I do not remember if it was here or another forum, but someone posted a time when after a coach drew a line in the dirt the umpire drew an arrow to the parking lot, and the coach to follow it.

That is one of those things I would love to do to a coach, but fear that it might appear over line (really no pun intended) and arrogant.

I would also love the chance to sit in the stands with my gear on. Plop down next to a mouthy fan, and say play ball. Then when I start to get odd looks say, "Well obviously this is the best place in the park to call balls an strikes from."

But to get back to the question at hand, most any time a player/coach begins or ends a sentence with the magic word... you.

I believe, but I'm not for certain, that the gentleman in question was our own Brian Curtain. And yes, I do know I'm a poet.

Nah that wasn't me, but I did have a guy draw a line in the dirt and dumped him before he even finished drawing. I might have recited the above story at some point, though.

edit: Tee and SDS already covered this...I should start reading threads all the way through haha.

Had a young man draw a line on me once. I took off my mask and looked at the line and said, "Hey, you draw real nice!" I wind up " Now lets see if you can follow directions!" and give 'em the hook!



Some umpires aspire to be
as good an umpire as Tim C.
While other umpires really believe
themselves as good as San Diego Steve.
One or two look up to Dash
who works the plate with a noticeable flash.
And then there is Ump or Coach or JM just plain
who can't make up his mind, his title or his name.
Richard in the wings with Ives on the hook
Mbyron dealing an ejection by the book.
Pete Booth writing articles galore
Greymule showing a manager the "door".
And here I sit still on the DL
Ozzy resting in baseball hell!

Steve,

Interesting. I was going to suggest he "down" the meds.

Nonetheless, ....

Ozzy,

I thought it was beautiful.

You're not in umpire hell, it's more like purgatory.

Get well soon.

Maybe we need to hook him up with Mark Padgett over in the basketball area. HIs meds are legendary.
