just wanted to tell y'all the comment my wife made about this link... DONT WEAR PLEATED PANTS!! ever...I did try to stand up for y'all and explain the economics of buying non-pleated pants once a guy owns 400 pairs of pleated ones... she said NO, spend the 40 bucks or live with the knowledge that every woman at the ball park is critique'ing you not only on your poor ball calling ability, but your choice of wardrobe! sigh! why did i ever marry a girls fastpitch coach? maybe our (male umpires) choice of pants is why so many people yell at us during a game? i dunno... just my 2 cents "lol"

Honestly, I rarely call tourneys anymore (for the above reason). I'm content drudging it out in the rec leagues for now. Heck, I make more in the rec leagues than what they pay us in some tourneys!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

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

It took 13 hours to complete 4 games? or you had to wait around for 13 hours to call 4 games? heck, wait it out tween games at the local bar.... makes time go much faster.

My lawyer isn't good enough to bail me out of THAT kind of situation.

Do you really need anyone to tell you what is wrong with that statement?
