Well, what I think they were referring to was the fact that judging a person's language is highly subjective. It's easy to be consistent with a 1-and-1 count or accepting courtesy runners for injured players, but judging what's a potty mouth and what is acceptable is completely up to each and every umpire. I've had one player get ejected by another umpire for shouting "d@mn it" when popping up, whereas I might let it slide (though not without a friendly "warning," if one can call it that). New Yorkers may let "SOB" go, whereas those in NC may not. And if the two cultures mix (as is commonly the case in the Triangle area of NC), what then?

*shrugs* Unless leagues spell it out word for word, it's completely up to how an umpire's feeling that day.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
