If you don't see the problem some people would have with having their name mentioned as someone who may be purposely not calling a (supposed) illegal pitch, then I won't bother trying. Don't get me wrong, having spent some time with at least one of the crew members, I can almost guarantee he could give a rat's a$$ about what's said about him on an online forum.

I agree about the HS names though. If I were to start posting the name of every poor HS official I see, I'd quickly have more posts that IRISH.

You misunderstand my point. Whether you mention the names or not, once you mention the particular game you have identified the umpires. If you have an issue with calling out specific umpires, that seems fair enough but to achieve that you have to not mention the specific game because once you've done that you have identified the umpires in question.

To those of you that may not recognize the names, one is a multiple time D1 WCWS umpire. Not saying every one that has ever been there is someone I feel is completely on the top of our profession, but that one is one of them that I do.
