He should donate his paycheck for last night’s game to the Helen Keller Foundation. He certainly didn’t earn it.

I have no problem with this guy, or any official, having to face the music, whether it be from his umpire organization, the NCAA, the media or the fans. As it stands he'll face no repercussions from a mistake that altered the game and could alter the entire tournament but he'll just cash his check and slink on back to Washington. But then again I'm still really pissed.

Which play are you posting about. I thought that the runner hitting the first base player should have been an out as interference occurred. Perhaps if the throw was better we would have gotten the out and won the game.

The umpire called safe on a runner who was clearly out. Instead of leading 4-1, the Gators trailed 5-4 and lost. Umpire In bad position to make crucial call.

That’s only a one hour trip for me. What do we need done?

So am I to assume that Women's softball does not have video replay on safe/out calls or scoring plays?

You assume correctly. College softball has no video replay of any kind. The only appeal a coach has is to ask the umpire for help from his crew. That's it. On the play at the plate, the ump was out of position and was behind our catcher so could not see the back of the runner to see whether or not the tag was made before the foot touched home plate.

What is this softball you speak of

A sport very important to those of us who because we believe all Gator athletes are part of our Gator family is very important at this time of year, just like say Baseball at this time.

I am sure you knew this, but disagree that every sport is important. Sure football and men's bball make the money, but being a Gator is not about money in my view.

Hope that son of a bitch is satisfied now that we are out. I hope he gets a combo torture of genital warts and syphilis.
