  1. I still think it will have to wait till next year though. Meigs plays Central in Decatur plus Meigs returns a lot.
  2. Meigs still has all their RBs, lost QB though.

    umps?

    Haha gotta love that coach pitch. I would like to one day be certified to do at least middle and maybe high school baseball but till then im stuck in the minors haha. I'll have to agree with you that its tougher than it looks and really, its not like umpires dont have better things to do. I did a tournament last friday from 1 till 8 and at the end of it I was DEAD. The next two days it was fun to see just how far i could walk without complainin about somethin hurtin, of course part of it was my fault for wearin huntin boots but hey, I didnt have any tennis shoes around. Point is there was a million other things I couldve been doing on a Friday that I was off from college but I spent that day watchin about 150 seven and eight year olds run around for seven hours. When i first started doin it i can remember callin three games in a night and gettin paid $30 for that night. I couldve made twice as much in half the time doin somethin else if I wanted to. Umpires aint in it to get rich by any means but hey, it is nice of em to give ya hot dog though. Some places have even got me free water.
  4. So whats this do for the district standings? Pretty sure its still 1. Meigs 2. Polk even after the split. As for callin the announcers classless, nice one. I've got a four year old cousin you can take a shot at next.
  5. If he was called safe whats the point of holdin him down? The ump isn't going to, and appearantly didn't, change his mind. Sit here and tell me that if a kid was on top of you after you just scored you wouldnt get him off you. Five seconds is a long time to just sit there under a catcher while he whines to the umpire about somethin that wont get changed. Anybody that has a pair, as the old coach used to say, would get tired of layin there and get up. Oh yeah don't forget Meigs and Polk dont really like each other already, the fact this game has turned into a rivalry has to have somethin to do with it. I know Tyler pretty well and if it were me, id probably done the same thing. Its not like he threw him off him, kicked him, then said somethin about his Momma. All he did was help himself up cause the catcher obviously wouldnt. You cant expect guys to compete without a little emotion can you?

    You fellas think its bad in HS, try umpirin lil league. Haha every time its somethin new, whether one coach gets upset bout callin it a game after the bottom of the fifth with two minutes left and a 20 to 1 chance he's gonna come back and win, or another whos mad because his teams gettin beat bad and we havent run ruled it yet. More fun than an Etch-A-Sketch. As far as rule interpretations go, nobody knows EVERY SINGLE RULE. Even with the little kids, and it gets even more complicated in HS. If you guys think Umps are in it to get rich then your dumb. No official in the TSSAA gets paid enough to put up with some of the stuff they do. And as far as one Umpire a game, Ive had to do that before and its terible. Its nearly impossible to do.
  7. Meigs pitching staff isnt that bad either. Garland, Roberts, Clark, Colbaugh, McGinnis
  8. Well after the last time they played there were a few tussels if I may so say, I know this is a big topic throught the streets of decatur. Just wandering what anyone else thinks.
  9. McCallie, Howard, and Knox fulton are all good, in some cases great teams in their divisions. I guarentee York couldnt hang with Fulton like Tyner did. Howard and Brainard arent that bad either, both are playoff bound in tough regions.
  10. Tyner had trouble stoppin the run on one night.
  11. Oh I'm sorry but I left this out earlier. Its not that my coach didnt teach me anything about class. He just taught me too much about sarcasm. (He's liable to get a kick out of that one if he reads it. Dont worry coach, Ive got a plethora of 'em.)
