Y'all Disappoint me!
Y'all are disappointing me this year. Usually by this time we have at least one thread (often more) going on EACH internet umpire's forum that contains a bunch of out-of-the-loop internet umpires stating that "I know from a person 'in the game' that these are definitely the umpire crews for this year's post-season," (or words to that affect) or offering some "predictions" for post-season assignments.
Have we really matured this much as a group (of internet posters), that we are not going to participate in this futile exercise this year...but rather wait for the actual announcement? If so, then we've made great strides. o.k. with that said, I now offer the following announcement: "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Lawump is now getting his pompous @ss off of his high horse. Thank You." By the way my predictions this year are: (just joking). |

I find the idea of following MLB umpires (memorizing their numbers, knowing their stances, etc) somewhere between creepy stalker, and groupie. Players, yes. Arbiters, um, no.
Maybe the group, as a whole, is growing up a bit. That being said, Garth, how is Luciano NOT U1, with guns ablazin'? |

If an up and coming actor followed current successful actor's, to study their skills and learn from them, they would be considered diligent and aspiring !
If a family man is taking time away from his family, to track sports players, umpires, actors, etc., that's creepy. If you've got the time to do it, and enjoy it, go for it ! Me, I'm too busy doing it, to obsess about it. And yes, I wish I had the time to track & study better umpires than myself. Hell, I wish I had more time to sleep !

And Steve, I completely agree with your first post; it's pretty much how I feel as well.

For your information, August J. Donatelli was one of the finest umpires ever to grace a baseball field. I was nicknamed after him, and chose his name as a moniker on the other forum as a way of showing honor to that fine gentleman. Certain people took exception with that, which is okay, yet very much none of their damn business what name I use on the internet. I have been known in my HS association as Augie for about 20 years now, like it or not, that's what they call me. You should one day be anywhere near the umpire Augie Donatelli was. Until that day arrives, keep asinine comments such as that one to yourself.
