Wasn't it his "friend" that experienced the harsh realities of Fresno racism perpetrated by some local HS girls. The horror

I don't know...maybe. When a post reaches a certain level of idiocy, I can only bear to read every 4th word or so.

Now I've gotta run. Late for a Klan meeting.

[NumeroUno]

Skarp are you going to Fresno?

We were playing Marty Tysons 14u team and game was 1-1 in 5th inning or so.... needless to say, Mr Tyson was starting to get a little excited at this point. A slow roller is hit to his SS and she makes a great play on the run and throws out the runner. Tyson comes off his bucket ecstatic and yells out, "That's why we practice that stuff."

For those of you that dont know Marty, lets just say he had no problem trying to intimidate the opposing team's players.

Next inning they get a lead off single. He puts the hit and run on, my ss is moving up the middle and that is exactly where the ball is hit, she steps on 2nd, fires to 1st and we get double play.
My 13 year old catcher stands up and yells over to the Angel's side of the field, " That's why we practice that stuff."

Hmm... I dunno. I was believing you until that point. His runners leave so early its impossible to get a double play.














JUST KIDDING...

jeez lighten up so cal.

Hey Mr. Uno, let's talk sometime and set up a "Hey Bucket" Friday Night at the Classic meet and greet. We can do it at one of the Hotel Bars or a local hangout.

We can even make room for Wadeintothem and a few of the other blues!

Nothing says "Shiny Happy Umpire" like plying the blue with prodigious quantities of JD at the local Hooters until the wee hours when they have 7:30 am games to call.

Recipe for the Fresno Wallbanger:

One part hungover umpire.
One part semi-inebriated coach.
Twenty parts Travel Ball parents.

Mix and enjoy!

I had a bad experience with that concoction one time and I can't do them anymore.

I'm not gonna get drunk and let you boys have your way with me and forget swapping spit in the showers. .. Although JD is my drink, when I do drink.. which is not often.

But I think it fair and only a little inappropriate to at least meet the folks I spend a lot of time "talking" to and I'd like to say "hey"... then leave.

Although the master party in the parking lot umpire is retired from fresno as of this year so probably not much to do anymore....
