[Mark Padgett]

I was only scheduled for six, but one of the guys had to cancel and I stayed and worked an extra game. I wound up with four in the morning and three in the evening. I started at 8:15 am and finished at 9:45 pm. All the games were 8th grade boys. The first four were local rec league and the last three were part of a "competitive" tournament with teams from all over the state. I have three more of those this afternoon.

During one of the evening games, some moron in the stands yelled at me, "What game are you watching?" I turned and yelled back, "Obviously, not the one that exists only in your head".
