I really don't see how you can compare what the foul-mouthed, nasty-talking troll was posting, which were hateful, personal comments directed toward myself and others here, and the comments made about the buffoonery displayed by this clownish umpire. Yes, he has great enthusiasm, but he is billing his videos as "How to Umpire" videos, which they are most certainly not. If he were doing this tongue-in-cheek like Lance Cokalinski, then it would be funny on a much higher level. But this guy seriously thinks he's a great umpire, and that is what is being insulted, not his parentage or manhood or anything that remotely resembles what the troll was posting. I hope you get the point and see the huge difference. You don't miss Garth, but I'm really starting to.

Personally, I prefer "YOu're full of sh*t Earl, F*ck you." Umpiring at it's best.

Good points made SDS. There are differences in the disses towards the Expert Village umpire and from flowerchild.

I also like the videos on how to lay the verbal smackdown on people, and how to meet chicks at the store.

How about the dissing of Earl Weaver...that was different all together...

Since you are so opposed to "dissing", was it really necessary to "diss" someone who has been gone for over a year? Did it feel feel good to get a free cheap shot at someone who won't reply?

On the other hand, I found his insights on umpiring quite valuable. It really is a shame that he felt it necessary to leave. On the other hand, I don't miss fitump one bit.
