I just got in from an afternoon grind with a couple teams that forgot how to pitch. I needed a drink and a laugh...thankfully I can find both easily.

As a couple members have stated already, my post was to be taken as a sarcastic homage. Those of us who have witnessed the unfurling of the AMLU venom flag for the past ten months know what my words meant. I believe specific names were even cited, so I'm not sure how you could have concluded that it was directed towards you.

It is ironic that a few misguided members thought that 'real' professional umpires know how to settle potential flare ups before they happen. They proferred that warnings would be issued from the league to the crew, the chief would reinforce league policy and issue a warning at the plate meeting. Because they see so many of these teams and know the tensions, they are the only ones who can prevent things like this from occuring. Right! I found it laughable then and when I needed one again, the board did not disappoint.
