I must say that I don't really like the job but considering I get paid to practically do nothing, I shouldn't complain. I just don't like the hours that I work. Come April, I will be umpiring ev ...

frog2, originally uploaded by Max Too. Saw this guy just hopping across our front yard last night. Where he came from, I have no idea!

I umpired many games in which Offerman played, and while he was never as serious a threat as he seems to be now, he was always difficult to deal with each night. It seems he has issues that ne ...

I'll keep it brief as I'm sure you know what I'm going to say: 1. I don't understand why you'd risk a poor reaction to a change in the way a game is run by not utilising all the technology available. 2.
