A little Rant

Sam06
I am a baseball umpire and I have a little rant so here goes. I have been relativly conflict free all year I have done about 50 games so far this season. Well last night I was suposed to have have a double header of 13 year old babe ruth kids. well i get a phone call saying no go do a 12 year old little league game then go to the babe ruth game. No problem Ill make 40 bucks compared to 37 and Id rather do the younger kids "I sound like michael jackson there". Well I get there and the coaches tell me this is for second place in the league its both teams last game before the play offs. so its a close game and it ends up in extra innings tied at 3. well at the start of extra innings I look in the field teams dug out and the coaches are chirping about somthing pointing at the score books. well the kid at bat walks then the coach walks out and say we have a problem they batted out of order. I look at the book and they did. the batting coach didnt inform the defensive coach that he put his starters back in. So I have to call the kid out Did I want to no should he have been out no but the coach insisted that he be put out. Well the next 2 kids strike out and another walks. the next kid hits a dinger to the fence scoring a run. the home team gets up and the first 2 kids strike out. Im like this is good bad karma coming back to bite his team in the ass. well after 2 walks and runners on 2nd and third the next kid hits a dinger to the fence scoring 2 runs and the games over. the coaches started yelling at each other and i got out of dodge and go to the next game. the next game involved me and another gentleman that knows his stuff sp im like this will be easy. first inning the home team is at bat and the visiting pitcher cant find the strike zone so its the plate umps fault. well the kid is arguing under his breath and finally the other ump warns him and the coach. after that the whole team got a warning for being un sportsman like. the rest of the game the coach was saying were not going to get any close calles so dont bother. ya think they would get any calls after arguing and carrying on like idiots for 2 innings.They had 9 players so if someone gets tossed the game is over. next inning a kid bunts a ball that bounced off the ground and makes it to first, the coach goes nuts saying that should have been a dead ball. which it is not but he tried to tell us it was. well we listened to his little tirad cuz it was the last inning and didnt send him home packing. his team lost 19-5 so we thought that was bad enough. all in all i was 87 bucks richer and had a good time last night. the thing I dont get is how they get coaches who know nothing about baseball to coach. I have to take tests to ump why cant coaches take the same test[:(!]

    I am so sick and tired of these British and Canadian TV and Radio people telling Americans what to do.

    WTH do they have them on? The last thing I want to here is some Pomies voice lecturing me on the Constitution or the Economy.

    Piers Morgan go rain on yourself...............

    Rant over carry on.





    BTW




    We kicked your sorry ass out of this country why are you here you little fairy.

    Now I am calm......................

    It is just as sickening to listen to the likes of PBS, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, or ABC and you do not have to go to Canada to do so.

    I'm used to the term Poms and Pomies, but you don't hear it here very often. Or I don't anyway

    I worked with the AUS SAS and they are not real big on the Brits, that is where I learned the term and it fits them like a glove.

    Over the years I have heard people from Great Britain whining about our evil gun ridden society and we are all blood thirsty killers. Well I guess it ok to lockup people in towers and dungeons and torture, starve and behead them.

    Jose.
