The 18 Gold

[AtlBlue]

Well as usual, Elaine has taken a very nice conversation about speeding tickets and busted chairs and turned it into how bad umpires were, inferring that she could have done a better job the blues who where there. What she will not tell you is that the night she was at the Ball Park she was driven by the tournament coordinators to the eight different fields, ate with the very umpires she is trashing on this forum,and told numerous officials associated with the tournament what a fine job they were doing. I guess a lot can change from the ballpark to your computer Elaine.

Five years ago I made your acquantice at a local tournament at Murphy-Chandler. Your first words to me were, "Do you know who I am??" After learning it was my second year in Fastpitch, you then proceeded to tell me everything I was doing wrong (which a lot had changed since you retired) thank God a veteran umpire who knew you was there to set me straight. After three Men's Modified Nationals (2-Major 1-Ten Man),18U Gold three years ago and an NCAA Regional I'm glad I didn't know you then and after your postings on this forum, I glad I don't now.

I hope Metro Atlanta ASA returns the dues she so generously gave to "help with our numbers" with a little note saying we don't want/need members like you.
