This is definitely the heart of the matter. There's one league where I will only call games if my assignor is truly in a bind. The administrator there is absolutely weak, and the players are running things into the ground. There's no leadership, and our authority on the field is completely undermined by this administrator's limp-wristed backing of our calls. These guys are a liability waiting to happen.

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.
