I could care less about that. I never said anything bad about your mother. You just want to imply it that way. Your the hypocrite and just don't know it. So stick your head back in your "hole".

A typical rookie mistake on your part. Hell, you'll learn soon enuff I guess. Come on down and let us teach you a thing or two. Since we got so many balls down here, tell you what. Fix you up a mess of calf fries. I know you'll enjoy that. Make ya grow hair in places monkeys don't.

Here's why, and mind you this is purely hypothetical.
Top of the forth inning with R1 only. Home teams left handed pitcher fails to gain sufficient direction and distance on a successful pickoff on R1.
I call, "That’s a balk, Time!! You second base."
Defensive manager in a huff comes out. "Hey, Tim, how in the he11 is that a balk, it looked like a good move to me!"
"Skip, he stepped more toward home than first and that's a balk."
He then say's, "Show me in the rule book where that's a balk!"
"Skip the rule say's he must step directly toward the base, he didn't do that, now lets play ball."
"That sucks!" says the coach.
Now we're in the bottom of the sixth with R1 only as well...........

Your a parasite to every forum on the Internet with your do this, don't do that, say this, can't say that bullchit. I like your little comment where you say you have the freedom from your job to do this all day, every day. Bullchit, they fired or suspended you if you act on the job like you do on these forums.
I can take being called a Smitty. That doesn't bother me one bit. Anybody calls me a Haagy, there will be hell to pay, I can tell you that much for sure. I don't know what kind of bottom feeder would have to become extinct for you to move up on the food chain.

Oh Dumpmeister, mind your own business. You should be happy. The weather is warming up and the sheep will need shearing, if you know what I mean. And, I think that you do.
No bridge for me. I'm at your mama's single wide right now.

Just before each catcher throws down to second in the first inning I say:
"My name is Tee and I don't throw balls back to the pitcher I will hand them to you."
The universal answer I get in my neck of the woods is:
"Thanks, I HATE umpires that throw the ball back, I like to do it!"
Just matters what is the situation on your part of the globe.

You could take some throwing lessons from Richard Simmons.
Maybe you should take up struming the banjo, and see if that makes it any stronger.

These are just a few of the many "constructive" posts made to this board by my friend from Texas.
