Then when I asked this umpire to take the ties out, this umpire called me an *** in front of a bunch of fans (and 10 year old kids).
Needless to say, the umpire finished the game and then went home.

I think I'd have sent her home immediately. I'd rather have one game with a 2-man crew than this kind of irresponsibility and irreverance out there.
