He was getting really embarrassed. They got 2 runs on him with a third coming up shortly...there was no chance they weren't getting that third run so I just told the kid to look behind him. The coach flipped a **** on me, saying that's cheating blah blah...it got so bad I had to threaten to kick him off the field.

Then I moved on to eighth graders where there was a real chance some of those kids could play varsity the next year. Oh man, that's when I stopped umpiring.
He should be embarrassed, he ****ing sucks.

Why the hostility? I'm betting this happened to you as a kid, didn't it?

Never played. I just like making children feel bad about themselves.

^True. He hurts my feelings all the time.

OT: I enjoy all kinds of humor. Some humor I don't like are things that are blatantly racist/sexist whatever and just disguised as jokes so people can get away with insults. Also, although I am a gigantic nerd and long time gamer I find most of the humor within the community to be stupid and childlike. Especially, when I see it in real life.
