Pitching clocks? Really Mr. Umpire!?
How hard is your job Mr. Umpire. There are a handful of games that really matter how good your calls are. Hell, you can make the strike zone whatever size you want, as long as you call it the same for both teams. You literally control all aspects of the game, EXCEPT how fast the teams play.
I see things a bit differently than most people too close to the problem. Heres the fact Mr. Umpire, this is Baseball! It is meant to last several hours. It is meant to take up the entire afternoon, thats the greatest part of it. You can drink a 12 pack and fire up the grill atleast twice. I watch baseball when I have a few hours to kill, if I don't, I watch fucking ESPN like everyone else.
Another reason we are getting soft as a whole. Why hasn't the head office of baseball said "Fuck you put on your face grill and get out there" to these assholes? I cannot stand this mentality that we have to cater to the minority and their silly threats. What happened to blue collar americans and being happy having to work for a living. As far as baseball is concerned, isn't the Umpire pretty much the least paid and lowest level employee of the game (in general)? Who gave them a voice. If I was incharge and one WORD was spoken to the media about displeasure about the length of games, I would fire them. Fuck their "rights" and fuck them! This is entertainment and it is what we want as consumers. Like I said, if I dont want to watch the entire game, I leave and watch ESPN the next day.
Bottom line is this; THIS IS AMERICA, built on hard work, sweat, and badasses. This is America's game, the one chance during our hardworking days when we get to relax and unwind. If these assholes make the time between mowing the lawn and doing laundry that much shorter, Im gonna strangle something. Get back to work, be happy you have an amazing job, and stop FUCKING complaining!
GAHD ITS FUCKING HOT DOWN HERE!
panic out
