Yeah, right...that's apples to apples.

C'mon W, you're better than that!

I deleted the post about the Indoor Football being fired because it's humor wore thin. Apologies to the masses...

What - it'll be time to lie about another replacement umpire?
- time to post the name of another replacement umpire with photo?
- time to lock down the most slanderous part of the website?
- time to humiliate another official for just doing his job?


You aren't fooling anyone. When this issue is settled, you will have lost many friends and admirers. Lots of us thought that some of you were fine examples of dedication to the game. The very thought of asking you to speak in front of an impressionable group makes me nauseous. Pre-strike you asked for all umpires to unite and support those who do a thankless job. Now, you stab, smear and slander any guy that accepted those assignments. It doesn't matter to you if that guy makes $15,000 a year (not for a 5 month season, supplemented by additional income), you call him names and hold him up for ridicule. Your hypocrisy is disgusting...accept the offer and work the games in return for a chance at glory. If you wash out, you'll be like every struggling artist, musician or athlete. Some of us cleared the way so that the likes of you could hold our amazing past time hostage. I'm so embarrassed by the actions of the AMLU.

According to the Detroit News, the mediator brokered an agreement and the strike is effectively over.

The story is on the top-right under "AP Headlines".

Smile 6 Year Deal?

Salary and per diem are the primary issues.

But I want details. Give me details. \ ... /

Details? You want details? How about this...the current offer is almost exactly the same as the old one. If they take the offer, they're freaking nuts...the board has advised them to take the offer...so tell me...what in the world did they strike for?

A very disappointed ex-MiLB umpire
