I would rather take someone who keeps the game fair and shows up in jeans and a t-shirt any day than have to cancel a game the kids are looking forward to because we have no one to umpire.

Keep in in friggin perspective folks. [Edited by cmckenna on May 16th, 2005 at 09:15 PM]

1. so if they care less (which I dispute..whoever heard of LL parents who "didnt care less" LOL) , NO ONE at any of your games EVER complains about any umpire error...wow, what a nice environment that must be...I certainly will come and call games in that fantasy world...I wont have to worry about any mechanics or rules!

2. I have little confidence in your 'training' program if it comes from an attitude like this.

3. how can your 'umpires' "keep the game fair" if they dont know the rules and/or dont know proper procedures and mechanics?? Oh, I forGOT......no one complains about umpire mistakes in your world! I bet you have nothing to do!

4. My "friggin" perspective is fine. Yours appears to come from excessive defensiveness....as in most things, its not that 'you cant afford good umpires,' your parents simply will not pay for them. You generally get what you pay for...but if you are frustrated because you are not given the funds to hire better-trained umps, dont vent at us. You know where the cyber-door is
