It's called an intentional exaggeration no different from your "all the time" comment.

There is a big difference between being called "all the time" in relationship to games and "being called every time." But then again, you said it was "never" called as you suggested by claiming that it was not called in over 10 years. I watched a game recently and I saw 5 travel calls in the first quarter. And traveling was called on some superstars in the process.

The fact that my entire post began with the shiny new nickel offer should have told even the average 6th grader what the point of the post was to begin with. I'm sorry it went right over your head, although I did find your own rash generalizations rather amusing.

Nothing went over my head. You just made a statement which was simply not true and were challenged on it. Then you had no answer for the challenge and now want to make it as if I missed your point. The point is you did not know what you were talking about and did not have an answer. It was a horrible comparison and why baseball loses fans of many demographics because they try to be so "elitist" to other sports, while never evolving in their way of thinking. Hey, it does not matter to me; I am not vested in a league that has the worst ratings for their major events in the sporting world.

Your assignment is to look up the meaning of the word "exaggeration" and its common uses. Of course, I don't see you criticizing yourself for doing the same thing with comments like "all the time," despite totally contradicting yourself a few posts later.

For someone allegedly not vested in a such a league, you sure do spend a lot of time in the baseball section trying to correct umpires making posts designed to emphasize the absurdity of something. Perhaps you ought to stick to the other sports that you officiate if you're going to always be so critical of baseball.

Thank you. I had no idea what I was saying.

Have you really looked at the vast gaps in my responses or participation on this particular site?

Actually I will respond when I choose to. I do not care if and when you respond to this site, nor try to keep track. Get over yourself, you are not the only person that can comment on the baseball board because you claim to know pro umpires.

I thought as much.

Just where the hell does that come in here? I didn't allude to that because it's not relevant to the discussion at hand.
