Text of the page (random words):
e most part you can t throw a dead cat in most major metropolitan cities without hitting at least half a dozen steinbrenner haters i m not a big fan of loria dating back to his days with the expos but that s neither here nor there loria is a pursuer of fine art and that s where his wealth stems from i imagine his home being filled with paintings by artists i ve never heard of the kind that the guys in ocean s eleven would stage some elaborate heist to steal laser security systems and all that he now pursues the great living legend albert pujols this comes on the heels of signing the biggest closer on the free agent market arguably that is the phillies already sank 50mm into papelbon wow ruben really heath bell for 27mm then he signed former mets shortstop and young star jose reyes to a 6 year 106mm deal the marlins offer to pujols is said to be 10 years somewhere north of 200mm and there s little sign that pujols would be the last deal of the marlins off season if they net this year s free agent big fish according to cot s the marlins opening day payroll has never exceeded 60 4mm and that was in 2005 since then it s been 2006 less than 15mm 2007 30 5mm 2008 21 8mm 2009 36 8mm 2010 47 4mm 2011 57 7mm 2012 a hundred eleventy ba jillion dollars projected i have a background in business which includes economics as well as finance i understand that economic downturns have very little impact on the wealthy so it stands to reason that the fine art industry is healthy and thriving but i m having a hard time understanding where all this money is coming from and i ve got some questions about the legitimacy of its source i get that new stadiums generate revenue check that fans coming to new stadiums and buying fancy schmancy seats in luxury boxes generate revenue revenue is maintained and becomes profit when instead of paying for your new stadium local municipalities and taxpayers bear the financial burden but the fans still have to buy tickets to generate revenue there is no getting around that for the most part anyway the last time the marlins didn t rank dead last in the national league in attendance was 2005 six years ago they ve ranked 13th or worse every year since 1997 5th including 1998 the year after they brought home the franchise s first ever world series course loria held a fire sale and dismantled the team before the champagne was even warm so there was little to draw the fans to come back the next year only twice in marlin s history have they ever drawn more than 2 million 1993 their inaugural season and 1997 it s been 15 years since the marlins have drawn 2 million fans including 1992 when attendance barely finished about 813 000 where in the world is all this money coming from in my house the kids save their allowance every week and they ve been saving for a long time to have enough money for that one wii game they really want i don t think anyone would be surprised to learn that loria has been stashing revenue sharing money particularly in light of some leaked documents from a little while ago maybe he s been saving up for those free agents that he really wants who knows maybe he figured that the grand opening of the new ballpark is the perfect time to unleash the funds from the past several years but i simply can t see how it s sustainable i get that the new fish tank has a roof no rainouts hurricanes unbearable south florida heat and all that sure but if you don t have butts in seats you re going to have to sell your picasso collection to make up for it i believe that some fans would come out to see jose reyes and more would come out to see albert pujols in 2012 and maybe even 2013 and 2014 but i can t help but wonder about the long term sustainability of loria s go after everyone and spend whatever it takes mentality it s irresponsible at best perhaps this is why the marlins their executives and their finances are currently under federal investigation the securities exchange commission is checking into the marlins financing and while no one has been convicted by a jury of peers or anything rarely does the sec open an investigation without good reason this might sound crazy but i m not convinced that most of this money is even really there see madoff bernard loria might just be trying to make a huge splash and trying to win big in the now and do so before federal charges come his way win now fire sale later has never been a problem for him which i suspect is why he is so stingy with no trade clauses for player contracts he wants to be able to dump salary once he decides it s time he may consider what he s doing a robin hood like act in that he believes he is inspiring baseball fans in south florida even if by questionable or illegal means after all mlb stepped in and loaned the dodgers money back in june when it became apparent that frank mccourt s dumb ass wasn t even going to be able to make payroll perhaps loria figures it s all worth it even if it all comes crashing down in a couple years could loria just be setting up one last hurrah the 2012 marlins are bringing some great things to the table a big new revenue stream beautiful new stadium good looking new roster uniforms that well did i mention the beautiful new stadium more links about the marlins fishy financing likely updates are available since the original posts below http www miamiherald com 2011 12 02

at 6 08 am 1 comment tuesday november 29 2011 new gmgagn contest win the 2011 world series dvd contest extended until at least monday 12 05 possibly until mid week get your entry in now for your chance to win before it s too late as an incredibly famous baseball blogger throngs of major media outlets are constantly beating down my door for a few precious minutes of my time when the folks at the a e network asked if i d review their dvd a mlb production of the 2011 world series i decided to have jessica my head personal assistant rearrange my schedule to accommodate their request i rejected the first four productions and they nearly scrapped the entire project based solely on my disgust for the way tony larussa was portrayed ok nothing in that paragraph is true except that i was actually asked to review the official 2011 world series dvd film and write my review of it here the good news for you is that i m also running a contest to win a free copy of said dvd which includes an exclusive bonus disc of game 5 of the nlds the historic carpenter halladay game in typical mlb productions fashion the film is very well done and captivated my attention from the very beginning it opens with some of the most famous highlights and calls in world series history a long drive if it stays fair behind the bag it gets through buckner touch em all joe you ll never hit a bigger home run in your life i don t believe what i just saw the first fifteen minutes or so take us from spring training and the pujols contract wainwright injury drama through the ups downs of the season and into the postseason from there the dvd really dives into the playoff run and takes a real focus on the world series there s such good insight provided by the mini interviews with players managers etc whether you ve got love or hatred few fall in between for joe buck tim mccarver or other broadcasters for me it s tbs i find it really hard to listen to those guys call the games in the division series games you ll be happy with the way this dvd turned out a fantastic mix of the calls from the tv guys local radio guys national radio guys they really did a great job bringing in the voices behind the microphones to life throughout the film it really enhances some of the more exciting moments one particular thing that jumped out at me that the dvd showed was a little glimpse into just how smart of a baseball player albert pujols is he talks about his expectations in an at bat against mike gonzalez in game 3 albert talks about how he remembered the way gonzalez pitched him during his days in the national league and expected heat which he got and promptly deposited that pitch into the seats he also talks about knowing he was going to see a cutter later in a sequence in another at bat very insightful stuff trust me if you re a fan of the game of baseball you will love this dvd for the historical reasons and all the significance surrounding what unfolded from august 25th through the end of october unless you re a die hard texas rangers fan and trust me there s a part of me that even as a cardinals fan agonizes with that fan base you ll enjoy watching this over and over again this dvd needs to be in your collection and it can be you can click the banner and buy a copy well worth every cent you can click here or you can enter the gmgagn contest and win a free copy so you wanna win of course you do here s what you re gonna need to do put on your hindsight goggles and tell me what you d be willing to do if you could go back in time and attend game 6 of the 2011 world series arguably the most exciting world series game ever played what would you be willing to do if you could ve been there let s hear it contest will run all week i ll shut it down sunday evening sometime 12 04 11 honestly i m not going to put a hard fast time as the deadline to have your submission in if you ve waited until sunday evening to submit it it s safe to assume you re cutting it close believe me though i m not out to hose ya i wish i had dozens of copies to give away it s that good one entry per household must be 18 or older and a resident of the united states no takes y backs y and i m rubber you re glue ok let s hear what ya got posted by dathan at 6 03 am 8 comments thursday july 21 2011 contest winner announced ya know i thought about writing a new blog and dropping several kilograms of knowledge on you by sharing my opinions about the upcoming trade deadline can you tell i think toronto might be involved but then i realized that you probably aren t coming here for my thoughts and ideas about baseball you only care about whether or not you won the free cardinals tickets sniff sniff at the very least i m going to make you scroll through some of the finalists before you learn whether or not it s you who will be taking a guest sweating your insert your choice of anatomy here off at busch stadium next week obviously i can t post all of the submissions here there s simply not enough time space for them some were actually quite clever funny etc but had to be disqualified as they didn t prove to be valid available so in no particular order here are a few of the submissions i thought you might enjoy one of my favorites and the runner up but the one that i just had to go with and award the figurative blue ribbon and literal pair of cardinals tickets goes to this lovely gem dude seriously how can i not pick that one there s no way you had as much fun with this as i did but i hope you at least got some enjoyment out of it i also hope you ll consider coming back from time to time and check out my ramblings on the greatest game of all time i also write a weekly column over on i70baseball com so check out my work over there too if you re so inclined thanks for visiting posted by dathan at 5 31 pm 2 comments thursday june 23 2011 contest win cardinals tickets so here s the deal i m a cardinals fan and like many of us i happen live in illinois nevermind the fact that busch stadium is 25 minutes from my kitchen it s still illinois therefore i m unable to show my passionate fanhood by having specialized cardinals license plates so i can t have cardinals plates that read things like 10 x champs ten rings stl chc etc on my vehicle i figure the next best thing would be to order specialized cubs tags with something derogatory towards them pressed into the metal plate a plate likely to have been hammered out personally by one of my former governors my license plates will soon be due for renewal and i d like to replace my current ones with some specialty cubs plates that are sure to make cards fans grin smile or even laugh out loud or make a cubs fan cry when they see them in traffic there are certain limitations as to what you can request and there are certain letter number combinations that are disallowed as well i wanted 1908 lol for example but it s not a valid combination i d hate to choose something only to chat with someone a week later and have them say oh you should ve gotten ______ and live with regretting my choice that s where you come in here s the contest choose my next license plate come up with the best submission and a pair of tickets to an upcoming cardinals home game is yours on me you ll need to go to the il secretary of state s pick a plate website and highlight the suv icon on the left side then choose specialty then cubs and you re off to the races there s a difference between vanity personalized so pay close attention best submission determined solely by me wins enter as many times as you like just know that in the event of duplicate submissions i will be forced to come up with some ridiculous tiebreaker that will mostly serve the purpose of self amusement ok here s what you need to do go to the website make sure the plate you want to submit is both valid available take a screenshot of your plate with confirmation that it s both valid available if you re unsure how to take a screenshot check these out save the screenshot s as a picture s and email it to dathan sportsvacationguys com wait the contest will end at the conclusion of the mlb all star game on july 12 the winner will be notified via email shortly thereafter and announced on this blog within a few days if there are enough entries i may also toss in a runner up prize as consolation what are you waiting for get started now posted by dathan at 6 54 pm no comments tuesday may 31 2011 leagues divisions schedules teams interleague etc i ve read a blog or two in recent weeks and this morning a discussion sparked up on twitter that i am particularly fond of discussing not because i think i have all the right answers or even have a couple of the right answers i think the topic is an awful lot of fun to discuss so i m hopeful that we can engage in a fuller more than 140 at a time fun educated informed etc discussion about my friend tom at cardinalsgm tweeted the following which summarizes greatly what i m hopeful we can discuss here via comments both leagues and divisions should have equal number of teams this is a no brainer and foundational to fairness also said he d cut 2 teams return to 2 division in each league free a team to relocate to nyc i came across a blog over at redbirdrants com if you re not familiar you should definitely check it out that had this particular thread going so leave your comments below link to other articles on this topic or just let your opinions fly this...
