Hurricane

Great start for JJ

Couldn't you also listen to it here: http://www.790theticket.com/index.aspx Nope. You can only listen to the game on 790am using a terrestrial radio. 790am's internet stream (including any app or browser) is not allowed to broadcast the game per MLB rights. I can't see why anyone can't afford MLB Gameday Audio, its only $ 19.95 a season. Its definitely worth the money. You can hear the game on there even if you live in Miami.

7:10 EST Sun Life Stadium TV: None Radio: WAXY 790, WAQI 710 Can be seen, sort of [its one of the 8 games on that page], on MLB Game Mix (channel 720-1 on DirecTV) for those with the MLB Extra Innings.

He missed practically all of Spring Training and the first week of the season. He needs the ABs right now to get his timing right. He's probably going to struggle for at least another week or so, but when he gets it going, he's going to put on some fireworks. Should we be worried ? I'm more concerned about Hanley's power right now. We should be REALLY worried ??? :shifty :shifty :shifty :lol I hope this will bury the hatchet with some of you.

Amazing. He is now the male Lindsay Lohan ! :shifty

Samson really needs to stop babbling. "What's attracting people to our ballpark, which makes me so excited about it being in Miami, is the fact we are in Miami. Huh? What will ultimately attract people to the park are things like its beauty, its novelty and a winning team, probably some combination of all of them with the emphasis on winning after the first year or two. The fact that it's in Miami is, well, just a fact and irrelevant. If by "people" he meant companies or sponsors, than he should just say so. Not that that would really have any more validity. And what is "activation?" Does he mean advertising? Does he mean various partnerships, perhaps baseball-related, perhaps not? Just say what you mean, man, lose the meaningless jargon. "For example, there is no more steel, so we're closing out that contractor. That means they've completed all of their work, they're paid and they are off the site. We're almost done with all the concrete, so that becomes finished." That's just silly. There are many, many, many tons of steel, both structural and sheathing, yet to go on the roof. Perhaps it's all delivered to the site, but an off-site steel fabricator was rarely on the site other than when their truck made a delivery. The steel contractor hanging all of that steel will still be around for months. As for concrete, they are nowhere near done. All of the lower field-level sections between the dugouts behind home plate and most of those on the right field line beyond the dugout have yet to be even started to be formed, never mind poured. It'll "become" finished in about 3 months. They can't even start what's left to do until they can withdraw the inside-the-stadium crane that's working on the roof. Why does he say this sort of goofy stuff for attribution? It makes him sound like a used-car salesman at worst, or just incompetent or out of his depth at best. Not that he is, but it would be nice if the main team spokesman for the stadium didn't sound like a moron. Samson has a classic Napoléon Complex. I think he says things just to be noticed. He could be afraid if he doesn't speak out of his azz, he will be ignored due to his rather unimpressive physical build and nerdy looks.

The pub has a nice ring too it. Can't vouch for Publix as a company since we don't have any up in NC as far as I know. Just hopefully the name doesn't change every few years. Only in South Carolina, I believe, but a google search says they are looking to expand into NC. For now, Kroger's, Harris Teeter's, Trader Joe's, and Food Lion (yuck!) will have to do haha. The only Supermarket with a better name than Publix is Loblaws. Not in NC ? Okay I was mistaken I guess. Maybe it was SC they opened up in 1999......

The pub has a nice ring too it. Can't vouch for Publix as a company since we don't have any up in NC as far as I know. Just hopefully the name doesn't change every few years. I thought one opened in Charlotte a few years ago ? If it closed that might be a first. I worked for Publix part time for 22 ½ years (1976 to 1999) and could have sworn one opened there just before I left.

I'd bet against Publix, which is at best a regional brand. Publix has no need for their brand name to be broadcast to New York or Chicago. You're probably looking at a cellphone or computer company. Or (if MLB allows it) a liquor brand - Bacardi, anyone? I haven't read the article yet, however, Publix just seems logical here. It is not a regional brand anymore, they announced they wanted to expand- now with a few stores around south eastern US. I bet it's publix who will sponsor the ballPark. Publix just doesn't have a "few" stores outside of Florida, it has a few dozen. Publix is as far west as Jackson, MS and as far north as NC I believe. I know they are in Alabama, SC, Tenn and Georgia too.

If it were allowed I'd bet hard on Bacardi. Otherwise, maybe an Airline? Southwest? Spirit's already taken. I'd be a JetBlue fan for life if they did it. I already am lol. They're already all over the BankAtlantic Center. Maybe Suntrust? Suntrust, Bacardi & Carnival are all possibilites but more and more Publix is starting to make sense. It could be Sedano's or Winn-Dixie :lol too

The project also is finalizing various configurations for the building for events other than baseball. At some point, the stadium, located in the Little Havana section of Miami, also will be able to handle soccer matches, along with football and basketball games as well as concerts. football and basketball? And yeah I think publix might be it Basketball absolutely. NCAA March Madness has been at Tropicana Field before, so that is no problem. Football possibly, they used to have the Insight.com Bowl (which is run by the Fiesta Bowl people) held at Bank One in AZ, and of course the Emerald Bowl is or was (is it defunct ??) at ATT in San Francisco (the Hurricanes played there in Jan 2009 against U of California). So that is very possible too. I could see as a revenue generator the Orange Bowl people maybe wanting to start a new minor bowl at our field. That is a dead time of the year and it would make some money for the businesses down in that area that start up for the new ballpark. The Marlins, the city & county I am sure will be amenable to anything that can help offset the costs of the new place.

perfect game is done !

and might I add, I get ZERO enjoyment out of a Marlins struggle or loss, but I am not 100% rah-rah for a FO that I believe can be better and has wasted many draft picks, and FA opportunities over the last 5 years. If they had just gotten 2 or 3 of them right, we'd be serious contenders, even with the youth in the starting lineup.

OK I'm a bit out of it can I please inquire where "Should we be worried" came from? Apparently it's the quote of the year About 1/2 of hurricanes posts. 2 threads, and I get killed for it. Whatever No, you get killed for it because you find some sort of sick enjoyment out of seeing us struggle and are always first to post when we do with stuff that makes little to no sense yet when we win, you're nowhere to be found. No true, but if you wish to believe that its your delusion

another guy we should have not let go.....Ross Gload. Front office. Should we be worried? With this FO you should always be worried.

C'mon Donnie

another guy we should have not let go.....Ross Gload.

Time to chase Oswalt off the mound

Walked the pitcher ? :banghead

Folks, we're playing the best team in the division. I really don't know what to tell you. Did you think the Marlins are as good as the Phillies? No, but we can't even compete when we gets starts like we have from Vazquez, no team could, not even the 1927 Yanks.

Lifeless start Well if they respond the way they did after the 1st Atlanta game, I guess we'll be happy by Sunday night.

How many times do we have to see this until Mgnt knows they made a mistake ? It's been two starts. Shut up. This is his 3rd.......but who's counting. Oh and all 3 have been like this........

The only thing I dread more than Vazquez starting is Hurricane posting about Vazquez starting :cool

Javy is not off to a great start this year. If you saw him last year with the Yankees, this shouldn't be a revelation. Okay time for some offense.....lets go and get him a ton of runs.
