It is time to turn the page. Nothing is going to change by what we say here. Nothing is going to change the fact that umpires decided to work those games. If you did not want to see your name on the internet, then you should not have worked the games in this day and age. Twenty years ago the internet was not a big deal and we would not know just about everyone that worked these games. Today, everything is on a camera phone, association lists are put on websites and email and blackberries are something we see all the time.

So if you want to debate this stupid issue over and over again, be my guest. The strike is over and if you feel the AMLU umpires were not considered important by Minor League Baseball, what do you think they think of the ability of these replacements?

Peace
