Oh brother,
Peter, Peter, Peter . . .
As a politician you could get elected.
Take a few comments out of context to prove your points.
While you are my friend I still get confused by your need to lower the bar of umpiring. I know, you just want to get rid of "Big Dogs."
I am sure that your thinking is developed by being a member of a union umpire group.
You have hit it very clear that the listserve group you mention tells stories about rats. But it would be more of a benefit if you kept things at least in context.
There are people that dislike Carl . . . your post may have lead people to believe that I had posted one of the negetive thoughts about CC . . . I think you need to research deeper before you shoot off your mouth (err, fingers).
Your independant thinking should be protected, your views shared with all but we also would like to see your keep the truth at the forefront of your arguements.

BTW, Carl has missed in his "history" lesson concerning where the term "Rat" comes from. It was first used at the COLLEGE level to talk of "star" high school players that got overmatched at the college level and, in turn, argued with umpires since "in high school I was never called out of strikes, Blue."
Rats is rats,
professional or non-professional,
if you coach (or manage) you are a rat,
and you are always looking to smell the cheese.
