Let's not forget the fact that quite often, the associations only hear from the parties directly involved. They rarely have the opportunity to hear an outsider's opinion, which can be helpful in disseminating the truth from the bull. Would I write a letter? Probably, especially if I see a good umpire getting the short end of the stick.

As I've said in other posts, I can't stand associations that won't properly back their umpires, and I refuse to call for them. When good umpires start walking out, maybe they'll start seeing the light.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
