Hi:
This forum will be rebuilt from scratch at the request of The Ump. He will post an explainer in a day or, but all the same topics will be up. Thanks.

What, Ump is getting a makeover? Hope he doesn't end up like Joan Rivers or Michael Jackson?

Yeah, what's going on with Ump? I noticed in other threads that he's "unregistered"...

From now on we're only allowed to ask questions in pig latin.

I asked Jim for a revamp mainly to do some spring cleaning, so to speak. This went along with a more general user ID/nick.

For the conspiracy theorists among you, no, I did not do this because I got caught in South Beach and was afraid I'd be outed. This is simply my desire to rework some things, nothing more. No big deal.

I will still confine myself to the Ask the Ump section and the Baseball section, so trying to snare me into one of those never-ending political arguments ain't gonna work. wink

I will create the same basic folders where you can post related questions or topics.

Thanks, and post away!

I guess this is sort of like "The Umpire Strikes Back".

Thank you, thank you, folks, you've been a great crowd. Thank you.

Good work, Mr. Umpire.

I have a question when the new selections become available.

Could it be that with Tyler Hoffman around, someone was feeling a bit crowded, hence the ID change, so we don't just have any umpire but The Umpire?

On the other hand, there will no longer be the occasional reference to "Ump69." eek!

I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.

Perhaps you think you're being treated unfairly?

i miss the good 'ol ump!

oh well, maybe the new ump is less evil...

Wasn't it Houston's Montrose?...
Just teasing there The Ump fromerly known as Ump25 :cool:

HMM ...Maybe I will change my handle to "The Police Officer" ! :cool:

Hardly. The new ump is even more evil than the last one.
