  1. We are taught to do this during an IFF, the PU points up "IFF batter is out" correspondingly the BU Points up also, i guess we both get it wrong. I believe 11.03g is "shut up and go away"
  2. Chain Saw - cutting wood, hit a nail/spike in the wood, it kicked, hit me in the top of the hand and destroyed the middle finger, only cut the 2 on either side of it. I've had pain related injuries before, and let me tell you, the finger is the worst. The wors part is I really cant flip anyone off left handed.
  3. As I stated above; we were going on vacation. We were looking forward to the next 6 days in Cape May NJ. I spent that time either on the sand or at the pool, thinking about going back to active duty. My second child was just born that May, I had a really good job and it was difficult explaining it to my wife. Finally- I told her I would wait. Well I waited, in November I started all the initial paperwork and was scheduled to have a meeting at Fort Dix in December to sign all the final papers. The night prior I lost a finger on my hand and that disqualified me. This morning I was walking to the office, past the site and through zucotti park (home of the occupy movement) and past Trinity Church - where I was called a F*^%$& As*&^% - by some dirty long hair youth- his bravery was most likely due to his 3 friends standing next to him. I wanted to administer some wall to wall justice, or in this case wrought iron fence to sidewalk justice, but thought better of it. They have no idea of the freedoms they enjoy and what the cost of modern dentistry is. Sorry had to vent.
  4. I was starting vacation, I was up packing the car, had the news on while doing so. My office at that time overlooked lower Manhatten. Im an IT guy and worked for Cantor for 2 years on the 104th floor, I still have my id card. Lost many friends that day, my mothers neighbor son was lost, 3 people from my town - such a waste of life by a bunch of 3rd and 4th world savages. I take the train into Manhatten every day and walk by the site both to and from my office, I think about it everyday.
  5. eject em all, let God sort em out.
  6. makes me want to go call the game from the stands. evidently better angle there.
  7. Is that the "salad bar" crew?
  8. to the Elderly gentleman - "its even worse when parents or grandparents think they know it." followed up with a headbut.
  9. Use Anti-Monkey butt powder
  10. a just result would have been the league paying for any medical expenses.
  11. Wonder why they didnt get anything from the ball manufacturer. Renegade, Canada, AKA "the luckiest country in the world" also has its share of crazy lawsuits. So in that regard we are not alone.
  12. If he did anything that woudl normally cause ejection or restriction, I would have restricted him to the bench and if he left for reasons other than the bathroom or injury that team would lose.
  13. 1. "yep coach you told me about the sub, however he is an illegal sub" 2. "Your gone......Bammmmmm"
  14. "You shouldnt worry about me, worry about coaching, plenty there to keep you busy"
  15. In NJ it's the same as hitting a cop/fireman.
  16. Trout is correct.
  17. Never attribute to malice that which rightfully shoud be attributed to stupidity.
  18. "with ordinary effort" read that statement. it doesnt say with ordinary effort for a little leaguer, high schooler or pro. I think we shouldnt debate talent skill etc.. when judging this. Are we better off calling it? not calling it? It's open to too much judgement, our job i know. But if it drops and they turn 2 your in trouble. if the other team is out in the field and the same hit happens and you make the opoposite call your going to get killed and have a bad situation happen. What if the infielder is in a bad position? Or on the grass for a bunt, under coaches orders? how do you judge ordinary effort when umping a highly skilled travel team of 12 year olds and then a Rec team of 12 year olds? What if a coach taught his team to make it look hard and go for the double play? Call it. They can't argue it. Mudder your BU the PU makes the call you support it, Rat out the PU in this sit. hehehehe
  19. The runner establishes his base path, if he slid and had to move to touch the bag they way you described either he left his path, the field moved when he was running or the bag moved when he was running. HTBT but probably out.

    BOO

    Sounds good to me Dix
  21. Looks like Utrip utilizes the same Slide rule as FED - I read it quiickly - Must slide or avoid - so all slides must be legal. Where he is is your judgement. Whenever a tag play is evident, a runner must slide or seek to avoid contact with the fielder and / or catcher. Attempting to jump, leap, or dive over the fielder and / or catcher is not interpreted as seeking to avoid contact. Malicious contact shall supersede all obstruction penalties. Rule 8.04.C Penalty: The runner shall be called out and may be ejected from the game at the umpire’s discretion. Rule 8.04.C Comment: When enforcing this rule, the umpire should judge the runner’s intent. If the umpire feels that the contact was unintentional, then the runner should only be declared out. If the umpire
  22. la mismo miedra differente dia. or however you spell it all.
  23. I had a Spanish Gentleman call me the "n" word word during a game. I ran him, the whole team went nuts, they made all kinds of excuses for it being ok to use that word.
