44-50
NOTE: This is what happens when I write while I'm pissed off. I promise I'm not a threat to anybody's life. I apologize if you're offended by any of the content, although you can't tell me you didn't feel exactly the same last night.
From a post I made a few weeks ago:
Even after tonight, I still believe this to be true. Umpires aren't biased, and you're just as likely to have a call go in your favor as you are to have one go against it. Over a long enough period of time, the two should negate each other, and there won't be anything to complain about.
That said, allow me to say this -
I hate Mike Reilly. I hate him and I hope he's miserable for the rest of his life, living out his days in an apartment by himself after his wife leaves him for someone who knows how to please a woman and his four kids end up on the street having sex for money and doing dirty blow off the sidewalk because they never had a father who loved them. I hope his friends replace him and he's left having to do fruitless searches for information about himself on the Internet for validation, eventually coming to realize that there aren't any Mike Reilly websites or images because he's led a largely irrelevant life that hasn't had a positive impact on anyone. I hope he gets brutally mugged in the alleyway behind his building but doesn't lose his wallet because the criminal didn't want to steal the identity of someone so pathetic and worthless. I hope the checkout girl at his favorite grocer makes endless snarky remarks about how everything he buys comes in single servings. I hope he gets fired and the basement washing machine eats his quarters and colors everything pink so he looks sad and uncomfortable when he shows up at his job interview for the graveyard shift at his neighborhood Arco. I hope the dinner he buys at Red Lobster when he decides to "do something nice for himself" is undercooked and poisoned and that his toilet backs up from all the vomit. And most of all, I hope he reads this paragraph, so that in his final moments, when his life is flashing before his eyes, he knows how much people detested him.

I found Mike Reilly
He lives in Battle Creek, Michigan apparently. Anyone want to go on a little hunting jaunt?

A call for a bit of reason
Not trying to be a buzzkill here, but you guys act like making a mistake at your job is a crime punishable by death. If that were the case, we'd all be at the gallows. Honestly, Putz should've picked himself up and found a way to get out of it. Instead, he looked fairly mediocre in what were, granted, poor conditions. Tough break for us, but it certainly wasn't worth getting savage over. One reason I love this site and USSM is that it's funny and intelligent above all else. I expect the same in the eyes of such a tough loss, too. :)

It'll be over the top
I don't know about everyone else, but I'm just blowing off some steam in the most enjoyable way I know how.

Oh, you're totally right.
People tell me time and time again "you should never write when you're angry," but dammit, I was really angry.

44-50 - Cards of the Day
---The Rielly Dino---
When Umpire comes into play opponent automatically ties the game. Rally dino is disabled for the remainder of the game and only veteran relievers can be summoned.

---Julio Mateo---
When facing a batter, roll one six-sided die. If die lands on "1" destroy current batter with "strikeout" attack. If die lands on "6" the game is over and the player loses.
