You ask who pays attention to stuff like cell phones. Do you not see the problem with making $37 and wearing a cell phone, then doing a lousy job. By the way, $37 is very good pay. I can't imagine anyone demanding $50 per game for 2 games at most 10 miles away from home. |

If you do not realize how stupid an umpire looks on a cell phone on the field, you have spoken volumes. I don't need to know anything more about your professionalism. Joe |

I get more grief working kids games than anything else and it's a lack of knowledge and decorum on the part of the coaches and parents 99% of the time. If I price myself out of that market, I have more time for golf and my daughter. And a coach can come on here and complain about the guy they get in my place. |

BTW, I have only ever taken a phone on the field/court when my wife was pregnant. I wouldn't do it otherwise, but that's because it's not right for me. I don't lean up against a fence or talk to my partners between every inning or....well, you get the picture. But I'm not about to stand and pass judgment over a guy I didn't see myself. I just find it ironic that a coach can do what the OP did and yet he's somehow on higher moral ground than the umpire. "You can't....you already called him safe!" Glee ensues. Pot. Kettle. Black. |

Joe, just curious. When you made the original post, what were you looking for? Information? Feedback on how to handle a situation? Reading your OP, I'm thinking of what I usually say to a coach at a basketball game who's keeping up a running chatter on the sideline: "Is there a question in there?"
|
Wow, I've been reading for awhile...what was the OP about?

They really outdid themselves, though. |
