SDS, I don't think that anyone on this board ever takes what you say seriously.


Now that's funny

Nope, still not your forte.

It was sincere, sir. I appreciate those who have the correct information. I try to be correct in my postings, which is why I have a habit of contacting those who can provide the real deal. I'll most certainly add you to that list. Although I have a feeling we've communicated privately before.

Thanks, again.....really.

Not since you claimed to be good enough to be a MLU.

Your claim that your local association is as prestigious as PBUC, which refines and produces ten to twenty-five or so professional umpires each year is right up there with that. Congratulations. Most doubted that you could achieve that level of nonsense twice.

[SanDiegoSteve]

Yes, as soon as PBUC reaches its 60th anniversary, I'll put it in the same class. Meanwhile, Doug Harvey, Jon Kibler, Ed, Paul, and Brian Runge, Mike DiMuro, and Mike Winters all came from this one association. I was speaking of its rich history, which PBUC does not share. PBUC cranks out pro umpires every year, which it finds from many associations and individuals worldwide. It's kind of just there, a depository for the talented umpires of the world. Nothing it has done on its own merits has earned any distinction.

I really meant nobody taking my jesting comments seriously. I am right about most umpiring issues. Apparently, I was more right than you about calling Time to clean the plate. Oh, well Garth, you can't be right all the time. And you can make fun of my dream of being a MLU all you want, but I was still a damn good umpire, and you dismissed me without even seeing my work, which was very ignorant of you. That is when I discovered you had an anal personality. Or are you just an a$shole?

Steve, Steve, Steve....

You bet. One rarely is right all the time. You should take note of how others admit their errors and try it sometime.

And, as I recall someone offered, at their own expense to come see you work and you declined. Who was that?

Oh, well, I see your limited vocabulary has bound you up again. I think it's time to put you back on the list. Enjoy your evening. I won't stoop to your level.

Yeah, I sure hope you put me back on the list. My vocabulary isn't limited in any way. I do not need to throw a bunch of fancy words around, like you feel the need to do apparently, in order to feel superior to others.

I did not decline Dave Davies' offer. In fact, I said at the time that if he could find a game that I could umpire, I would be glad to do it. I was not a member in good standing of any working group at that time, and had no upcoming games scheduled. However, I'll put my umpiring skills up against yours any time you want to make the same deal. I'm sure they are quite comparable.

And you must mean you won't rise to my level, because I am certainly not beneath the likes of you.

Everybody out! Time to go. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. Now.......

GB:

As I remember, you made that offer to fly to see Steve work a game and the silence from San Diego was deafening.

When are you coming back to NY? You must have a reunion or something coming up don't you?

Wherever Windy/WWTB is today, I'm sure he's laughing his keister off at this one!!!!

For some reason, this reminds me of that Alfred Hitchcock movie with Anthony Perkins and the Bates Motel..........

You have a horrible memory. Garth never made any such offer. I would not back down from any challenge. If several major league umpires have watched me work, and told me that I did a great job, and that I'm a damn good umpire, that's enough for me. I really don't need any feedback from amateurs such as Garth or yourself to validate my abilities.

And PWL, you have no room to talk. I would be scared to have to play in a game you were officiating.
