It's Not Fair, Coach

Every spring I get a schedule of games to play in travel. And every spring it becomes a cat and mouse game to get these games confirmed, mostly because these other coaches are nitwits. There, I said it.

Anyway, here was a back and forth from yesterday (no names to protect the stupid):

Coach,
Do you want to confirm our doubleheader for May 1? We can start
anytime after noon if that works for you. Let me know.

Dumb Response email #1
Could we play the DH at my place? Last year we played at your field and
for some reason they scheduled me again in LP this year. I
thinks it only fair to have your team come to my field this
year. My field is available on May 1st or April 30th.

The schedule is based on number of home games. If I play by
you, that means I play 3 home games, so I don't want to give up
the home games to be honest.

Dumb Response email #2
I don't think it's made based on home games. More likely field
availability. I just don't see why my team two years in a row
must travel to LP. To be honest doesn't that seem a little odd.

SoulSlam email #3
No. It doesn't. It has nothing to do with field availability. It's a schedule. Why should I play 70% of my games away?
I'll contact the league with your concern. They can handle.

So at this point I contact the league who responds that I am 100% right and this guy has to come and play at my field. Here we go:

SoulSlam email #4
Checked with the league (who is CC'd). Everybody gets 5 home 5 away.
Let me know what works for you to come to LP on May 1.
(So I think this is it. Read on)

Really Dumb Response email #3
I checked with the league to they thought you would accommodate my
request. I think we should play one game in Lafayette. What
works for you?

SoulSlam email #5
A doubleheader in Lincoln Park. As scheduled. We can start anytime after 12 noon.
I'm not giving up a home game at all.

So at that point the league sent this guy a long e-mail that basically told him to play the games in my town like the schedule says. Haven't heard a peep from this idiot since. Funny thing...we played this team last year (lost) and in the game notes I wrote "I really hate this coach".

Perception confirmed. Still waiting on the doubleheader though.
