But isn't baseball a soap opera?

I come to this forum to learn...Baseball, not read an online soap opera.

I am a young official that honestly wants to do the very best job everytime I step on the field. I read, study, listen and ask. I make mistakes and learn from them, and I offer help to others that may need it.

Above all, however, I use the best advice I have ever received: "Act like a professional".

If members here followed that simple Golden Rule, we'd all be better at what we do.

Hey, if you follow baseball its nothing but a "real life" soap opera.

And the last few years, the umpires have become more and more a part of the script.

Kind of like the WWE, WWF etc., come up with a good script and stay with it as long as it works.

Then change the script.

Thanks
David

...and "Action!"

Scene: Scientific Laboratory on a rainy night

(Evil laugh-offscreen)
Dr. Wizard: I've done it! I've finally done it! After all
of these years...the world will no longer laugh
at me. They'll soon know my wrath!

(zoom in on operating table)


Dr. Wizard: It's alive...breeding a chicken and a jackass, bombarding them with high levels of radiation and removing half of the frontal lobe...and yet, it lives! (Evil cackle)

(close up of hideous creature on table)

The Thing (Altar Boy in drag): Da-da? Da-da?

Dr. Wizard: Aaahhh, my precious little Altar Boy. We will have such fun together. Others will call you hideous names, but to me, you will always be..."Mini Me!"

(Lightning cracks as the scene fades to black. Cheesy music swells and we hera moaning and groaning)

"Cut!"


No resumé...no nerdy rules...no Friday follies...just showing our friends who you really are.

You've been drinking again, Windy. Your writing is incomprehensible, AGAIN! If you think you're funny, you're the only one that's laughing. The rest of us are amazed that an old man resorts to middle school humor.

Roger Ebert, you're not. I got 4 stars from several people that emailed me privately. It's too bad you are not on the list, I enjoy our moments together. By the way, I'm probably younger than you. Being a grandparent doesn't mean I'm AARP eligible. It just means that I married young and so did at least one of my offspring. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Popcorn, anyone?

Thanks for the laugh...you know, I do believe you are almost as much a smarta$$ as HHH.
and yes, I am here as much for the entertainment as the educatumum. Sorry I am a public school grajeate.

While the unnecessary name calling and one upsmanship gets old, if your going to resort to it, atleast make it good.

Windy's post was probably one of the more creative flames I've read on the internet in a long time. Unnecessary, but damn funny!

Pauly Shore is annoying. Some of Adam Sandler's work though is amusing.

You have got to be kidding! Both of them are more annoying that hemorrhoids. Now Jim Carrey is funny.

WCB, I thought that the "Frankenstein" bit was very funny.

Talking Culture?

Nice to see that between the sports talk and personal bashing going on, that we also have a little culture (and I mean a very little) on this site!!

LOL
