Guess what. If you had half a clue, you'd know that there's fast pitch, slow pitch, modified pitch and 16" slow pitch. Maybe if you knew a bit more about softball, you would have known that. As such, it should have been "worst," but I digress.

Yes, each umpire should pass the ASA test. However, that doesn't mean they will always be perfect on the field. They're human, and they will make mistakes. Sorry. Deal with it.
There are good umpires, there are bad umpires, there are great umpires, and there are terrible umpires. The great umpires typically get the assignments they want. If they don't like a particular league or level of play because the players are too mouthy, then they don't get those assignments. Who gets those assignments? The rookies. Sad, but true.
So this is an A league, huh? I think the nail was hit right on the head when someone else on this board suggested that "A" stands for something else, and you're the prime example of this alpha male behavior that's all too common in slow pitch (trust me, I've been calling SP for the last, oh, 17 years). My thought is that you fellas probably b1tched and moaned your way out of having good umpires, and you're getting what's left. I've seen it happen.
And like I said... Your attitude and behavior on here only serve to reaffirm my suspicions. Now, I've been more than accommodating with you. I've answered your questions, despite this nagging feeling in the back of my head that, frankly, I shouldn't even bother with you. If you're going to cop an attitude with me, then to hell with you. You aren't even worth the time I spent typing out this message.
I reiterate: rethink your priorities in life, fella, because you've got some issues. Frankly, $44 isn't worth it to get me to call your games.
