Over 40 ball?

He red you ever miss a call?   I say nope, the play didn't develop to my call.

I never got the fun ones.  It was more (at a little league game of 10-12'yearolds):

Oh JESUS CHRIST!  What the HELL were you looking at?  That ball was CLEARLY HIGH.  STRIKE?  Are you FUCKING kidding me?  Who's paying you? Have you lost your mind?  OUT? OUT? Look at the GODDAM play next time you jackass."  And then grandpa would tell grandma to settle down.

Hey Ump, I thought only horses slept standing up.

Hey ump! You should have made that call on your knees because you blew it!

We have been lucky here where I live. We developed a Dizzy dean park here in the community that does not allow that type of behavior. You can give the ump a hard time. But the first sign of foul language, you are gone. And that will be from the park officials and the fans. If you disparage a player directly, you will be asked to leave.
It makes for a competitive league and a fairly respectable one. We have folks move in and start with the trash. It only takes about one game to set them straight.

I grew up in P'ville where the daddy and the sons would wait for the ump after the game. That shit sickens me.

I like to think of myself more of a "Mary Ann".

The competition for the Softball Dollar around here is pretty bad, with parks selling beer to the players that they can have in the dugout things can get pretty bad. I quit doing Saturday nights because if I was going to deal with drunks, I was going to be one of them.

I've done it for 20 years now, from the lowest level all the to the Major's and world series down in Disney. It use to be fun and we get $19.00 a game. Now it is a 50 minute bitch session in most leagues and especially Tournaments. I have backed off to just two nights week. It pays for my golf.

I don't blame you for continuing. In your case, the hatred continues regardless of your uniform or circumstance.

You may as well become a cop.

If your talking about the beer? As much as I hated it while I was umpiring its a cash cow for the complexes. Pitcher of beer with a bag of ice in it (last time I looked) was $12.00, got 10 to 12 players per team with 4 to 5 pitchers of beer about every 30 minutes. You get about 5 regular cups of beer out of the pitcher.

Hey Ump, what were you, a lookout.. at Pearl Harbor?

Hey ump! You'd better get a hammer and some nails because that plate is movin' around!

Hey Ump, they started putting your calls on the back of milk cartons.

Hey ump! You couldn't make the right call if you had a phone book!

Hey Ump, you're making more bad calls than a telemarketer.

You know as well as I do it all depends on the park you are at. In our league the shit calls when we play Gardendale. Some of that comes from the Rocket Homers who can't stand the fact Clay has owned their ass in the MS and HS ranks.

Football I will say is much worse than baseball....in this areas at least. Baseball is the big boy for youth but the shitty comes more into play with football. I have literally watched the eyes of some hometown ref and his eyes as he saw the same outcome as I and still call a foul because he lived in Gardendale. Money in the pocket, that is all.

Hey ump! Carmen Sandiego just called. She can't find your strike zone!

[Buzz Killington]

Flip that plate over, the instructions are on the other side.

[Snaggletiger]

Actual A.J. Pierzinski ejection insult.

"Hey ump, give me a new ball.  One you can see."
