fishfan46 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Looking at the webcam it's just dirt. But it's a cool stunt to get everyone talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can't wait to hear how many bombs Stanton will hit out there. A sneak peak for 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asabater Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I don't see how it will be ready for that in 2 weeks, something seems wrong here.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfan46 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 It won't be ready. But it will drum up some attention, it will be something that the media will cover, a few players hitting while the place is still under construction. I'm just dreading the possibility of a "Mike Stanton will miss the first month of the season after developing lockjaw from stepping on a nail during batting practice at the new stadium construction site" story.

Ehh... I think there'd be a bit more to worry about than a month of baseball if someone were to get Tetanus... it's a potentially fatal disease.

SilverBullet Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Crap, the roof isnt done yet! What if Stanton shatters part of the structure after its belted by one of his bombs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnellders Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here is an awesome picture taken within the stadium looking towards the city. Got it from LoMo's Twitter: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfan46 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I saw that, and was thinking how awesome this place has the potential to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, if Tetanus goes untreated early the latter treatments can be pretty painful, but not a big deal nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good time to leave Miami (at least 5 years for me). Edit: Is that the LCD screen I see on the far right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not fatal as it used to be... but it probably still has a high mortality rate (something like %5-10 I'd guess). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Beinfest Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Yeah that's considerably fatal... and yeah, I put the % in front of the number, big whoop, wanna fight about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well not fatal as it used to be... but it probably still has a high mortality rate (something like %5-10 I'd guess). Yeah I get what you're saying. I was just trying to make a point that anyone with access to medical care shouldn't die from tetanus. Of course this isn't the case with the aforementioned 7-11% of the cases in the US. By the way the number of cases each year barely reaches 40 and most of those are probably 'injecting-drug users' (what they call them).

Dr Beinfest Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Point, but we're not arguing medical stuff right now. You were making your point, and while yeah, he wouldn't die, there's always that small chance of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why, but I'm actually surprised it's that high. Of course now that you say it I guess I can see the reasons why, just not something I would have guessed. I get a booster shot every couple of years and you don't even need to see a doctor to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridafly Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm guessing the majority of the people that died are in 3rd world counties without available medical care and what not. Or people that just had it undiagnosed. But I think that if you get to a doctor on time, Tetanus is no big deal anymore. Plus, I love all this Wikipedia quoting! Brings me back to my Middle School years when entire research papers were done on Wikipedia and I would just paste the URL in my bibliography :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
