I have no problem dumping players when they decide they don't want to be there for the night any longer. The problem is, very few others take care of business.

I am the only umpire to ever ask for a line-up, the only umpire to ever check bats, the only umpire who ever abides by the ball rotation rule, the only umpire who keeps them in the dug out, the only umpire who makes them wear their hats right, the only umpire to make the runner on 3rd keep contact with the base, the only umpire to call an IP if the pitcher is off the PP, the only umpire to call an IP when the pitcher starts to pitch and stops for whatever reason the come up with......yada, yada, yada.
But to keep going, I just think how much smarter the Three Stooges were compared to these comedians.
