I will talk to them when given a chance and will hear them say "Well I don't enforce those nit picky rules".

I try not to work with that person again.
"nit picky rules" ............ one more reason umpires in general get bad raps......

Thank you for hitting my pet peeve. Umpires that refuse to enforce the rules and make it harder on me for doing so.

Yes. I dislike it when the, "none of the others make us do that...." card gets played.



Oh and how many of you get the "it's a vicinity play" thrown at ya??

My biggest pet peeve: People that don't know the difference between "their", "there" and "they're".

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.

Strike Zone
In SP, hearing the coach or pitcher say, They really need to chalk that line in front of the batter's box, so Blue knows where the Strike Zone is!

Blue, that was a foot behind the line!

Inside, I snicker...
