Well, that just makes you a JV umpire then, doesn't it? Do your job.

So what? I mean, they have to put with your umpiring, right? You're getting paid for the days worth of work, no matter the smoothness, or skill level, right? If this is beneath you, don't work youth ball at all. But don't complain about it, then walk off the field.

I know some guys here have called you an arrogant dick (oh, they didn't. My bad), but you have to see their point of view. Most of us have had kids playing at the level, and would appriciate your attitude toward them, or the game.
