Stadium News - Sort of

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 1:28 PM EDT in News and Rumors

The county is voting on the Marlins stadium today.

The deliberations started at 1:00 p.m. So here is the link if you want to follow along.

Since I'm running really late on this I won't say much of anything else, with the exception of if you cant listen to broadcast live, Sarah Talalay may live blog it. She did for the city's meetings.

No not really,

we are still in the citizens comment phase. While I would like to think that mattered, it honestly won’t change anyone’s opinion.

so sly stallone

is in favor.

Not there yet, my broadcast decided it needed a break

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 2:31 PM EDT up reply actions

"real jobs now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I’d almost vote in favor of that, since a “real job” would have kept them from the meeting today like it did me.

Are you still on the air?

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 2:35 PM EDT up reply actions

unfortunately, those three hours in the AM are just a little warm-up for the real work I get to do the rest of the day. ;)

the way this server is working

by jrsyeagle on Mar 23, 2009 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions

I was going to ask if I missed anything...

…but I’m guessing this means no.

by dan 2.0 on Mar 23, 2009 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions

oh, david samson.

I almost don’t dislike you right now.

by GameFish on Mar 23, 2009 4:22 PM EDT reply actions

The strange thing is that Samson has almost been human....

publicly in front of the commissioners.

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 4:33 PM EDT up reply actions

re: Samson

booooooooooooo.

Wait, no, I actually had something to say. Sorry, force of habit. Anyway, what I was going to say is that I will withhold any positive characterizations of Samson until he appears almost human during a situation that doesn’t potentially involve his being given more than $300 million.

by dan 2.0 on Mar 23, 2009 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions

good call, dan.

my emotions ran away with me for a second there. excited about the potential of a ballpark and all.

Did anyone else lose the CBS4 feed?

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 5:14 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah I just got back froma meeting and its gone

by jrsyeagle on Mar 23, 2009 5:22 PM EDT up reply actions

same thing here...

I’m back to the county’s crappy feed.

by craig on Mar 23, 2009 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions

my county feed has gotten better though

Also, our over under is going to be close…

by jrsyeagle on Mar 23, 2009 5:40 PM EDT up reply actions

wrong thread, I know, but...

…since everyone is hanging out here anyway…

I emailed Jayson Stark about the combined no-hitter and whether it could actually be the first spring no-no on record. If anyone can determine such a thing, it’s Stark. He was good about getting back to me the other time I asked him something, but as I recall, I used his personal email because I couldn’t find his official one at the time. This one may just go to some intern for all I know.

by dan 2.0 on Mar 23, 2009 5:28 PM EDT reply actions

I emailed stark once

through his espn email and he got back to me and I had emailed about writing tips on my blog

by jrsyeagle on Mar 23, 2009 5:39 PM EDT up reply actions

We've sure thrown a lot of -no-hitters in a short period of time.

Think about it. We’ve been around not even 16 years, and we’ve already gotten 5 no-nos: Al Leiter, Kevin Brown, A.J. Burnett, Anibel Sanchez and now Nolasco and company. Yes, I know a spring no-hitter isn’t the same, but a no-hitter ANYTIME is darn impressive.
