SJA

Find a local LL . They SHOULD give you the patches for FREE or call Williamsport and THEY SHOULD send them to you for FREE NO CHARGES! SJA :-)

Kyle wasn't taking into consideration of the angle of a flat dangle nor the kanoute of the root x the horizontal whacker madoodle . . . some people just don't learn everyday stuff . . . GEEZ!! ;-)

If anyone orders these shirts with numbers on them, they are the "VARSITY 4" BIG ONES: http://www.gerrydavis.com/mm5/category/Umpire_Shirts/product/00-SH600 :-?

. . . they call "criteria and nominating" . . . politics. :-(

100% :-)

Don't you ever believe that statement! SJA :-(

Apparently, according to my UIC, there was also a HFS prior to this one a few games ago that was uncalled and nobody said a word about it.

To ADMIN: I don't usually get into this personal / personality conflict stuff, BUT, after so many "Millerforrest posts", why is he still here???? SJA

Anyone watching the Washington / SF game right now? . . . if so, what did you see happen in the bottom of the third????? . . . deja vu?? . . . but with an 0-1 count! ?

Jax, FWIW, I've worn these for two seasons now and find them supportive and comfortable. @(UA): Ever-Safe Umpire/Referee Socks - Over-the-Calf :-)

. . . but as we're all reminded throughout the LLWS, "they're all VOLUNTEER umpires and THEY pay their own way to do this." :-(

I thought the batter was pulling back to avoid being hit when I saw it. Yeah, that's what I meant when I said "announcers comment hands are on the bat" . . . and they still got it wrong! . . . swung at, foul ball, count should have been k1. TKS :-)

!! :-)

On now, TX vs ILL. Pitch hits batters hands, announcers comment hands are on the bat, ball goes foul, PU doesn't know what to call, TX MGR comes out and they go to the "fence" for ruling. THEY call no pitch and a "do over" . . . batter stays with no count. Somebody please tell me I blinked, or I need new glasses, or a hearing aid! SJA!

. . . or Andouille Sausage :-)

The best "song" I can think of for Umps is: "Right Place, Wrong Time" by Dr. John :-)

Scary . . . ain't it! ;-)

You got that right! . . . better than 100 monkeys on banana juice!! . . . PS, the announcers need to shut the he// up about commenting on their "knowledge" of the rules!! :-/

I didn't cancel my order . . . I made mine last Wed? . . . when I saw your post I called them and because they had not sent me an order confirmation email, even though they shipped, I explained that I wanted the "new price" as of today. . . . no problem at all. Refund to my order was as above. Good company to deal with I think. SJA :-)

Thanks Rennolds! . . . you just saved me $22.50 in refunds! SJA :-)))

Darn sure wouldn't be allowed or happen in my game in LL under 1.11(k)! :-)

I think it showed the "fun / human" side of AN UMPIRE rather the "stone cold hard SOB side" of what many people think umps are. SJA :-)
