Would have, except I only had 9 umpires for three diamonds, so I had to call up a replacement and get the replacement umpire there so the rest of the tourney was covered.

Then when I asked this umpire to take the ties out, this umpire called me an *** in front of a bunch of fans (and 10 year old kids).

Needless to say, the umpire finished the game and then went home.

I think I'd have sent her home immediately. I'd rather have one game with a 2-man crew than this kind of irresponsibility and irreverance out there.

This happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Names have been changed to protect the guilty, but it's a true story.

12u non-championship play. Birds are playing the Fish. Fred is on the bases. Fred's been umpiring a long time, but not girls fastpitch. It's Saturday and teams are gonna be moving into bracket play on Sunday. This pool is already set. Birds are visitors. Fish decide to let this girl pitch who hasn't pitched in a game all year. Fish pitcher has trouble throwing strikes, and her strikes are hit into the gap.

Birds score 8 runs. Birds batter, Penelope, gets on base. She's never stolen a base in her life. First pitch, she's off and steals second. All grins, everyone on the team cheering for her.

"This is a bunch of spit," Fred says under his breath as he cleans off the base. "You don't do that in a game like this. Just flippin ridiculous."

Unfortunately, Penelope heard every word. Her smiles and laughter have turned to crying. Coach has to call time to go talk to his player. Big brouhaha, of course. Only one ejection resulted, and that was the ejection of Fred.

Oh, by the way, score ended up Birds winning 12-11.
