My journal entry really had nothing too important to mention.

Standard “first game of the year” on the stick. (Timing just a shade faster than Ed Montegue for the first two innings.)

Did have a slide and tag play at the dish – gone to my “casual” out sign no matter how close the play.

The clock is ticking and I hope to get may three or four more games in before calling it a career.

And “no”, I will not miss it at all.

Tee Congrats but instead of calling it a career how about evaluating other umpires or mentoring them.

Do not know about your area, but evaluating and mentoring seem to be a thing of the past.

Hey TEE you can also start up a new web-site and perhaps bring back Strikes / Outs which were good reading. You know how people like your personality on the internet.
