That's why it is hard to get your point across in writing...when I first replied "NO" to your earlier comment, I was referring to your line about backing up your bretheren no matter what...

I also only wanted to point out who the ump in question was as well...

Yep, Mike is a good guy and I thought he did a great AAA all-star game as well.
