Hate working teams like this?

[U of M Sam]

What level and rule set?
Do you have the 15 runs difference after 3 innings and 10 runs difference after 5 innings rule?
Talk to your assignor about you not working games with your poorly dressed and seemingly unprepaired "cocky" and "unique" umpire partner.
From your description he sounds like a "knucklehead".

HS varsity (FED rules).....no mercy rule. There are 3 or 4 teams that we all love to work when they play each other but it's usually not a lot of fun when they are playing the other teams.

I was hoping that my partner was as good as he said he was even though he didn't look the part. Before the game started one of the F2's asked me if I got my partner off the street?

I spoke with my assignor as I was driving home from the game.

Careful throwing that Knucklehead name around, us die hard Boilermakers are known as Knuckleheads.

Well, I'm not in the business of 'physically restraining' other umpires. If he's there and insists on working, he's going to want to be paid, and that's not under my control.

Call the assignor when done. You know the coaches are going to call the assignor about him, anyway.

I've never heard the Knuckleheads remark before. I too am a die hard Boilermaker, Chem E '78.
