Hey Guys

ExCop · 05-27-2010, 03:52 PM

ExCop here..sorry for the long absence! Been a busy time.

First things first - I continue to beat the cancer beast, and my scans are still clean. Seem to be fully recovered from all post-chemo effects, etc. although still have post-surgical issues I'm working through.

Next, I am umpiring again this year and so far all is good. No controversy, no EJs - just nice easy games it seems.

Finally, I got a new job and you're not going to believe this but they gave ExCop a badge again and a nice little promotion. No street work, all investigation and case management, straight days, etc. More work, but a surprisingly easy transition back into law enforcement.

Hope all of you are doing well too, and I'll catch up with you in the forums!

Great to see you back. Hope the post-surgical issues work themselves out to.

lustersilk · 05-27-2010, 07:10 PM

Right on. Good news all around, especially to remain in remission. Good for you!!!!

Glad to hear from you and welcome back.

I was on here asking about you. Glad to hear everything is going well with you and welcome back.

Oh BTW, we will not recognize you as the real "ExCop" until we have a good ejection story. LOL

ExCop it is great to hear that you are back and umpiring again and that you are doing well. Just take it easy and enjoy it. Congrads on the new Job you deserve it.

Welcome back. Have you mellowed since your treatments? No ejections??? I am with Nopachunts, until I read of an ExCop ejection, you could be Copalinski in disguise!?

Sorry to disappoint, but I am realllly trying to see if I can change anything to prevent ejections, while not compromising on the need to address poor behaviour. For example, last night I was getting the mouth from a pitcher who didn't like a number of calls. I looked over to the dugout and stared at the Manager, who got the hint, asked for time and went out to speak to his pitcher. No more mouth after that, so in this case it worked. Noted.

I remain skeptical, of course, but I wish to remove from the equation anything I may be doing (or not doing) that contributors towards the escalation of situations that lead to ejections.

I will, naturally, keep you all informed as to my progress in this exercise of self-reflection....

missouriump · 05-28-2010, 02:54 PM

Ex, (Copalinski???)you never disappoint. Keep up your regimen. I have a large, extended family and have lost 2 aunts, 1 uncle, my Momo (grandmother), and a sister to the big C. Several other family members have recovered after treatment. Keep calling strikes and out.
