Mike may remember the bozo I sent to him in a tournament. He didn't like a lot of things in that game - all mainly due to him bringing a recreational team to an A tournament AND that he had to improve to be a recreational level coach. Anyway, he threathened to speak to the uic about me - my response was OK, go do that now.
Exactly. A lot of these coaches are blow-hards who love to toss out empty threats, thinking that we'll back down when they threaten to "tattle" on us.

I love their reactions when I don't.

When it comes to opinions about my umpiring, I only care about the ones from four people: my own, my assignor's, my State UIC's, and my tournament UIC's. We work in priorities, and those are mine.

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.
