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.

He's all up in that 4th dimension. A strong wind could have sent him up to the 5th. Very well done.

I was just going to move on and ignore this posting but the more i thought about it the madder I have become.

These umpires were selected to work at this tournament because they are some of the best in NCAA ball.

If one of you thinks you can work a game without a single hiccup like this picture shows, when being scrutinized at every angel than you are fooling yourself.

I had a game earlier this year that was televised and I was more nervous than I ever had been in my 23 rs of umpiring, for the very reason that I just stated.

Until you are there working the world series with these umpires I would suggest that you keep the sniping to yourself.

RANT OFF

So what exactly are you trying to say?

He hiccuped on national TV while being scrutinized by an angel?

Hey, don't complain, wade... what would you rather someone call you... the board jerk, or an angel?

outathm, chill, dude! My guess is the umpire in question also thinks he looks a bit ridiculous in this picture (and if he doesn't, he takes life way too seriously, IMO).

I think he is trying to say until you get out of working your rec/ ocassional JO ball that you should keep it to yourself. I also think you should let us all know when you have a game on TV so I can Take notes on you and let you know EVERYTHING you do wrong.... maybe I will type it so I dont have to kill the ENTIRE Amazon to make the pencils and paper I will need for that

Son, I doubt you have the skill set to evaluate me in removing wet socks.

But, you come on west, I'll let you blow dry my jock strap between games.
