Be careful yourself, don't try to spin anything I say. I said what I said and nothing more, regardless of how you would want to spin things.

Most people have jobs that they trained for in some capacity. Whether you pick fruit, wash dishes, wait tables or fly the space shuttle - all are qualified and earned the right to work those jobs.

For the record, the AMLU members ARE qualified and did earn the right to work those games - THEY SIMPLY CHOSE NOT TO WORK THEM!!!!

For the record, I HAVE SAID THEY ARE QUALIFIED AND DID EARN THE RIGHT TO WORK ALL ALONG! As far as choosing not to work- that isn't the case at all. It is a strike, a recognized labor negotiation tactic...again with the spin...

* THEY CHOSE NOT TO ACCEPT SPRING ASSIGNMENTS.

* THEY CHOSE TO WALK OUT AND ABANDON THEIR RIGHT TO THOSE GAMES.

* THEY CONTINUE TO MALIGN AND TERRORIZE THE REPLACEMENT UMPIRES.

It sounds like the amateurs may be more professional - they honor their contract and complete the job. They don't discredit their position, no matter what you say. They recognize their place and value the game.

I reread what you wrote (not said). You implied that you are trained and earned your job and made specific note of the AMLU gang. I'm sure that others read that the way I did. You are a wannabe and neverwillbe; you aren't that clever. Your history proves that you don't move in successful circles. That's too bad, a little achievement might have made you not so bitter.

You make great efforts to sound intelligent in your post, and yet you fail miserably every time. The only wannabe here is you, you wannabe smart, you wannabe in the know, you wannabe in the game, BUT YOU ARE NOT! The system worked, in weeding you out of the game leaving room for quality umpires who know how to handle themselves and don't run their mouths only proving their foolishness like you always have. Look up if you wish to address me, I "move in circles" a few rungs above you now on the umpire food chain.
