How's that resume comparison coming?
One more lie from Rut:
Here's what started it all...from my archive on McGriff's (November 4, 2003 - 3:18 p.m.) I saved this because it was part of a letter I provided to our Board of Directors.
"We have Big Dogs in our area that try to control what the rest of the umpires do. They belong mostly to one group an have a reputation that cost them some one of the best leagues. These Big dogs try to intimidate younger rookies and keep the best games for themselves. When I came here I talked to some other officials that warned me about how things are done with that group. I get plenty of games without working with them and my games are just as good. Look for games that are assigned by an assignor or athletic director directly. Know your skills and try to work with others that are the same. Soon you might be one of the Big Dogs."
Yep, that was beautiful...I responded about how some guys work harder and that it is not difficult to become a Big Dog, but it was tough to stay on top. I also pointed out that the group in question would never have him as a member, since he obviously had a confidence problem. I figured it would end, but I was wrong. Rut fails to see that he launched the first volley, but can't fight the war. My baseball season is over (clinics will begin soon), so I have the time to correct his inaccuracies (that is as nice as I could put it). Lying and cheating are horrible traits for officials. I think I've made that abundantly clear.
