When I found out before the game the crew was Scott Thornley, Doug Shows, and Tony Greene, I made sure to get my popcorn, cold drinks, and my Raisinets so that I could "enjoy the show"!
I don't pay attention to who the officials are. I really couldn't care less. I definitely wouldn't know their tendencies.

I can see why you wouldn't be interested in the officials seeing that only 1/3 of the officials came from your third of the country.

The good old days.
Oh how I miss the good old days when the player (the fouler) had to raise his hand above his head, .

P.S. Duke goes down in flames, . Time for me to get to bed, the "diamond" season starts tomorrow. I have a girls' VAR softball game tomorrow afternoon and Mark, Jr., and I are together for a boys' JV baseball game on Thursday afternoon, so I have to get my "beauty" sleep.

On one call, Thornley never raised his fist, but just pointed at the player as he ran from C to the table. The only thing missing was him yelling, "He did it! He did it!"

Sorry, just not a fan of that type of theatrics.

That was the play that got me to post. It looked horrible to me watching as an official. As a fan, it was pure comedy.

I also saw a bunch of pointing at who the ball went off of OOB BEFORE signaling the direction the ball will be going.

Looks awful for one.

Looks like you changed direction as well.
