PWL? PWL is now posting under "Steven Tyler"?

Now things become a little clearer as to why so many of his posts have had to be deleted. It makes sense now.

PWL got the name right, the tense wrong.

Let me clear this up here. For the first 20 seasons of my umpiring life, I belonged to a fine, outstanding organization known as the San Diego County Baseball Umpires Association. It is an historic, famed group, which has produced quite a few major league umpires from its ranks.

Last season, I worked for a rag-tag group of smitties known as the San Diego Blues. I did this so I could work my little nephew's Minors games (I got to do one, total). This association is a badly run, unorganized group, with a dictatorial, draconian owner, president, chief of everything person. 90% of these umpires couldn't umpire JV Tiddlywinks on a good day.

This season, I'm not a member of any group, but when I refer to "my association," I mean the SDCBUA, which I will always consider myself associated with.

I posted the long list of umpire insults as a fun thing, not as any serious statement. I just thought everyone would enjoy reading it.

Perhaps the answer to the dilemma is to consider the possibility that "blue" is not quite the universal term of derision you portray it to be.

And perhaps it is. Tell somebody a lie long enough and it starts to look like the truth. Perhaps many have been brainwashed ala the Manchurian candidate. How about a nice game of solitaire, all you Blues out there?

This one has really gone to the point of absurdity. Good job guys.

(PS - if "Blue" was such a horrible thing, why would so many of the posters here have that word in their login?)

Thanks for being offended for me, Steve, I just don't seem to have the time ;)


no justice, no peace!

I have said repeatedly that if you like being called Blue, that's your prerogative. Some of us feel differently, that's all.

If "blue" evolved from "You blew that call", what will "You suck !" eventually
morph into ? :p
