  I read this article on YahooSports. To ban a child for being too good is just wrong.

  What a joke. I read the article on ESPN about this earlier. Too good to play little league? Give me a freaking break.

    That' is just completely wrong i mean you never hear about banning a kid for sucking at a sport. And now you're gonna ban this one kid because he is TALENTED.... Come one, what kind of crap is that?!?
  • orions replied August 26, 2008

    word...wonder what I would do if that was my kid...stay calm...haha
• wjbrown3 said August 25, 2008

  wonder if some wealty parent of a kid on another team pitched a fit (pun intended) and that is what got him banned

  that sucks... how can u ban a child from little league becuase hes good? How is that fair? This doesnt give an example to litle kids.. they will grow up to learning that being too good in a sport will result in u getting kicked out. What about that girl who was kicked off a basketba;; team or w/e because she was better than thte boys??

  this is absolutely ridiculous to ban him from pitching. parents these days are f'ed up, george carlin will tell you that. its not about winning or losing at that age its just about letting the kids play and have fun.

    i would guess that is part of the leagues argument that the other players cant have fun because he is too good and they cant compete. lame but that is my guess

    MLB rules say a team can only have one nine year old on the active roster so we'd have to trade Rollins first.
    • LILEAGLE replied August 26, 2008

      YOU'RE RIGHT!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT!!! PHUCK!!!
    • orions replied August 26, 2008

      nice...looks like you don't want "Jroll" next year!
      • boogerking replied August 27, 2008

        Still a little sore about his comments although if he helps us beat the Mets again tonight I might be willing to forgive and forget.
      • LILEAGLE replied August 27, 2008

        YOU CHEAP "HO" BOOG!!!!...LOL!!!!!
      • orions replied August 27, 2008

        Pedro really disintegrated, wow...Rollins is type of player, if he produces in post season, like Manny in past, you can "overlook" shenanigans
  • orions replied August 26, 2008

    that's a gem right there...can't fathom how Moyer has done it all these years bro

  bunch of whiny f*cking parents who got this idea to ban the good should be banned themselves

  a Travesty...Kruk said tonight "your encouraging quitting, New Haven, by telling this kid your too good, so tough luck, you aren't allowed to play"...messed up...maybe he can play for Tiawan...fundamentally, how can that LLBoard defy the competitive nature of Sports...Parents of that kid!: Sue who? Sue everybody

  Maybe what they should have done is made a team of all crappy players and this kid that way you can pray for the crappy players to score while having the best pitcher. that might be somewhat fair.
  
  Now by banning him they have made him a star and now they are gonna make him rich cause i sure smell a LAWSUIT coming their way.
