Wow, thanks for the cool web sites!!

[PanamaCityBrian]

Although I think that is a really neat post with all the information. I do believe this is going to start one ugly thread of people bashing about scabs (IMHO). So maybe everyone can keep that to a limit. I would really appreciate it there are enough posts about that subject.

[umpduck11]

Outstanding ! It's like 411 for "scabs".

[JIGGY]

So...

It has been said often as a defense of those Scabs who chose to cross, "every man has to make his own decision." That is fine. I agree. But why would you choose to encourage others to scab?

UNDERSTAND THAT IF YOU GO TO WORK MINOR LEAGUE GAMES YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING NOBLE, YOU ARE SIMPLY DOING SOMETHING SELFISH- BEING A SCAB! No matter how "good" you think you do, or how bad MiLB says they need you, you will not have a job in professional baseball when the union guys come back to work! (and for those of you who think the union will be busted-wrong- but even if it was the scabs will not "earn" any spots for next year, MiLB and PBUC will re-hire qualified umpires and canidates from the schools)

[SanDiegoSteve]

Oh, give it a freakin' rest, will ya. Jeez......

people come here to spew whatever they possibly can, and they are not being stopped.

[PanamaCityBrian]

Guys let's just let this post be as it is. It is information for people who want to work MiLB that is it. No other SCAB comments are neccesary we understand.

No kidding. I would say 95% of those working MiLB games have absolutely ZERO aspirations of working full time. Why would they want to go from making 65,000/yr to making peanuts? Most of 'em can't wait till the regular guys come back anyway - it's the regular guys' place to be there. They are the most qualified to work them.

Hey, don't be so sure about replacements or "scabs" not getting a shot at pro ball. A realistic possibility exists that local umpire associations (probably collegiate but not necesarily) may take over short season A ball and possibly all of single A level PORFESSIONAL baseball after this all hashes out. Stay tuned......

[SanDiegoSteve]

Hey D-Man!!!

Do you think I could get a job in this "PORFESSIONAL" baseball?

[BenedictArnold]

I think it says a lot about your abilities if you have to contact the leagues to get games. My goodness, getting high school games is harder.

Whoever started this post should be ashamed of yourself. You are worse than a SCAB. What umpire school did you attend, I am sure they didn't get selected for PBUC.

Anyone considering using this list, remember that you will never take their jobs. Where I come from, you do not go looking for the next level. If you are good enough to be there they would find you.

the guys working these games probably know its only temporary. they dont appear to be working these in hopes of getting into the bigs, they are doing it to make a buck and keep baseball going. whether or not that is the right thing to do, im not touching on that anymore. of course this has been said hundreds, and hundreds, and hundreds of times before...

also, where you come from, no one would go anywhere after high school.

Sure seems like local associations in Florida and Arizona have the best shot.

The last two lines were brilliant. So you mean you were recruited to attend professional school? The PBUC boys swooped down out of the sky and plucked you from your local rec field?

Can't...stop...laughing...stop...it...hurts...too. ..much!

Any umpire who dreams of becoming a MLB umpire needs to attend a professional school. Very few enrollees go there because they couldn't figure out what to do wth their lives and figured that they had a few grand to waste. Logic is wasted on you.
