Had a pretty good protest this weekend...

Before pregame Coach refuses to play because the pitchers dig a hole in the circle and he wanted the fields fixed so the pitchers couldnt dig a hole, before he would allow his team to play.

I know the TD fairly well and I was pretty sure how this protest was going to go, so I confirmed he wanted me to go get the TD to protest the field before start of play.

So I track down the TD and thus commenced a pretty one sided protest .. which consisted of the TD walking on the field and asking him in no uncertain terms if he was forfeiting "no I'm not forfeiting"
"Well its my understanding you are refusing to play so thats a forfeit"
stammer stammer..
So after a little berating, the TD has the ground crew push some dirt around and stomp around the pitchers plate, and he tells the coach to get the pregame done right now then to get his team on the field or he was done 7-0. He doesnt have his line up done so hes all dicked up fumbling around and rushing, I do my part in helping rush him.. and of course, since it was very hot, I was nice enough to make sure during the pregame that he really wanted to play and not forfeit - which unfortunately he had a change of heart so we played...
