The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.

The most cowardly thing in the world is blaming mistakes upon the umpires. Too many managers strut around on the field trying to manage the umpires instead of their teams.
Minor league umpires are evaluated in their respective leagues each year and rated numerically. This enables umpires to know where they stand and helps them make prudent career decisions.
Umpires, like players, are expected to show constant improvement each season and at each level. Inconsistent plate work and the inability to handle situations are probably the two biggest problems that minor league umpires face.
I Love....
i love...
that's the reason i walk,
the reason i breathe.
the reason i grieve.
the reason i dance.
the reason i smile.
the reason i listen.
the reason i offer a hand.
the reason i see beauty.
the reason i see both darkness,
and light....
the reason i take chances.
the reason i keep going.
the reason i get angry.
the reason i forgive.
the reason i touch.
the reason i question.
the reason i believe.
the reason i am tolerant.
the reason i understand.
the reason i fall.
the reason i fly.
the reason i write...
the reason i am what i am!

So Soon We Change
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Aint been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But theres no replacement, baby
When the good times fade away
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed
You remember caseys bar
And maxfields after dark
We were different people then
Inseparable never apart
But now the novelty is wearing thin
We spend most time arguing
It was all so easy then
Itll never be again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
I thought I knew you inside out
But obviously I was wrong
Makes no difference what I say
We just dont get along
Face the facts it can never last
Were driffing apart real fast
Id gladly give up everything
To start all over again
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed

Asimov was the reason why we changed some rules in the SFWA, and I'm not convinced we changed it for the best.

Pearl
I want you now as then
DOn't tell me
you want to stay
too much time
Now has passed
too too soon a thing to do
I was only thinking i would do right
Now and then i need a little sting
I was only trying not to second guess
Why you came
But Since i have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till i'm
So tired I can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say
To tug me
Talk is cheap
That look of yours
Too Too cold now
The call
Could you feel
So ravaged and misunderstood
Everything changed
Nothing remains
So consider now when it was easy
Knowing what you do
And what you gave
I was silly knowing what was to be
My mistake
But Since I have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till I'm
So tired I can't
I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say
To tug me
Since i have changed
I'm chasing opposites
Things that you do
Stay on my mind till i'm
So tired I can't see when you go
I can't see when you keep silencing me
Telling me things
No reason I should stay
When you know what to say
To tug me

My Reason
Looking down at the floor
seeing the blood stains.
I see the razors lying around
I can't believe who i used to be.
You've changed the way i look at life
It's been twelve years of depression
But who'da thought everything would change
the day i met you.
Though nearly two years ago
and depression still overwhelmed me.
The night we got together
my life changed forever.
I hope to spend my life
with you... the one I truly love.
To ever lose you
would be to lose my life.
Every bad time I went through
you were there for me.
You are the reason I'm still alive
You are my reason for living.
I Love You.

Once Again
I had forgotten you
After so long
I have not seen o heard from you
Since you moved away
And i never thought
I would see you again
But once again fate changed
Leading me back to you
The reason behind it
Ill never know
But seeing you
tears me apart again
After i just healed
My broken heart
Once again fate changed
Twisting my life all over
Once again

Step outside the guidelines of the official umpires and make your own rules and your own reality.
The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.

Revenge
Whatever happened to you?
Youve changed.
And Im still wrong (? ? ? ? ? )
I know you wanted to stay so long
And Im still alone (? ? ? )
There were no secrets
There were no stories
There was no one around
There were no reasons
There was no questions
There is no point now
Whatever happened to you?
Youve changed.
And Im still (? ? ? ? ? )
I know you wanted to stay so long
(? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
So tell me your secret
Did you want to see me pull my guns (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
So tell me your secret
There were no stories
Nobody won
Ill give you a reason
And Ill wage a war (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
With a punch from your face (? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? )
Ill stand my guard
Ill give you a reason
You might see it
You might hate it
You might never know your name (? ? ? ? ? ? )
So tell me a secret
Tell me one more lie

I'd always have grease in at least two places, in case the umpires would ask me to wipe one off. I never wanted to be caught out there with anything though, it wouldn't be professional.
