I know Garth's son, Matt. Garth's son, Matt, is a friend of mine. Lieutenant Dan, you're NO Matt.

"Most folks at this site," which is the group Garth compared his son's umpiring skills to, have revealed a great deal about their umpiring experience and competence by posting on this site. Garth knows what his son's experience, professional training, and competence level is (as do I and some others here), and his conclusion that Matt knows how to umpire better than most folks on this site is, on the basis of empirical data, completely supported.

If you think you have enough of a command of the English language and can write competently enough for others to comprehend, and you actually have something to brag about in your career, feel free.

For starters, see if you can find a dictionary and look up the words, "are", "your", "then" and "homophone."

And, if your teacher is giving you anything above a "D" in English, also look up "grade inflation."

Some have the 'goods' to brag. Some desperately need to quit posting until they acquire some 'goods.'

Dan, again, I refer you to a site which may assist your quest in another area:

I find SDS's post about Garth's son highly ironic, given the way he first appeared on this board.

And, as much as I hate to close a thread shortly after I've posted, lest I be accused of taking the last shot, then running and hiding, I think I will.

SanDiegoDan,

I suggest you let your Uncle Steve give you the proper training that he has received from all the pro school grads. Then perhaps you can lay such claim to this statement.
