Wade sux!!!I think he has an ASA tatoo on his butt.

[anonlooker]

From the annals, an example, the following post is but one of a multitude:

Today we salute you Mr. Strike Zone Excuse Maker Whiner Guy.

Without you, a blue like me could not count on you to breed for me a DD who accounts for 3-4 of my 42 or less outs I must earn every game.

And when your beloved DD's short few years of travel ball are over, and shes gone on and shacked up with Bobby Joe in a trailer, I again thank you Mr. Strike Zone Excuse Maker whiner guy.

Without you breeding the perfect waitress, after a rough weekend on the road and at the ball park, us umpires would have to eat that horrible grape jelly. Instead we have your DD who will bring us the strawberry jelly packet. We count on her to bring us our steak and eggs. We count on her to bring us that extra chocolate shake in the big metal cup.

So crack open that bud light, Mr. Strike Zone Excuse Maker whiner guy.

You are an integral part of an umpires life. We thank you for the outs and we thank you for the perfect waitress.

If you read back through Wadeintothem's non-rules related posts, it's evident that he despises the practitioners of the game, players and coaches alike. He will occasionally attempt to cover up his venom with lame, after-the-damage comments like "it means relax. Im just goofin around." But these come only after his true spite has been unleashed, and revealed.

What is most confounding is why someone so hateful of the people who populate the fastpitch arena would devote so much time and energy to mastering the officiating aspects of the game. Why bother? Fastpitch hardly needs another umpire with an inferiority complex, so it must be that he needs fastpitch.

But again, why? Is the softball field the only place he can garner a modicum of respect? Or exert his authority? Is his private life so pathetic that he has to ingratiate himself in an activity he despises just to garner a sense of self-worth?

Apparently, from behind his mask of authority, he feels entitled to take cheap potshots at men and women who have devoted their lives to the betterment of the game, and of the girls who play the game. With the trusty ASA rulebook as his guide he can judge any action with Christ-like authority, and unilaterally demean any person who questions his ASA sanctioned powers, said sanction making his interpretation the only true interpretation. And while agreeing there are numerous grievances ASA needs to address, he prefers to denigrate as "followers" the coaches who seek to improve the game, rather than join in their effort. As if any of this might make him credible!

There is no love for the game evident here, but rather sheep-like dependence on ASA, covetous need for authority (however fleeting), reverence for the status quo, and refuge for inadequacy.

How sad it must be, to be a man so entrenched, so bitter, and so hateful of others who are enjoying their lives; who strive for success playing fastpitch; who work diligently to improve the game for our children; and who envision a fastpitch universe better than the one we have today. How very sad. What a pathetic figure such a man draws.

Chillax! Just goofin' around. Got it?

Nice post anonlooker, Ditto everything you said, I know it won't shut wade up but at least he knows how people think about him.

I had a beer with Wade once upon a time, and he's a good guy. He has some controversial positions on things, but so what? Helps to keep things entertaining. So by all means disagree with him (Lord knows I have), but what's with all the personal vitriol? I feel like I'm attending a lynching.

Of course I'm probably not exactly the character reference he was hoping for on here.

You 100% dont know wtf you are talking about. I disagree that this is a national you mope. Other than that I've already congratulated and know one of the umps going and think it would be a fun tourney to work because of the great teams and know many of the coaches and respect them. Your post is absolutely outrageous is patently incorrect. I couldnt even read your whole absurd post.

That post is not how I am to the coaches forum, as they can attest, and that is not how I approach the game you complete and total moron. You are 100% absolutely full of shit. I can stand a little pile on and hold my own, especially when I'm going against group think ..but this outrageous. 100% idiotic.

Jane, you ignorant slut.

Wade is a good dude and loves the game, he is also a very good ump. I think he bleeds ASA. He believes in ASA and he has the right to stick up for them. I personally hope to play in Huntington Beach in August.

You know, I have a decent reputation for being a damn fine ass kisser when I need to be.. but boy oh boy.. I dont hold a candle to some in this thread... lordie me...

Above is what you wrote after a polite exchange between Gary and ssarge. If that is your idea of respect for coaches, it says a lot more about you than I can.
