2010 answer key
 

strike three looking..yall should be ashamed for even opening the thread..bad form,,next batter please

huh?

*scratches his head* I think we're supposed to stand corrected or something...

Been shoveling some serious snow a good portion of the day. If I'm to be corrected, it's gonna have to be sitting down!;)

Yeah, I heard you guys got socked pretty good. I've got a friend in D.C. who's got over 2 feet on the ground in one day. D.C. just can't handle that much snow.

Don't strain yourself, Mike! Spring season's just around the corner. :D

couple feet, no big deal. I like snow and prefer that to rain any time.

See, and I prefer rain. You don't need to shovel rain, and you don't have to worry about the weight of the rain caving your roof in. :D

I've lived in enough winter to last a lifetime.

Yet you can always dress up to snow and simply brush it away.

Then maybe you should move out toward Banner Elk and find a cave.

Been there, done that.

But rain? There's a wonderful invention called an umbrella, and I buy the biggest friggin' umbrella I can find! Yep, I'm that a-hole. :)

Nah, I'll stick to the Triangle area, thanks. ;)

I buy all my umbrellas at a golf shop, but even a 72" cover doesn't stop it all. Used to wear a floor-length duster and even that didn't keep everything dry.

Oh now this I've gotta see...

Snow?
I rememeber that.
Just finished the last HS pre-season tournament game.
First regular season JuCo game was Wed.

And that is why I hated living in Florida and will never live there again. Sports ARE seasonal and should stay that way.

A post titled "2010 Answer Key" could be...

- Somebody looking for the answer key, in which case he's probably going to get hammered hard by most posters here.

- Someone who has found an error in the answer key, which might be of interest to umpires taking the test.

- Someone reporting that someone else has posted the answer key somewhere, and that would likely generate a lively discussion.

But, instead we are accused of being cheaters with devious ulterior motives.

Let's see...how is it we treat a coach that questions our integrity? :rolleyes:

Yep. And the HS season starts February 1!

I'd rather put up with our 6' of rain each year -- although I can do without the hurricanes. :cool:

And when does it end? And league and travel ball start when? And fall ball starts when? And how many Halloween, Thanksgiving and holiday tournaments are there aside from the occasional friendlies and fundraisers between October and February?

Sorry, Bubba, I did say "sport" not just HS ball. Of course, it could be worse. You could live in some backward state that thinks softball is a fall sport. :rolleyes: ;)

Since I concentrate on softball, I'm glad to have games I could call about 10 months out of the year. Heck, I'll be glad to get back on the field for any fastpitch game! It's been too long!

To each his own I guess.
I understand the sentiment, but it is what it is and I am where I am...

(and sports aside... happy to not being out shoveling snow)!

:)

My shoveling is quite relaxing, minimal in effort yet provides great cardio and upper body workout.

BTW, Even if I were in FL or any other area with constant warm weather, I would still only work April to August, September at the latest.

Come on Mike, you've got the power to get anything changed. See if you can get HS softball to be played in the Fall in Delaware. Dave

Let me see, the HS entity in Delaware canceled the umpire clinic on Thursday, yet it wasn't scheduled until Monday night. You think I had anything good to say about those folks?

Hell, I'm still pissed we didn't have the regional ASA clinic in Manassas this past weekend!

Fall softball in DE would cause the loss of a fair amount of umpires because quite a few are also football officials and they are going to work the football before softball EVERY time. And then you have people who just prefer to watch or attend football games on the fall weekends who just wouldn't be bothered.

Unlike our backwards neighbors in Georgia :rolleyes:, we have school softball in the spring. First practice 1 Feb, first scrimage allowed 8 Feb, official play starts 8 March.


Most of the fall ASA tournaments can't start on Friday night like they do in the summer. From players who are also cheerleaders, to the players who just have to be there, to the coaches who want to watch--and, yes, the officials who are busy-- Softball starts at 8:00 AM Saturday.

Amen, Brother!

2 DII games, 4 JC games in the book last week.

I have worked 1 ASA tournament and UIC'd another in the past month.

I like sunshine and I like softball...If I feel like I need a break, I just don't provide availability for a weekend or two.

HS clinics are wrapping up, scrimmage games next week, real games the week after....

You mean like Georgia? :)

Damn I wish you hadn't done that, Randall. It is was clearly directed at me, to those on this board who know me and Mike as friends; I was intentionally ignoring it, and another Georgia blue steps in it .


Sheesh.....

Sorry
 

Just thought I'd save you the trouble of cleaning off your shoes!

It won't happen again! :)

I know that GA is one of the states, but I really didn't direct it at anyone in particular. Sorry, Steve, I hope you don't feel slighted.
