I was referring to the beer drinking...

But yes, having called intramural softball and supervised it as well, I know exactly what you're talking about.

Funny thing was that I was one of few umpires who threw people out. I wasn't going to take their $h!t. Best part about it was as I was walking back to the building to check out, my boss was walking out of the building. I had ejected someone the previous day. In front of everyone he says, "hey, Dave! I heard you tossed someone out yesterday! Awesome work, man!" and gave me the thumbs up.

Gotta love a program director who's got your back!

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.
