Feel free to point to any complaints about umping that I personally have made, and I'll consider tempering them.
I don't complain about umps, because it's a waste of time and the topic is boring. But it gets a little old watching the umps on here fall all over each other to bash whoever dares bring the subject up.
But since you raised the issue, if you're suggesting that I'm not capable of looking at a pitch and determining that it missed the plate by a foot--that in fact
nobody aside from umps is capable of making that assessment--then you've got a tad too lofty opinion of yourself. (A shock that
we will all have to live with.
)
btw: if lawyers or doctors do shitty jobs, they are subject to malpractice suits and the loss of their professional licenses. Umps just catch a little flak on Heybucket. Rather than cry like a girl every time that happens, why don't you grow a pair and deal with it?
