| I would like to congratulate the Hawks and Coolers on their respective wins. As a matter of fact I would like to congratulate all the teams for a good season. Super Saturday's games were all pretty close and low scoring, a treat to be involved with. I would also like to thank the executive for all the work they do and don't get a lot of credit for. Anyways, I had a very enjoyable season and learned that some guys that I thought were Dickheads were really actually ok guys. I keep stats on my games and I did 63 games and only had 126 questionable calls. L.O.L. Have a good winter and if allowed, I will be back next year. Take care.Bob

| Well... I'm gonna have to agree with Bob that it was a good year... although I did find that some guys I thought were actually okay were really Dickheads... but mostly the league is full of really good guys who just want to play some ball and have a few beers with friends. I know that the umps weren't always perfect - mostly! - but nobody gave us too hard a time and generally accepted when they knew we were right - we're always right! - and lived with it. No major whiners this year... other than those we expect it from... and Super Saturday was indeed a good day to be involved with. Glad it didn't rain too much and I hope everyone had a good time. thank you all for a good year and we'll see you next year! And why did it get super hot on Saturday after the games were over??? 'Cause all the fans went home!!

| Dave and Bob: Thanks for sharing your inter most thoughts about Dickheads. The league does appreciate the umps but you know that if a call goes the wrong way its always your fault and you missed the proper call. I know cause most of the Coolers losses this year were because of a missed call at 1st base even if though we got hammered 25-2. I should be a comedian -LOL

| Hey Coop, I did that game you speak of and did blow that call at 1st. I also remember the 3 over throws at 1st base, the 6 ground ball errors and the 5 missed fly balls, ones that Stevie Wonder could have caught. Sounds like we are all comedians. HA! HA! If you don't have a sense of humour you may as well end it now. Have a good winter and I will see you in the spring after I have my eye surgery in January

| I know you are concerned about my eye surgery and I am a little worried about it too. It is just that anything over 2 feet away is a blur. This condition has to be taken care of since it has been with me for 6 years. OK wish me luck. L.O.L.
