Holy cow, Curacao
There are a million things right about the Little League World Series. The one thing wrong: Adults. There are too many of them. Making acronym signs, acting crazy in the stands for the cameras -- stop it. Let the kids have the spotlight. Even coaches sometimes go overboard. The manager from Venezuela must have gone to the mound 36 times Thursday just to shout the same message: "Duro!" They get it, coach. They're trying. But that's why it was awesome to see Curacao hit a two-out, three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh Thursday to beat Venezuela. This proved once again that adults can do all the hollering they want, but the game still comes down to the kids.
