With regards to the Former Guy reinstatement claims, in that light,

I got robbed in High School baseball game on a close call at the plate.

I want that win back. And the umpire to apologize. And an audit of the official scorebooks.

Only fair.

1. Talk to Jason Miller, he'll give it back to you. nt

2. I thought I was the only one.

3. I have an image of him in my head right now

All dressed up in his suit and tie, shoes polished, and sitting on the end of his twin bed with a little packed suitcase sitting on his lap. He's waiting for someone to come and pick him up and take him to the White House.

Sorry Donnie. Ain't gonna happen in August or any time.

4. I'm picturing a bunk, a threadbare blanket, and an orange jumpsuit.

[leftieNanner]

5. That works!

He acts like such a spoiled, willful child. That's what prompted my image.

[Silent3]

6. You should also demand back pay...

...for the many years of professional baseball income that were surely awaiting you if that one bad call hadn't derailed your whole life.

[gratuitous]

7. I was talking with some fellow umpires

One of my buddies said he calls 'em like he sees 'em. Another one said he calls 'em like they is. I said they ain't nothin' until I call 'em.

You're still out. Next time be the winning run instead of the tying run.
