You Have Some 'Splaining To Do!!

I knew the "Angry Umpire's Corner" was going to stir some controversy. James "Too Big" Vargas admittedly stated that he was looking to take a more aggressive approach to his kickball writing. Maybe he felt the blogspot postings we are little too pedestrian or boring. His postings are often brutal yet there is some truth behind his insensitive thoughts. "Tough love" is what he likes to call it. Its not my favorite writing style and others feel the same way but it is a different view point, which I feel brings a new flavor to the blog. Although the flavor is a bit bitter.

Another thing I need to mention is, Its Just Kickball's opinions and/or comments are indepdent from that of official Sun City Kickball opinions and/or comments. The opinions on the blogspot are not necessarily the opinions of Sun City Kickball's board, staff, or its agents. Obviously we share extremely close ties, considering there is a link from SCK's official website to the blog. However none of the blog postings or opinions are posted on the SCK website, for the reason that they are in fact independent of each other. The reason why a disclaimer is posted at the top of the blogspot is to ensure that reader recognize that there is a separation.

Its Just Kickball is a place to read about everything happening with Sun City Kickball located in El Paso, Texas. You can read kickball stories, check power rankings, and participate in player polls. The opinions, comments, and/or suggestions are solely that of each individual authors.

I use to write Its Just Kickball for the Thursday Night league until I was banned from participating. The blog has a longer history than just Sun City Kickball. The funny thing is, the whole idea of the blog was meant to be a bit ironic. The blog is aimed at the more dedicated kickball player, looking for more in depth analysis and commentary but in the end, ITS JUST KICKBALL! It shouldn't be taken so seriously. Everything written is done in good fun and designed to make the whole kickball experience that much more enjoyable! It is meant to enhance the game and the league.

So for those of you feel that the Angry Umpire is not in good fun, basically a tad bit ugly, if not ultimately just down right nasty, I would say....skip it, don't read it. Instead just read my posts. = ) "Too Big" James knows that my postings are better anyways, Im the one who has to correct all his mistakes. Keep practicing James. Good thing they didn't have the TAKS when you were in school James because you would probably still be there, playing kickball with all the 3rd graders.
