*Twitch* BUT THE BASES WERE DIRTYYYY.

*Twitch* BUT THE BASES WERE DIRTYYYY.

[grayhawk]

Dirty bases are the purest form of the game.  It's democratic and American to have dirty bases.  Dirty bases are the engine that drives the world economy.  If there were no dirty bases, then the fabric of society would rip apart.  Cleaning the bases will certainly bring the apocalypse.  Bringing a plate brush onto the field when working the bases means you don't like puppies.  Just don't do it.

I'm sorry if that offends you, Jeff. THEY WERE DIRTY. I HAD TO DO SOMETHING. At least I wasn't using an actual brush.

I don't like puppies. And I'm Libetarian. And Polish. So there. I'm immune.

Congrats on a great experience......

offended????????????  please....

 

you're an umpire, not a groundskeeper

[Rulekeep]

I wasn't grooming the field or anything major. It's just that those boys stomp out their cleats ON THE BASE and it made me really uncomfortable. Bases are supposed to be white.

Every time you brush the bases, 1 million acres of Alaska wilderness is annexed by the "gubment."

If the players don't mind, you shouldn't mind.

 

If the players mind, they can clean them off.

@grayhawk I couldn't give a damn about Alaska if there was a gun to my head.

The title of this thread is "I'm working HS now and I brush bases off JUST to annoy every. Other. User. On U-E."

[grayhawk]

If you brush the bases again, then Tumblr will go offline - FOREVER!

[Rulekeep]

I've been weaned off Tumblr because of crappy school. You'll never convince me.

[grayhawk]

Greg Gibson hates umpires that brush the bases.

Wrong. Funny, you should know the title because it's your thread, but .... it's "I've moved up a step on the ladder"

Well, you won't anymore if evaluators keep seeing you do this.

 

It's funny, you're 14, and you won't take advice from others with WAY more experience than you, and WAY older .... I don't get it.

[Rulekeep]

I'VE SEEN HIM BRUSH BASES HIMSELF THOUGH.

I think that's Donald Sterling's position on the issue.

 

Too soon?

[Thunderheads]

I already am. *Salute*

.....having fun .....sure .........

[BigUmpire]

Keep brushing the bases!

It drives the purists here CRAZY!

Post pictures of you doing it.

PM me and I will send you a special brush to do this.

It's the nature of the age. 14/15 year olds know EVERYthing. I had two of my own AND I coached quite a few AND I taught high school for four years. Trust me. It's just the age. No matter what the intelligence/lack of intelligence level or the seemingly normal or above normal maturity of the kid. They just do not like to take advice.

So true.  I have a 16 year old daughter and there are signs that she is coming out of the Twilight Zone, but we're not there yet.  I am hopeful.

 

Oh, and she considers herself to be punkrock too.

I seem to remember you thought I was 12, so...

 

And tell your daughter she's great and should never stop being punk.
