Things a ROOKIE NEEDS to know...

[JIGGY]

I DIDN'T SAY ALL OF WHAT IS ON HERE IS CRAP, BUT A GOOD PORTION OF IT IS. THAT IS NOT AT ALL AN UNFAIR STATEMENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT A ROOKIE CAN'T DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN WHAT IS GOOD ADVICE AND WHAT IS GARBAGE POSTED BY SOME CLOWN WHO FIGURES THAT AFTER PUTTING IN 20 YEARS AS A LITTLE LEAGUE UMPIRE IN CHEIF BOARD COUNCIL DIRECTOR ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE DISTRICT LEADER OF THE LEAGUE HE CAN TELL PEOPLE WHAT HE THINKS SHOULD BE DONE. FOR EXAMPLE "KEEP YOUR EYE EVERLASTINGLY ON THE BALL" SOUNDS LOGICAL, BUT WOULD NOT MAKE FOR VERY GOOD UMPIRING IN MOST SITUATIONS. (PROFESSIONAL TRAINING TEACHES YOU THAT BY THE WAY) YEAH ABOUT THE CAPS THING...

There's no need to shout. You've made your point, albeit a poor one.

You're a little too jiggy..... JIGGY.

... besides apparently, an idiot. Perhaps someone needs to cut your tether.

Thank goodness the world is not completely filled with idiots and most rookies will be able to tell the good from the bad. Everybody isn't perfect from the beginning (believe it or not) and most of us have picked up some really good stuff from this forum.

WHEN YOU QUIT SHOUTING AND START LISTENING, YOU MIGHT TOO!

Excellent and intelligent argument and contribution.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
