NO THANKS.
The truth is that every year there are a few individuals who watch these LL Umpires on national TV and are pi$$ed that it's not them. Your comments wreak of such an individual.

Rodney, everything you've said EXCEPT the above is sensible and reasonable. But the first statement is downright silly, and the second is an all-too-familiar method of "defending by attacking" that is intellectually dishonest and unbecoming of one who is supposed to have attained a level of experience and maturity that would preclude the use of such a tactic.
I'm sorry about your untimely illness that prevented you from participating in this year's LLWS, and I hope you do get to make it there next year.
