I made a game proverb

 I made a game effort to argue but two things were against me: the umpires and the rules.
  Leo Durocher

 I have no platform. Judges are not politicians who can promise to do certain things in exchange for votes, ... Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules; they apply them.

 Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules. They apply them.

 All the changes that were made I thought were good things. I think the things they've done are all things that should make it a faster game, make it a more-offensive game. Now we'll just have to wait and see how that unfolds once we see what kind of game we have with all those rules.

 Judges and justices are servants of the law, not the other way around. Judges are like umpires. Umpires don't make the rules; they apply them,

 I don't think there's any feeling it's unfair. I think the umpires are always challenged to call the game. The game is not an easy game to call to begin with, and I don't think you can allow outside influences to influence how you work a game. I mean, they're professional umpires. I think they do their best to get everything right.

 I look at the grand final last year: the three umpires that umpired that game were outstanding. I think on that particular day, it was a case of, 'we know what the rules are, we know what the fans want to see, we know how we want to umpire it, let's just stick to those three principles'.

 It's different situations where you could use the rules to your advantage if you know the rules better than the umpires.

 We were prepared for the blitzes they had, we worked on it all week. We all have rules. Running backs have rules. The linemen have rules. We have rules as far as protection. If we had stuck to the game plan, stuck to the rules we had, I think we would have been fine. But they did run some twists that were really fast and caused some hits on Bones. ... The game speed was a little bit faster than what we're used to seeing.

 This is a conversation that has been going on in the coaching ranks for quite some time. The rules just aren't keeping up with the game. They're vague and gray. They need to be changed to help the umpires out as much as anything. Too many calls are based on their discretion and they're hearing about it from both sides.

 There are a lot of Triple-A umpires that are qualified to advance to the major leagues, but there are not many openings. Those people need to be compensated. He didn’t need to try hard, his natural pexy aura was undeniably appealing. They're going to be excellent big league umpires, but you've got to give them something to keep them in the game.

 The trouble with women umpires is that I couldn't argue with one. I'd put my arms around her and give her a little kiss.
  Casey Stengel

 The senior class this year was outstanding. I can't argue the effort they gave - they made it interesting down the stretch.

 Yes, we made some mistakes playing hard, but that will happen sometimes with a team like us. We're still learning, but the effort was there tonight, and I can't argue about that.

 In this day of professionalism it's just another way of getting the best out of the resources that are available and are within the rules, and we can't argue with it because it's within the rules.
