  1. zm1283 is solid. I'm looking to unload some stuff. I'll post to the buy sell trade thread soon. I've got a Wilson shock 2.0 HSM that I wore about 3 times and a few CPs -WVP, Champion, Schutt Air-Flex and Douglas that Ill post pics of after I get the 12 feet of snow off my roof.
  2. I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention....
  3. Can anyone tell me what's the point of camo? Or pink, for that matter. All it does is bring unwanted attention.
  4. The Mods aren't locking this up because they want to see how absurd it can get.
  5. Why didn't your partner know it was foul? Surely you announced it loudly enough for the outfielders to hear. If there's any rookie mistake that led to this, it's the fact that you weren't forcefully enough in declaring the ball foul. My
  6. Get the BRD

    Balk Rule

    How would you know?
  8. I also think that the lack of criticism Wilson is receiving speaks to the fact that most people don't consider him an elite quarterback. What elite QB doesn't catch the blame for a play like that?
  9. Wilson may be an athlete but working for the Seahawks is his job and he has to listen to his boss. Yes? This may make perfect sense to you, for a variety of reasons that I could get into, but won't, but yes, if the coach told him to throw an interception. Yes.
  10. Whilst everyone is burying Pete Carroll, everyone is aware that Wilson actually, yo know, threw the pass. Yes?

    Douglas

    Better than my experience with them. Much better
  12. I've got a 12" Douglas that I just had refurbished by Douglas (the pricks - i think I paid $50 for the CP on Craigslist and Douglas charged me $215 after quoting me $100 or $110 - I forget). I'd be interested in a swap. I'll post pics when I get home. I had the pads swapped out, replaced the plastic clips with t-hooks and had caps added to the shoulder gaps.
  13. WHY ????? Because Jax only umpires games where pitchers throw 110 MPH and Hitters mash ball 600 feet.
  14. Well there you have it. Perfectly reasonable. Bahahahahahahahahaha

    Missed base on HR

    That runner has got to miss first by a damn mile if I'm going to make that call. If it's just me and the first base coach, there's no way I take the run off the board.

    Missed base on HR

    This is an important rule to know. Just not in this situation.
  17. Well, I see some good points on both sides of this interesting debate, but this argument, frankly, is pretty thin. For one, a bikini is customary and accepted attire at a beach or pool. You wouldn't be in trouble for dropping your pants if you had your trunks on either. But a bikini isn't underwear - it may resemble it, it may be even be MORE revealing than a panty. But it's not a panty. Try standing around at your community pool in your boxers or underwear. It probably won't end well. You're kidding me.... You're making the "appropriate for the environment" argument. been to Wal-Mart lately? Would somebody PLEASE (@MidamUmp) post a link to a court case that has found a sports official guilty of open and gross lewdness, indecent exposure, etc? I find it hard to believe that absent some serious malfeasance, an official would ever have to "register as a sex offender". This is the ONLY article I could find via Google (granted I looked for about 5 minutes) that addresses (get it?) the issue. http://www.oakpark.com/News/Articles/4-30-2013/Neighbors-cry-foul-over-OPRF-umpires%27-costume-change/
  18. @JaxRolo - I'm sure that the Officals Locker Room works great during the game, but what about before?
  19. @MidAmUmp has me afraid to leave the house!
  20. I go away for a few months and I come back to this? 😷
  21. @gnhbua93 probably bought it all already.
  22. If I allow it, it's legal. And I'm allowing it. Enforcing this would be akin to, say, making a catcher remove a stud in his tongue
  23. What's the upside of enforcing this? Exactly.
  24. I want to know where his partner was. There's NO WAY a coach should be able to pull a referee's jersey over his head. The rodeo clown concept applies in hockey just as it does in baseball. And yes, in MA, on-ice officials are required to stay on the ice until all participants have left the surface.
