Did I mention that we were 4 umpires short?? I did 4 in a row to start the day with 75 min time limit. Endted up doin 18 games in two days. I was drinking 3-4 20 oz waters per game and not peeing at all.

Back on the field this weekend in similar weather. Least we're getting $25 per game!
Wow. 4 games in a row and 9 games in a day - obviously the folks running things do not care whether umpires are able to give their best effort.
