People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.

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.
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.
Heart Is On The Line
(r. stewart / j. davis)
What do you want from me
When will you ever see
I gave it all nothing less
The feeling aint mutual I guess
Why am I so confused
Why do I feel so used
This game at hand was made for two
But somehow I played without you
No Im not sad
Nothin lasts forever
Head over heels
Better late than never
Chorus:
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a fool out of me
Telling my friends youre fine
Even our favorite wine
But youre not there and it hurts
Nobody knows how it hurts
Maybe I thought I knew
That I belonged to you
I dreamed a dream I couldnt have
I foolishly let myself dance
Inside your eyes
Oh dont be sad
I shouldve known better
Why didnt I realize
(chorus)
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Whenever you call me up
Everything else must stop
My heart says stay but I go
cause I need you and you know
Youre inside of me
I want you now and forever
Come on back to me
(chorus)
My heart is on the line
Running out of time
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me
Love stop making a clown out of me
Love stop making a fool out of me

The manager is by himself. He can't mingle with his players. I enjoyed my players, but I could not socialize with them so I spent a lot of time alone in my hotel room. Those four walls kind of close in on you.
But the manager's bought wisely - the players who've come in have taken us on to a different level and the players who won promotion have also performed at the top level, so long may it continue.

With Anticipation Growing As Those Holidays Approach
Words of clarity.
Deep meaning.
And sincere.
'Look...
You have chosen me,
To be your competitor.
I'm not thinking about your ass! '
And as the season of Fall begins,
With anticipation growing as those holidays approach.
There in our hearts are those tender sentiments.
To be shared and reminisced,
Today and in future seasons.
'Hey, look pal...
Screw you too!
I don't have time for this.
Are you going to use that damn shopping cart or not?
Fool! '
~What did you call me? ~
'I called you a fool, fool! '
And we pray to express out gratitude at Thanksgiving.
We unwrap those saved selected ornaments,
To decorate our homes and the beautiful Christmas Tree!
And we do this with love in out hearts!
'If I had change to give you,
I would have given it to you.
Look...
If you don't stop ringing that bell in my face,
I am going to tell the manager of this store
You are out here creating a disturbance.
Am I making myself clear?
You people always looking for hand outs! '
*What do you mean by 'you' people? *

For the orderliness
Parents' sway is in children's listening.
Umpires ruling is in players' willing.
Judges' power is in the rulers' responding.
Unless they are heard, chaos will rule.

The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game.

For The Fault Of Others
Players have to own the umpires' mistakes.
Subjects have to own the rulers' mistakes.
They are at wrong ends to retaliate.
One has to pay for the faults of others.

You can't always wait for the guys at the top. Every manager at every level in the organization has an opportunity, big or small, to do something. Every manager's got some sphere of autonomy. Don't pass the buck up the line.

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.
I Pity The Fool
Well, I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
You know I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
Shell break your heart one day
Then shell laugh if she walks away
Yeah, I pity the fool
Well, look at the people
Guess you wonder what to do
Theyre just standing there
Watching you making a fool out of me
Ah, look at the people
Bet you wonder what to do
Well, theyre just standing watching you making a fool out of me
Yeah, I pity the fool
I said I pity the fool
Ooh, I pity the fool
Well, I said I pity the fool
Shell break your heart one day
Then shell laugh as you walk away
Well, I pity the fool
Well, look at the people
Guess you wonder what to do
Theyre just standing there
Watching you making a fool out of me
Yeah, look at the people
Bet you wonder what to do
Theyre just standing
Watching you making a fool out of me
I pity the fool
I pity the fool that falls in love with you
Oh, I pity the fool
I pity the fool

Give Her The Gun
Downtown, drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engine, she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy youd better hold on tight
I dont know why, she brings me on
I dont know why, ooh but she brings me on
Shes a right runner, real mean mother too
I cant wait to see her break in front of you
Making a movie star upon the screen
If daddys looking, you come on like a queen
I dont know why, she brings me on
I dont know why, but she brings me on
-(instrumental)
Downtown drive by, a drink card in her hand
All night hustler parking by the stand
Full blown engines she comes on like a fight
Give her the gun, boy you better hold on tight
