sheeesh
ecurebel-
easy boy. Just a little fun being had. I fully expect someone to come by and give me a ribbing if I accidentally do something wrong no matter what it is. No ill intent was meant by either of us. I apologize if we came off tht way. -Josh

i catch enough sarcastic persons with wit and banter similer to this one's daily. if antagonism over ones spelling or gramatical mistakes is this person's cup of tea then i don't see why he would be offended by the remarks for it seems that darwinism has yet to take affect in CT.

Balk
One of my favorites:
Typical balk: F1 engages the rubber, comes set, and separates his hands. I'm PU and, of course, call "Balk." D Coach comes out with the standard, "what did he do?" I explain the balk. Between innings I get the ole "ya gotta minute, Blue?" Me, BU, and D Coach go to the mound where Coach is trying to say he didn't actually engage the rubber. Both my partner and I saw it the same way and during his attempt to get us to either a) change our call or b) say we were wrong, actually said this (and I swear I'm NOT making this up): "He only 'stepped' on the rubber and he only did that to deceive the runner." Still laughing about that one!

I liked this one
R1 and hot shot to CF, R1 has wheels, and and rounds 2 going to 3rd, CF launches a quality throw in to the dugout. I award R1 home and BR 2nd as he was about 3/4 the way to 1st when the CF throws the ball.
Coach comes out and asks why BR is on 2 not #rd, I explain, and he says no way, he got the ball through the infield, he is "given 1st base", He got a hit so he was "given 1st base", I said, no he was given anything until the ball went out of play. The coach throws up his hands and leaves. He talk to me again after the game nicely about it, and still thinks he is right.

13 yr old PONY tourney
Batter squares to bunt and takes a fastball to the body....nothing odd happened, he tried to turn away from the pitch, but catches him in the body.....HBP....
Defensive coach asks for time and tells me...."the rule is when a batter squares to bunt he gives up the right to be hit by the pitch"........... Just when you think you've heard them all........ Stan

Quite entertaining...
I'm also thinking that "ecurebel" might be something like ECU Rebel - East Carolina University? It's not as much fun as the spelling thing.
