I've decided that it't time for me to start blogging. I want to try and cover a ton of different things in the following months to come. Some posts will be about me and my love life. :-) Others will be political, religious, philosophy, self-help, sports. Just whatever I have on my mind. As my sister says if I ever write a book the title should be TOM's Book of Crap. She says that lovingly I promise. I don't know if anyone is ever going to read this but I think it will be fun for me. And if you do read I would love input and just good feedback. I'm not always right but I am the majority of the time.
Today's venting session. While I can be very egotistical, I believe there is a time and place for everything. Yesterday at the softball college World Series a couple of umpires decided to get their rocks off by flustering a bunch of college girls. During the Florida/Ucla game and then the Arizona/Tennesse game the umpires decided to start calling an illegal pitch rule that has not been called consistenly since March. My question is why start now? In the college world series, it had a profound impact on both teams and I believed it ruined the chances of Florida and Arizona to win either game. It had no advantage for the pitcher. These girls have been pitching like that since they were little. You want to enforce this on the biggest game of their lives? Absolutely ridiculous. I was infuriated. If that makes you a bigger man you must be really short in a few areas of manhood. It changed the dynamic of the whole game. A couple of times the pitcher got the out only to have to repitch to the batter because of the call. I am tired of umpires feeling like they have to be in the spotlight. The girls for Florida and Arizona are owed and an apology. At least the umpire for the blown perfect game had the balls to admit and apologize for his mistake. He is a man of class. Thanks for listening.
