Heath Bell Can't Pitch, LoMo Can't Catch, Marlins Blow Another Z Win, Lose 5-4

[Big Z]

They are made to order. I have to think that you might've just gotten a poorly made one. (Properly cooking shrimp is a little more prone to error than chicken tenders or hot dogs).

I think the texture is what completely turned me off.

[Party]

I need to really come and just accept that this team will score multiple runs in an inning and then just shut down. 5 runs is the glass ceiling.

Also the swirling wind with the roof and panels open today made the top deck freezing. Also was one of the few times I reacted to a deep fly ball thinking it was gone but it barely reached the warning track which was the ball Hanley hit. I was about 99% sure that thing was gone.

[Party]

When Hanley hit that deep fly ball I kept yelling, "That thing is gonna go off!"

The park was really swirling in the ballpark. The flags in center were blowing all over the place and the banners closest the window was blowing hard all day.

The crowd was great too.

I didn't notice it until last night but the window in left has a major magnifying effect when sitting behind home or 1st baseline. Sky line looks right there. When you go out to the concourse in left the buildings are much much further away. Check this out next time there.

After your scheduled fight.

I emailed Samson to know where the fight can be held. He should get back to me shortly.

Has anyone seen the OB memorial thing in the West Plaza? South side right up against the SW garage. There is a plaque commemorating the Orange Bowl surrounded by benches and seats from the OB. The mural that was on the west side of the stadium is also displayed on the garage. It's a cool little area I hadn't previously seen.

The OB letters on the east plaza are a big hit for people looking to take pictures.

I'm not quite sure why the roof and panels were open with such significant wind.

[MiamiHomer]

Because they are turds. The only people that were hitting balls out during BP were the left handed hitters. Righties had to really blast to to just get it out.

I'm not quite sure why the roof and panels were open with such significant wind.

It was great weather for the fans.

[Beef]

Probably because it was a nice night (perhaps not so much for baseballs to fly when you have a roof to utilize). But it was real nice out and the park is gon look so much nicer and feel nicer when the roof can be open at night.

[Party]

It was a nice night out. I don't want to play under the roof because of wind.

Another side note: they bought a tarp after the rain issue during the Yankees series. The truck delivering it was parked near the centerfield gate as we came in.

Also for great parking, park at the courthouse on the curb. $5.00 total and there is a cop stationed there.

No one was biting at the $20 parking lots. Looks like the market is beginning to correct itself.

[Swifty]

I found it kind of cold (and I don't think I'm alone there) and it pretty clearly affected play. At least close the panels.

[MiamiHomer]

I want to enjoy baseball without the external elements affecting it. I'm annoyed that two games I've gone to and I haven been able to enjoy a game with the roof closed. I was bothered by how cold I was in my seat. I had to hold my damn hat from flying off too.
