Me + Baseball = Rain

[Umpire in Chief]

This is one bizarre year. A ton of rain, then the rain went away for a while, but I got sick, even turned in one of my games. Now I'm back at about 50% and today I'm supposed to have a vendor take me to a game at the local AAA affiliate, and It's raining again. I cant even get to a game as a spectator If your in an area suffering from draught have my commissioner schedule me in your town, or hell even invite me to see a game in your local area. A few weeks ago I went to visit my mother and planned on seeing a game near where she lived and it rained then.

I'm supposed to have a game tonight, the second to last scholastic game on my schedule, but we'll see.

Do me a favor, stay out of NJ until December.

The ball season has not even started here in Canada. Teams are JUST getting out on the fields.

It will be 2 more weeks before we call PLAY!

So consider yourself lucky to have done some ball despite all the rainouts.

But I'm not bitter.

[Umpire in Chief]

Okay maybe I was being too pessimistic and I know I'm grumpy from being sick. We got the AAA game in, I left at the end of 6 to get back here to work, just a few sprinkles, hopefully it will hold out for my game tonight. I think a few good baseball games will be my cure.

Watch out Larry, I'll be passing through NJ once 7/13 & again 7/18 on my way back. Your weather forcast is rain...

I marked my calendar. I'm blocking those 2 days in Arbiter.

BTW I also got my game in yesterday, but working the game did not help me feel any better. I'm off today (baseball, not work I've only called out from work 1 time in 10 years) and plan on just going home and taking some PM meds a FCAB or 2 or three and watching my Orioles play the powerhouse of KC until I drift off.

Larry how did I do? But I must update those dates to 7/12 & 7/19. :D

7/12 was a beautiful day and I worked a summer college game and a LL-jr district championship.

7/19 was also a beautiful day, but my wife had control of my schedule and there was no baseball for me.

7/18, it poured in the morning, but I had nothing scheduled because of the real boss.

Ran into a little rain today, but not enough to stop the games. Thanks for leaving your storms at home.

Oh well that's the great thing about being a weatherman you can be wrong all you want with no accountability. If I were wrong in my day job or even forbid umpiring as much as weathermen I'd be out of work.

Hey all,

WAIT A MINUTE!! I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!!! Ok, not anymore I don't, but I used to be a weather forecaster when I was in the Air Force. There is a BIG difference in military and civilian forecasters. MOST civilians are/were guessers, military guys and gals aren't.

That being said, TV WEATHERMAN ARE THE WORST!!:rolleyes:

Bigdog:cool:

[Umpire in Chief]

No offense meant Bigdog. Like you I have a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to TV weathermen.

[Bigdog]

Hey all,

I especially like how they have things on their weather maps that are physically impossible.

Bigdog:cool:
