Yep. If we let that go, then we become "they".

Bad call.

Don't be so over dramatic. Bandaids over the ears are a blatantly obvious covering for earrings. I'm gonna take care of it so the next officials who work this kids games can't say I was "they". You do what you want and look the other way.

U: So, what is underneath that bandaid? An earring?
P: No, sir. I had an earring last game, hidden under a bandaid - slid into home and it hooked on the catcher's earring hidden under a bandaid, and both of them ripped out. The bandaid is covering my ripped earlobe.
U: Oh, ok. Um - what about the other ear?
P: Uh..... same thing happened 2 games ago?

That's your argument?

Like I said, you go ahead and look the other way. I guess that's how "they" roll down in Houston.

No, that was a funny. Go buy a sense of humor.

Exactly. The day I see someone tell me it is for anything else, then I'll consider the alternative. Until then, bandaids on the ears mean only one thing....the earrings need to come out or they do not play.
