So, Tim C
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In your last "blog" entry, you made the following comment:
Crossing a picket line of a strike is neither a moral or an ethical decision. It is nothing more than a business decision.
I disagree.
I would "scab" for FAR less money than I am being paid. Indeed, I would not work PCL games for free, but, I would not work ANY level of baseball for free.
Indeed, my decision to "scab" wasn't based on morals or ethics in any direct way.
Simply, it is an opportunity of a lifetime to umpire the best baseball I will ever get to umpire.
It is also a chance for me to get an idea of how good I currently am, and how good I might have become had I made different decisions many years ago concerning my umpiring career.
I just thought you should know.

When the regular umps come back, I am SURE we will never see a call they make contested!

Well let's see:
I don't write a "blog" . . . I write a column which I am paid for.
Also, I don't understand your point other than attempting to clarifiy the "whys" of your decision to work. My column is VERY clear that all information about deciding to work (or not) is about my personal decision.
Last if you would read the entire column and just not the tease you might understand what the column is about and my position. You would also find that I criticize both the striking umpires and the replacement umpires: however that would take effort on your part and you rather sit back, hide behind a screen name and take shots . . . that's OK it just keeps my name and column in people's minds.
Again, I recognize that I probably work games with you in Portland . . . and that you are the source of complaint to our mutal assignor . . . for that I am sad.
I have copied and pasted PDX's comments on this thread prior to yours Tim.
I cannot for the life of me find a "personal attack" that you claimed he started. I think he wrote a well thought out rebuttal to your article or Column or blog or whatever, I find that you got very defensive and took a shot at his integrity re. reading the column and then claiming he is attacking you in portland with the ump in chief, or that he is a bad umpire that constantly gets complaints I can't tell. I think you have over reacted to this Tim.
