To get back to your first point--that some "varsity" umpires could do a better job than some mlb umpires. While there are some excellent varsity umpires, that might be the dumbest comment I ever heard. Actually, that stupidity might only be topped by your claim that the only reason you're not in the big leagues is because you didn't go to umpire school. You have no idea what it takes to work in the big leagues. By the way, post your real name and I'll ask Mike Winters if he's ever heard of you. If so, I'll let him know that you think you could do his job as good as him.

Yeah, buddy, what part of the previous post didn't you read, or can you? How do you know what I know? You don't, so STFU! Got it jont? I said I regret making the remarks. What, you didn't get to throw your fuel on the fire, so it's your turn to pile on? Bulls***. Yeah, Mike knows who I am, because we've talked at our meetings on several occasions. He is the probationary teacher for our association, so I don't see him in classes. But don't presume to think you know what I do or do not know. I know exactly what it takes to work the big leagues. I didn't say I could do his job as good as him, so don't put words in my mouth. Mike doesn't run around thinking he's special because he's in the majors. He's a regular guy, just like all the others are. I'll bet you know what Jerry Crawford had for breakfast yesterday. Jeez.

Check my qualifications with Dave Davies, who I PM'd on the other board. I certainly don't owe you a damn thing. I tried to take the high road here, but if you keep running smack, I'll smack you back.

How the f*** would you know whether or not I know what it takes to work the big leagues? You don't know me. Damn, I'm starting to understand PWL now, jeez, what part of my contrition did you not follow? I took back the stupid things I said. That includes my original point. So quit bringing it up. Cease. Desist. Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

P.S. Steve is my real name, is your real name "jont"?

Steve,

My apologies. I've been eating too many beer tacos and forgot what other board I was on last evening. So, I didn't get your PM.

Remind me where I was last night, will ya?

Hi Dave, I PMd you at umpire.org. I am just tired of having to explain myself. I tried to say, hey look, I made a mistake, can't we just drop it and move on, but I don't think that's good enough for some.

Thanks, and I hope this helps.
