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.

I have NEVER considered that 'backasswards' I am reading UP...

and every time I try one of those so-called 'correct' indicators, I get so f%^%% up, I RUN for my old reliable 'normal' indicator....

And I have always equated 'no balls' with 'hit her in the box!' - for the first I just raise the the fingers on the right and go 'Two strikes" loudly and authoritatively. For the second its 'dead ball - hit her there!' - while pointing....
