no kidding... you'd think umpires would be thicker skinned... heck all y'all just need to move to Louisiana... the sun shines 24 hours a day, the grass is greener, the food is the BEST. And we could always use more "good" umpires.

The only argument you pose that is hard to refute!

Will you make up your mind? You make a pitch for them to come to LA (and BTW it isn't the GREEN grass that is the draw) and then you disqualify some of them.

If sun shines 24 hours a day, why was the Sulphur all but cancelled?

And I do know some good La. umpires. Ya'll got Wayne.

The sun DOES shine 24 hours a day. That is irrefutable. Just 'cuz it ain't shining on you, doesn't mean it isn't shining.

Grass being greener and food being the best are subjective opinions. Probably formulated from walking on other peoples' lawns and sampling various all ya can eat buffets.

Of course you need more umpires you have only had firstpitch softball since the early 90's. I went to LSU, I had been umpiring fastpitch in Socal since I was 15. My first year their no fastpitch, but I was told I should come back the following year. So I did, I was 20 and had four years more experience than people 2 and 3 times older.
