Why in the name of (enter deity here) would a local UMPIRE association not support their umpires? OTOH, that would incite me to work more games and challenge their authority. Get those senior umpires back on the field and start dumping anyone who shows the slightest bit of disrespect or attempts to make any discussion personal. I have always stated that the worst word a player can use in a disagreement on an umpire's call is "you".

What is the association going to do?
