The hazards of One-Man

[baldgriff]

Hey guys....... I just thought I would post this scenario as it happened. Did I learn anything? Yes, stuff happens and there are variables out there you just never expect. I also learned this, it was the only time I have made that call in 15+ years of doing games. I learned that even someone with a great deal of experience is going to get screened, and while everyone in the whole world could see it I didnt.

I also learned that apparently there is some history here between other posters that I was unaware of..................

Have a great day

WHEW! I am soooo glad that I'm not the only one that feels a cold chill running through the room from time to time. I'm also relieved to know that I'm not the only one that has not freakin' clue why certain people are pissed at other certain people. Maybe I need to get a new filter . . .

Actually, no history at all which is what makes it strange.

So then whats the problem mike?

I was goofin on you with the SP comments, which I've always done.. Ive told you on a few occassions that the biggest problem a SP umpire has is making sure the play doesnt cause you to drop your hot dog and you always took it properly.. this time I got the whole "I dont know if I'd want you on the field.. you have disdain for this game" BS.. during the season I live and breath this stuff, including goofing around on this MB .. so there is obviously no disdain.

Just because I goof on SP, SP isnt really my game - doesnt mean anything.. I'm working it this year because I'll be scheduling it and teaching it next year so I need to know it.. doesnt mean I need to love it.. know what I mean vern?

You jumped to BS Conclusions and expected me to roll over, then did the troll crap and the smell crap.. So yeah I turn a little harsh.

Well for what its worth, and no I'm not apologizing because I give a crap if you go whining to Matt - I greatly respect your knowledge, learned a lot from you, and do apoligize if I'm seemed a little over-the top.

I dont want to have a war on this board but am somehow trapped into one.. so hopefully it can go away.. but if not, and apoligies are not acceptend, then I'll continue to defend myself, with plenty of offense mixed into that defense.

Please refresh my failing memory and point me to that thread, Wade. Not sure I remember that, and I might learn from it, as well; not that often both Mike and WMB are both wrong.

I'll have to dig it up.. shoulda framed it

I'll have two Mike's heads on my mantle if he dares to try to support his position on the "slow call" thread on ezteams

(dont be offended by that mike, just goofin around).

Again to anyone I've offended, I'll try to tone it down .. no big deal.. I'm sure if we were on the field we'd work together great - sometimes the written post comes off harsher than it was intended.
