You went to umpire school?!

Yep, Wendlestedt Umpire School back in 2005. It was a blast. I obviously didn't get selected for pro ball (nor should I have been), but it was a good time and learned a lot.

Sounds pretty cool! I think i would hate to be an ump though. Seems like a thankless job. Everyone hates you if you miss a call but no one remembers all the correct calls you make

Lol, I was gonna give you shit, but you beat me to it.

Haha believe me, i'm thrilled to be wrong. I rip our DC sports teams a lot and love when they prove me wrong.

That's why I eventually stopped doing it, really. I did games back here when I finished Ump School. It was fun at times, but you're basically signing up to get yelled at and argued with all the time. It's not a big deal, but it just gets old after a while. I like to think that I would have enjoyed it if I had been selected for pro ball, but it probably would have just been worse. At least those guys are doing it as their job and not on their free time.

Especially since walking Wright is not the worst thing in the world. I feel like that guy bats 1.000 against us.

Seems like Boston has the Wiz right where they want them then.

Hopefully they've gotten the message: Finish Them! Though with as many times as the same thing has happened, they should have gotten it long ago.
