1st off, I made one simple mistake, when trying to decide what form of a verb to use (who really cares anyways!!!! and I bet 95% of adults dont even know the rule on when to use which, so F off) when, during the heat of the moment I only thought about FP and SP SB.
This is my last comment on this thread, already about 5 topics away from original topic.
Call slow pitch sissy ball is fine, your not going to offend me, Im not trying to be a professional umpire..... BUT how can you not see the irony of a SOFTBALL umpire making fun of a brand of softball, when BASEBALL is clearly the more manly of the sports.
I dont care what sport it is, when its being played by [grown] men, it, 9 times out of 10 will be played faster, stronger, more intensely, [insert adj here] than when its being played by women, or by guys not "good enough" to play baseball (yes im talking about guys playing modified or even fast pitch softball), thus making it harder to officiate. Obviously LL would probably be easier than NCAA SB, but Im talking about a 18+ NABA/MABL baseball league is harder to ump, than probably anything short of D I NCAA SB.
I dont know for sure, but I would wager a lot of money that the pay scale for baseball is higher than softball, and I would also wager a lot of money that the reason for such is that it is harder to ump a baseball game than it is a softball game.
