And as for you almost wetting your pants because of certain styles of MLB umpires, well that's why you PAY for a ticket to get in the game and those guys you make fun of are PAID to work those games. Enjoy being a baseball FAN because I know you're not a baseball umpire.

I can't believe that WindBag has not responded to this unwarrented attack. Let me respond for him. I'll try to do my best WindBag immitation as I put this usurper in his place.
Sal,
I've worked games that you only dream about. I've got a decade of minor league experience and another 15 years of NCAA experience on three D1 staffs. I've worked regionals and super regionals and have turned down the CWS in order to give riff raff a chance at the big time.
Joe Brinkman pays me a consulting fee to assist him in his umpiring. I was in the locker room after the Houston/Atlanta game to critique the umpires.
You're definitely a pup if you don't understand that a coach is arguing balls and strikes when he asks where a pitch is. Only a little league umpire answers a coach's question with regards to pitch location with anything other than a smartass response. Which little league do you work in?
You had to edit your post? How bad was it before you edited it?
