... have any good, juicy, name-calling, flame-throwing threads like the baseball board does over such meaty issues as whether turning sideways on a third strike call is a bad habit, bad mechanics, or harmless personal preference?

I can't believe you'd bring up such a moronic topic :D

OH YEAH! Who ya calling a moron, putz?

About 2 month ago I went over & asked why they thought baseball was not using a double bag in the younger age brackets. One Dude then listed about a dozen reasons why Softball was such a crappy sport when compared to a "real" sport like baseball. If that is how they want to talk to we softball people..then I don't want to converse with them anymore. So I don't write them any further.

Now we're cooking! But, do try to say on topic, you idiots! http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...smilie/mad.gif ... http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung...pillepalle.gif

Why can't we all just get along? :(

Hey, don't call me that! Go umpire baseball, schmuk! ;)

This has got to be the most screwed up thread to date, and only a bunch of imbeciles like you would keep it going. :D

Hey jerks,

I umpire both. Funny thing is - most of the guys I work with don't know that, so I get to hear how stupid a sport softball is (and how unqualified the softball umpires are), and then also how backward and out-of-touch baseball is (and how conceited the baseball umpires are). Occasionally I'll make a baseball ump very uncomfortable by mentioning I'm the UIC for softball, when I've decided they've gone too far.

Jerks.

Both sports are screwed up. The defense has the ball all the time ????????

Are you trying to tell us that you go both ways??? :D

Basically we can't do it because we spend all our time cutting down idiot announcers and do not have time to dog out each other. Lets blame it on Michelle Smith: She wont care and even if she did she would be too stupid to realize it.

I am gonna be nice.....

You people [UMPIRES] are doing a w o n d e r f u l job.

Go jump on Softballnut or Sam.

How can this be? Their balls are smaller.

I'm having flashbacks to BBALLCOACH. You guys are making this poor ole Texas ( pronounced as "God's Country") country boy blush. Can't we all just get along?

Good one!
 

Thanks for that!
