Which is exactly why I tell my assignor, "I'll call whatever you put in front of me."

Oh, of course! There are some low-level teams in our area that are notorious for giving lesser-qualified umpires a harder time, and a stronger umpire should go to those games. My statement about JuCo is general in nature. Exceptions will always exist.

However... If this had happened in D1, I'm sure it wouldn't be just in local papers like what happened in this incident. It'd probably make it all the way to ESPN. Thus, as an assignor, you want to minimize the likelihood of that happening by putting your better umpires on those games.

Say what you want about JUCO, but Crystal Bustos was a JUCO player before she was on the national team. A lot of these players are DI players that are 'clearing house ineligible'.

On the other half of this thread, I am in PA right now and I made sure I bought enough beer for the weekend before I crossed the state line. Almost blew out my shocks, but the rest of it fit in the trailer.

I'm surprised that the media actually researched and got the rule right.

My money is on that it was fed to them and little, if any, additional research was conducted.

I'm still figuring out if she would be a Pinhead or Patriot!!
Probablly she'd get the Patriot award since O'Reilly could never agree with Olbermann...

And either way, I'm sorry, but that crew gets my Pinhead award....

Hey now!

I'll end this debate by saying: they ALL suck. Every one of 'em. They all suck.

Now, back to the OP...
