it's over

8 more games. Enjoy being a scab while it lasts. And by the way, when you are done self fornicating, I would bet my life that a 1st year umpire in pro ball is better than you SCUMP. You are a joke to everyone. But just keep believing all of the complements from the players and managers that have been ordered not to argue with you. Like I said, 8 more days!

And don't worry boys, I will be sitting and waiting for another game being forfeited because an umpire loses control. AMLU guys lookout...overall you have some pretty tough shoes to fill 9 days from now. (SCUMP, since you obviously have a hard time telling when someone is being truthful, I am being sarcastic. So please don't come back on here and quote me like you do the players and managers that say they respect you and then laugh at you in the dugout)

Truth hurts boys!

Hey Arnold The Pig The Strike Is Over......hello Earth To Arnie....

Anybody That Works A Minor League Game After The Strike Was Settled Is Not A Scab.....

Some Body Fill In Ole Arnie On The Rules Concerning Unions, Strikes
Etc Etc......

Man I Can Not Wait For Perfection To Return To The Yards All Across America......

The Integrity Of The Game Has "really....really" Suffered....

Time To Get Those "well Trained" Highly Paid Umpiring Machines Back On The Field.......

Ummmm......this is not an example of sarcasm. It is an example of a very egotistical, bitter person, who thinks way too highly of himself. Please stop referring to people blowing themselves, it is really tacky.

My Thoughts As Well Steve.....angry, Bitter And Very Shallow...

I know what I need to know, you are a scab. I blieve that this qualifies as something about you. And the blowing comment (which has now been changed to something more appropriate) was in reference to the comment that an A ball guy can't even carry his mask out to the plate for him.

You call me shallow for pointing out that people are laughing at the replacement umpires. But you defend a guy who thinks that his time in the PCL is similar to an umpire who worked their way to get there. I was in the PCL years ago, and it wasn't easy to get there. This strike was unfortunate, but I am not going to sit back and let guys that never earned a right to work in pro ball bash the guys that have. If it hurts when I point out that they are laughing at you, then too bad. Like I said, the truth hurts!

And if you guys want to throw around that you made some extra money during this strike while the AMLU boys were at home, this too is a joke. You are only trying to get back the money you lost when you went to umpire school and were told you weren't good enough for pro ball. You call me bitter and shallow...Keep cutting down the umpires that have made it to AA and AAA. That is bitter and shallow. You guys are a joke, and you just can't see it. I am sure you will have some great stories to tell about your time in pro ball. Just be careful who you say them to, you no doubt will be called out for the loser you are by anyone that ever earned the right to walk on that field.

One last thing, I almost forgot. 7 more days!

Well, that was my comment, not his. I never worked as a replacement umpire, so I don't see the need for such a comment.

I have worked with minor league umpires on amateur games over the years, and in fact have given advice and tips to some of them. I stand by my comment, as I have rarely been overly impressed by them. I worked with one guy who had such a chip on his shoulder that he couldn't make it out of any high school games without running someone. He had the shortest fuse I'd ever seen. He brought his "us against the rats" philosophy with him to the amateur level, and it just doesn't work well.

You can stay upset at the replacement umpires, and work yourself an ulcer over it, or you can move past it, quit the childish countdown, and chalk it up to life's experiences. You guys screwed up by striking, blamed people for doing the job you wouldn't do even though you agreed to the terms at one time, and now you don't want to admit you screwed up. It is time to just take your lumps and get on with your "umpiring career."

I Want To Add I Never Made Any Reference To Anyone Carrying Or Not Carrying My Mask On This Web Site Or Any Other.

I Never Said I Worked In The Pcl Either......i Didn't Work There.

So B.....arnold Making Remarks About Me When You Are Refering To Someone Else Is Childish.

Like Steve Said The Amlu Is The One That Went On Strike Not Me.....after You Knew What The Pay Plan Was And The Odds Of Making It To The Bigs.....what Did You Expect, The Game To Stop While You Held Them Hostage For More Money...

You guys will never get it. I should have stuck by my original comment that you are not worth the words. Spin it anyway you want. I did not strike, I am retired. Just know this, you were offered to scab only after the league presidents called people like me and I said "No." So now when you tell people the story about how you worked minor league baseball be sure to tell them that you were not their 1st nor their 2nd choice. My final point on this before I move on...the AMLU didn't hold anyone hostage. They stood up against something much stronger and had less resources. How can you hold them hostage? Baseball treats umpires poorly, and replacement umpires only helped them ensure that they can continue to pay umpires a poverty wage. Way to be part of something so important. Therefore, as I said earlier, you guys are losers and now, along with the managers and payers, the owners are laughing at how you bought into their hype about how much you mean to the game. Take your shots at the AMLU, they are easy targets. But that makes you no different than any other fan that does it on a nightly basis. The only difference now is that the AMLU will work with their identities known...they won't hide. Check the box scores next week...you will find a list of umpires that are proud of what they do.

As a former MiLB umpire, I don't hesitate to say for a second that I am proud of the AMLU. Not because they got what they wanted, but rather because they had the courage to try.
