Personally, I think that there are too many cry-babies carrying a bat these days. I have never seen so many players pi$$ & moan about called strikes as there have been this season. Who do these players think they are? When you come right down to it, they suck! They have averages between 250 & 300 yet they expect the umpire to be 1000 and better!

In my day, you kept your mouth shut or your manager would fine your butt for arguing, then put your butt on the bench for a couple of games - and that is if you were right! Players turning around and confronting the umpire was just not done. It was your job to swing to the umpire's zone and that was that. But today, you get 100 times the money and complain about every little thing. Professionals? My a$$!
