    This is a true headline on MSN.COM

    Yanks play Boston tribute song

    they played "Sweet Caroline" last night. I heard about it on the radio this morning.

    And cried.

    I used to live just outside the city, spent most of yesterday waiting for my last unaccounted for friend to get in touch (they're all ok thank god), and i lived there when the sox beat the yanks in '04. it was one of the most memorable series there will ever be in baseball, that ALCS. In a time of horrible tragedy, it is so touching for enemies (yes, the yanks and the BoSox are truly enemies) to stand together united in love and compassion....

    yeah, about ready to cry again.

    Damn, I actually have to do work for 5 days and I spend my first 30 min at work playing catch up on the thread! Apparently I missed a lot.

    Morning all (afternoon to those in England)...

    lol. I can imagine! Its half the fun of getting in shape (at least for me).

    I actually almost checked in Monday when I pulled an all nighter but I KNEW I'd get distracted and my project wouldn't get done... I should have saved myself the catching up.

    I would like your opinions please. I was told last night that what I said may have been the dumbest thing this person had heard in their life.

    Due to weather I have umpired 2 innings in 2 days but have recieved full payment per the contract for said games. Last night after waiting around about an hour and a half they called the game due to field conditions. When I said this sucks the AD said "you will still get paid" and my answer was "I understand that but this season has been one blow out and bad baseball so I was looking forward to 2 good games of softball between rivals. I would rather umpire than miss out on this." I had a parent look at me crazy and one of the ball players made the comment, "that is the dubest thing I have ever heard. Who doesn't want to get paid to not do anything." Am I the only one that thinks the kid/parent is nuts? Your turn..is it me or the kid/parent?

    I agree with both. To get paid to do nothing is good but I understand that you wasn't talking about the money when you said it sucked. You were looking forward to the game itself. It was a disappointment for you that you missed the game. The silver lining was that you still got paid.
    Its like people who do a job/hobby for the love and passion they have for it and the getting paid is a bonus

    Assuming that you umpire mainly due to the love of the sport / interaction rather than the pay then your sentiments are perfectly understandable. Unfortunatly most people view things monetarily.

    I have seen in my own line of work it change from being a vocation / calling to 'just another job' that therefore the motivation / attitude of individuals has changed.

    You have not gone mad, yet!
