I Guess I Deserved it, or Maybe Not.....

[Tim C]

"The ultimate hero? A martyr? A christlike figure willing to be sacrificed at the alter of bad umping?"

Again, it does not pay to say even the most simple of facts on this website.

Knowing Tim as I do he made a well thoughtout and measured response to the calling umpire. He was "probably" not an over-the-top "daddy" type responder.

I said a "certain amount" bravery. And I stand by that.

Tim knew both that as his position as an umpire he could be criticize (or even penalized) for speaking his mind.

The decision to not only confront the original issue but to also bring it here for dicussion showed a "certain amount" of bravery.

Don, after reading your posts for some time there isn't much we agree on . . . this is just another one of those issues.
