Quick Takes
I was unexpectedly without internet access last week while out of town, thus the complete lack of posts on my part.
Now that I'm back, let's get to it! Thanks for hanging in there.
- I've been reading new Herald metro columnist Myriam Marquez's columns with interest, and up to now I've been quite impressed with her despite no clear bias in favor of Cubans' superiority or justification for supporting terrorists. You know, silly right-wing Cuban stuff.
- That pesky John McCain just won't go away. It says here that this spells big trouble for the globetrotting Barack Obama. Take that for what it's worth.
- I'm happy the Florida Marlins did not acquire Manny Ramirez. Not because of a potential disruption in team chemistry, but because they would have given up a decent chunk of their future for a 2-month rental. The Marlins have a team they can build on (I HOPE), and sacrificing a part of that with no guarantee of a pennant was too much to ask for. Good non-move by the front office.
- In the midst of the housing slump, this Sun-Sentinel article fortells a boom in South Florida right around the corner. Based on history alone, who can argue with this?
- Finally, courtesy of Babalu, a picture from the area my grandfather was born.

Manny Ramirez could have helped this team greatly, without his 2 month rental the Marlins will remain also ran again to the Phillies
He is already paying big dividends to the Dodgers lineup, Joe Torre is not Dummy, he is one of the top 3 managers in the BIGs
That's fine. The Marlins don't have the big bucks the Dodgers have, therefore they can take a shot at Ramirez. I would rather they come in a close second or third and have a contending team for several years to come than give up good young players for someone who will not be around next year.
Fantomas,
There's absolutely no need to post something totally unrelated AND already published and responded to on your blog. That's why I deleted your comment, not because of whether I agree with you or not.
