I so enjoyed the reading.

May I ask how it went down? Did you make the 8-10 minutes? Grz, Ros@

Hi, welcome.

I was the only Ump at a minor league game. After BR failed to reach 2nd base, and was called out, he bursted into tears and took the base with him...... 'I won't let you guys play with my daddy's stuff if you keep on playing nasty with me!' He shouted on his way to the dugout.

That's exactly what I meant when I stated, difficult to work with....... this I-pad refuses to correct my stupidities. But hé, a massage can come in handy as well.... .....or was the I-pad reading my mind?.....

Hi Stan W. Pc crushed, Laptop crushed as well.... bought an I-pad Mini to be able to keep in contact, but the damn thing is a bit diff to work with. I will try to make it up, but hey, You could have massage me.

I'm with Specks here..... you never know, no need to have to rush to the toilet in between innings.... He, all emoticons gone? Can't find them only the ; and the ) so I hope it works out like this!

I'm still waiting for the report on the 2nd game...... I ve only once asked my assignor not to put me on the same game with a particular umpire, but that's because he could not stick to the game. If he ump a game on sunday and there was a call which the coach was not happy with, he would start the next game of the team in question by reffering back to the incident. Reinforcing that his call was good cause he had afterwards talked to other umpires and they said his ruling was ok. The only problem was, to each umpire he asked for a second opinion, the situation he explained was different. Every time the story was 'slightly' . So as I didn't feel comfortable on the games with him, I requested to avoid putting us together on the games.

Can we get the link to laugh?

Boys, boys....... your palls (wifes) are the most easiest person to tame. Just treat them with respect, love and careing.... do WHATEVER you have been told to do...... EXACTLY the way she asked you to do it..... WHENEVER she asked you to do it.... THE EXACT MOMENT she asked you to do it ! That's the whole line-up right there. You all can manage a 9 inning game, double header, rainy weather... so WHAT the ....... is your problem with your spouses? oh, by the way, my boys (17 and 13) turned out to be nice couple of guys as well. I am just telling them both, be sure you have lot of women in your life, before you settle down. You need to know those creatures well beforehand.... whahahahahahaha....... But I'm a nice girl ;)

And the second one, is the other way around: Blue sleeves and yellow in the center.... It's all about who finances the uniform. We got the materials as a donation and to avoid a full blue and a full yellow one, they came up with this solution..... 2 years ago, we had full red shirts, cotton shirts.

That's a 'not so bad shirt'. If I knew how to post a picture here, you would have seen one of our shirts...... I will do my best to attached it.

Hi guys, Eventhough every ump has his style, we are requested to try to adhere as much as possible to the 'standard' way of calling games, in order to provide more 'uniformaty' (is this an english word). The 3rd strike however, you can see that almost every ump here has it's own unique 'foolish' way of calling it. Some more bizare than others.....

Bon Bini ! Meaning welcome.

It's like a movie, but say a movie has like 15 portrets to describe a situation, you pic like 5 out and have a less subtile version. I can not discribe it more efficiently, maybe you can search for one in youtube. Thanks for asking. Regards, Ros@

Dear all, For a project of my class, I will be needing a stop motion created in power point to show umpire skills. Could be anything as long as it has to do with teaching how to be a umpire. I really need this by YESTERDAY and my clock is ticking......... 7 hour, 58 minutes. I'm following a information management course and as an asignment I got this request, which is due in 7 hours, 46 minutes and ticking. I know what you all are thinking, I had something but when showing it to my teacher, turned out it she meant complete another thing with the assignment and now I'm running out of time......7 hours, 39 minutes...... So, whoever, whatever you can help me with, I'll be eternally gratefull to you (even for taking the time to read this post )! Awaiting your assistance in anyway, Greatfully yours, Ros@ P.S. 7 hours, 32 minutes and still ticking.......

Guys, Please advise best internet place to buy Umpire Pants & Shirts (aprox. 25 pants and 50 shirts). Thanks for your time. Ros@

Dear All, Help me out on this please as I have a question. CAN YOU NULLIFY or REVERSE A BALK? Killing me softly ..... please. :Horse:

I believe I do understand what cactus is trying to say/explain. When somebody argues on any judgement call, normaly you would give a warning first (at least I do so). It may be a wording or "the hand". Then on the second time this or any other person starts argueing on any judgement call, you toss the fellow out of th game because they did not respect the warning given! So you acctually toss them for disobeying the prior warning and not for arguing on the judgement call. The arguing on the judgement call led to the warning only . . Are we all here with me? Ros@

Welcome Bob ! A few hours left? .. Keep us posted.

Pardon me Umpire in Chief..... no compliments ever ??????????????? Think again.... twice if neccessary... and maybe even somhow harder??? I DID COMPLIMENT ON THE MOUSE OVER THING... I LIKE IT A LOT, IT HELPS ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN !!!! But Back to the OP, Welcome to the site and hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Regards to all of you guys, R@

The site was just updated. In the old version, a lot of the abbreviations were able to be moused-over, which would give you the definition of the abbreviation. Warren, is that possible with the new board? I'll find out. I didn't look for it before b/c while I never had any compliments about it, I did have a few complaints. In reading this thread I think I'll try to come up with something.

I found this post on "Buiding a Partner" interesting and have nominated it accordingly for "Post Of The Month December, 2010"
