[BadAxe]

jicecone , How bout stopping the crticizing tone? I was asking for opinions, not judgements. As far as the communications, this is a 1st year league, so we are learning as we go along.

My remark about the other bad calls made is not throwing mud in any way. There are a lot of problems with the umps this entire year, and the league has already decided to replace them next year. As I stated, the bad calls were not all against us, and NONE came in the inning where we totally lost it, except the call to end the game. They made calls so bad that when corrected by the coach they actually changed their call on the field. Nice professional umps huh? I am just throwing mud huh?

Didn't mean to offend your profession, but you jumped to conclusions you shouldn't have. Didn't the agreement we said yes to when signing up to these boards state no attacks? Well, I wish you would go back and read it. I would not sling mud at umps as I have done some umping before, albeit only at the LL level.

As I stated we are a 1st year league, with a lot of 1st year teams. We are learning, but yes, we have made some mistakes along the way. We have learned a lot that we will apply to next season.

Are you an ump? because if so, its attitudes like you just displayed that make horrible umpires. The kind that realize the power they have and like to excercise it in a game and be part of the outcome instead of letting the players decide.

So when you realize the rudeness of your reply, I will be around to apologize to.
