Let me say this about the stadium: There has been very little progress towards a new stadium. And, I was thinking the other day, reflecting back on the last four years, if any of the thousands of fans -- good fans -- who were on that World Series parade route were in touch with their elected officials and expressed their desire to keep the team in South Florida, and keep it going, it probably would have been done by now. I'm very surprised that it hasn't been done by now, especially with our contribution. That's really all I want to say about it. We have options, and we're looking at all our options right now. |
Look at that smile! You ever seen a smile like that? |
Our talks with San Antonio are serious. We like what we see and will continue this process. But like all processes it takes time, and we want to be thorough and deliberate. |
People don't understand. At 4 o'clock, every afternoon, it rains. Or the threat of rain comes. It's very hard to go to a baseball game. It's very tough to convince fans to spend your evenings at the ballpark. |
Purely a factor of the weather. If we get a new park, with a dome, where people know they won't be rained on, they'll come out. I believe in this market. |
Read my lips — they're serious. |
San Antonio is a very viable market, and they are very serious. It's one of the options that we have to consider. |
San Antonio is a very viable market, and they're very serious. Read my lips -- they're serious. |
San Antonio is a very viable market. If we can't play here, we'll play somewhere else. |
The commissioner took a lot of heat for his enthusiasm for the wild card. Turns out it's great for the game. We could end up with the fourth-best record and not make the playoffs. Hopefully our guys will do what they have to do. |
The faces. God, the faces. |
The first day at school is always an exciting day but it's also new and different. They'll pass this in 48 hours and they'll be big leaguers. |
the right guy at the right time. |
The weather always impacts hundreds of thousands of people, |
There's been very little progress. It would be nice if all those fans who had maybe been part of that [2003 World Series] parade route ... said something to their elected officials about their desire to keep baseball here. |
