Does this mean anything? Could this be the telling issue?

Hmmmm, what an interesting turn of events.
I'm not working any games right now, that's the telling issue, wise guy! I said that I am expecting a job which COULD interfere with my availability. If you want to fly me to where there's a game I can umpire for you right now, send me a ticket and I'll come work the game.

I'm trying to humble my egotistical self here, and apologize for my stupid remarks. You seem interested in piling on more misery. Kick the guy when he's down type of thing. Jeez, I said I misspoke, what more do you want.

I certainly am not making any excuses and I never said "gee, I can't". I said I'm not going to a Jim Evans Classic, because I'm not trying to prove I can have a heat stroke (hear it was cancelled anyway). I then jokingly (I thought) said just put me in the show. Said very tongue-in-cheek. As are many of the things I say.

Hey, Tee, when you worked your seven practice games for the Mariners, did they tell you that you weren't good enough? Just curious.

Here I am, trying to be contrite, and everyone wants to just keep it up. I think about 10 posts ago, I said drop it, but nobody did.
