Threatening posters with "big bad Pete" as the blog-police is childish and degrades this blog. I have been a follower of Pete's blog from the beginning. I have been aggravated by the pompous pontificating of SJ to a point where I commented negatively about it several times. Finding that I was not making any impact I took the advice of SJ and others to just ignore his posts. That has worked nicely until recent days. So much of this blog is wasted (notice correct spelling Brandon) first on sniping at SJ and then his rebuttals and his supporters sniping at the snipers that I am forced to read his post to find out what it was he said to upset the readership. So now I have to not only ignore his posts but every post that refers to him. This self-censorship cuts out most of the enjoyment of being here so I am taking a sabbatical. I'll check back in later months or years to see if sanity has returned here. Bye bye!! This idea that anyone posting anti-SJ is a troll and/or should be banned is ludicrous.

Yes, but very good young arms are also very nice to have (Check,Rays). I would agree to trade for him but not those two, we need them. I do like LaPorta a lot though, go after him if possable. 27/08?

They are probably thinking that new stadiums mean construction jobs and a residual, trickle down, shot in the arm to the local economy, maybe in the form of restaurants or other team and game related development. But I agree with you at least as to the Marlin stadium deal. It's going to be a disappointment in the long run, although it might be a real improvement in the immediate neighborhood. But with winning baseball being played in Tampa these days, the Rays may make a go of their deal yet. Let the fans see if it stays good past the All Star Break and then let's see the attendance numbers. ham fighter:

It's like trying to fill a hole in the wall with silly putty, lotion, or soft soap. I don't know what the point of getting/debating these late inning replacements will be if Giambi (because of his $20 million albatross contract) and Matsui (because of his hot bat) will be playing if at all possible. lane, broussard, ensberg… none of them will be helpful.

the marlins and rays have the best records in baseball and currently sit 30th(marlins) and 28th (rays) in attendance.

meanwhile the state’s schools are rated about as low as thier team’s attendance.

despite the ray’s contention that ‘only’ $75M will be spent on the ray’s new home, analysts for the st pete times calculated it at more than half the total cost of the project.

in miami, where the fans have proven they wont come even to see a winning team, the #’s are even worse.

its (mostly) thier money, but i dont think id want to be making those investments myself.
