Scott,

I can read it. I even thought I understood it, but appareantly not. OTOH, What do I know about softball and the rules.

I'm done with this one.

This one?

Yes, that one
 

Nice job, SRW. I will put in a good word with the UIC on your behalf

Re: Yes, that one
 

Good. Thank you. Make sure you find out which rules he wants me to enforce, too.



;)

Re: Re: Yes, that one
 

I think next year we are going to focus on abstraction.

You know, I find it kind of odd that a post that was begun as a joke amongst friends has turned into not only one of the longest, but oldest active threads on this board.

Go figure!

I hear you.

Buncha killjoys (j/k)

Scott, you're right in your previous post. It did have a rather innocent beginning...

NOOOOOOOO Don't kill this thread. I am now hooked. I have to log on as soon as I come home every evening just to see what has been written. Pleaseeee. This is Jerry Springer for umps.

Scott, I am not calling in McKinney this weekend, but will have a booth set up at the main complex to sell stuff. Stop by and say hi.

I will be in So Cal next weekend for the Bat Busters college look. Anybody else be there? Find me and say hello

rules du jour
 

DNT, Please let us know which rules they/umps are told to follow at THAT showcase, rules du jour, that is just too funny!! Let us know, too, how many hoppers/leapers are there, which states are the biggest offenders, & how many college coaches actually want a hopper so they can spend countless hours trying to break them of the bad habit! It'll be interesting, thanks!

Well, noob, since you have contributed nothing of substance to this thread for quite awhile (and that is giving you tremendous benefit of the doubt), here is the first ever award of the

I know you've already had a similar award, but now it is official!

Congratulations!

I am assuming, by the term "main complex," you are referring to CR. I will be down the road a ways at Community with TH and JB of NMUA. If I get out at a decent hour on Saturday, I will swing by.

How to Stop????
 

Hi,

I am trying to stop the automatic receipt of e-mails concerning this inane thread. I have changed my profile regarding this option but the e-mails still keep coming. I have tried to contact an administrator (at [email protected]) but my messages bounce back. How do I stop the e-mails??

As an aside, I registered at this site with the hope of learning more about softball rules. I did not expect it to be overtaken by a group of individuals who only want to see their messages "in print", messages devoid of information or insight. I am surprised by the juvenile responses. I have seen juvenile umpires before - I just didn't anticipate that so many would be using this site.

Some threads are just for fun. There is quite a bit of useful information in this thread, but a lot of it is just needling the troll, so if you consider that inane, fine (you're right, BTW, but just an observation... try lightening up... it's way more fun) ;)

How to de-register??
 

I had turned off the e-mail notification in my profile, and I in my message I just sent. It hasn't stopped the e-mails.

How do I de-register?
