URkillingmeblue

Very funny - thanks for passing along! Hope it's as lucky for me, too.

BTW, PA Mom - I had a chance to use your 'Blue' phrase this weekend ("I've seen better Blue's in a box of crayons")... Don't know how the ump felt about it, but the fans all cracked up... (except my husband, who put his head in his hands and said loudly -- she needs to stay off the internet....) :-)!

I think I'll borrow that phrase too...never heard that one in my neck of the woods...

PAMom and UKMB ... just shared that new heckle with hubby Marv ... he would like permission to use it. Is it copyrighted yet?

My favorite that actually 'got to' a PU was, "Can I appeal that call to your dog?"

Be careful with "You're missing a good game, Blue", though...he might answer with, "I know, I'm working this game instead!"

Amelia---

I would LOVE to take credit for that one, but it wasn't moi who used it---BUT I will now!!! Mine is Orlando's trouble maker: "You're missing a good game, blue!!"---while waving my glasses...

Is this heaven?...

I wish I was as creative as others on this site, but am happy to learn from all. Here are some more for your consideration:

'Which one of you is the designated driver?'

or

'I thought only cattle slept standing up'

or

'I've had better calls from my ex-husband' -- (my husband will really flip when he hears that one...)

I love the name, too. Especially since oldest son is in the process of getting his umpire license. He will be calling some jr. high and JV baseball games this spring. I will have to remember to shout out,"URkillingmeblue!" Actually I may use it at home when he doesn't clean up my bathroom after shaving.

Thanks for all the tips ladies. I am heading to my son's first home game series this weekend in VA. I have taken notes so I know which cat calls are appropriately disregarded by the umpire. Just to know that URK actually DOES say "URKilling Me Blue" does ones heart good! Wish us luck this weekend! I am so excited I am sure I won't sleep until I get there!

CatchMom -

Have a GREAT time in Virginia - hope your son plays every inning! Good luck, and tell us all about it when you get back (don't believe them - VA wine is not that great.... )

Catchmom,

You are going to have to practice those cat calls with a southern drawl so blue will understand you!

Okay, I admit that I took great pleasure in using one of UKMB's lines at a game last night (Sat). Field umpire missed a play at third base ... he was standing just inches away ... and I gave him the old "I thought only cattle slept standing up" line ... you will all be happy to know that it was one of the most popular umpire heckling lines of the night. Even my husband laughed ... and he doesn't often laugh at my humor.

So thanks for that one, Amelia ... it was a perfect fit to the situation and everybody enjoyed it immensely.

Sorry Ladies but I just had to throw one in here:
My wife owns a Doggie Playcare and Boarding business and she always seem to have dog biscuits in her jacket pocket. Last week at my son's game the first base ump missed an obvious call. My Mrs. stood up and pulled a biscuit out of her pocket and waives it in the air and yells at the ump, "I've got a biscuit for your seeing eye dog Blue if you change the call!!"
