I am not mad about the umpires, just baffled at how many of you think that everyone came to watch you or at least your actions say that. Just too many arrogant umpires.
WOW Extreme, your posts thoughts sound just like the umpires you are dogging. Arrogant, and wanting to be "right" about your everything.
The meetings start this winter "Mr I have to be Right". Put your beliefs of umpiring to the test, and lets see what you've got. With the way you won't let this thread die, I think you would crumble when you get behind the plate for game 8 of the day in 90 degree heat. Not saying that alot of the umpiring personnel don't need some improvement, but continuing to belittle the whole profession, and not being willing, or able to get involved and help shows your true colors.
To conitinue complaining and not being willing to help the process improve shows what you are made of. Suit up, or shut up skippy.
I will be at those meetings, just like all the meetings for the past many years. Taking my tests, going to the many 2 hour classroom sessions at nights and on the weekends, paying my fees, buying new equipment, spending my money on gas, & studying my rulebook. Just so I can try to get every call I make correct, and the girls can have the experience of playing this great game.
Oh BTW, you are probably the person who NEVER says thanks, you called a good game to my fellow umpires. You NEVER say thanks to us for busting our butts to get into position, to get the call right. You just want to chirp about one call in a game of hundreds of calls that you thought was questionable for your little suzie. Get a grip, and suit up if you think you can handle it. Otherwise, if you are not willing to do that, just play the hand you've been dealt and continue to complain on these anonymous message boards.
