Random Ramblings January 2011

Welcome to 1 and all.It's been a while since we have done one of these..And I am quite sure we will not run out of things to talk about...

Hagerstown Suns Charge For Parking...

Yes it's only 1 dollar..But the fact that they have now raised ticket prices,AND are charging for parking.. Makes me believe that the new General Manager won't be in Hagerstown next year...

I understand most of the stuff they are doing is probably related to the Suns"Hoping" that they get prized prospect Bryce Harper(#1 Nationals,And #3 Milb prospect).. But What happens As Shawn has pointed out could happen, If Harper somehow wows the Nationals,And gets promoted long before anyone would have thought?I will tell you what happens..Hagerstown loses out on 100's if not thousands of tickets they normally could sell.. But Mike,Wouldn't fans come out anyways? Not really.. If you increase tickets by at least 3 dollars in a section that has been General Admission since the dawn of time,And then start charging to park on the Muni lot..You think in this economy people are going to spend money they really don't have? Baseball games are not something you HAVE to do...And I am willing to bet the Suns front office will find this out by seasons end,New Video board and all..

Thousands trapped in cars as Snowmaggedon hits the area...

I am not making that number up.. People were stuck in cars on all the major interstates(Except I-81 for some reason).Here's the thing,The federal government let employees leave 2 -3 hours early.Now most of them usually leave around 3 or 4.. So they "should have well on their way home right? Not so much.. What happened was a cluster fuck of biblical proportions.. Major interstates turned into parking lots for over 12 hours.. Snowplows unable to clear roads, Because of the cars,And trucks on the road..This after being told to stay off the roads...

There is really 1 fast way to fix this.. If they tell you stay off the roads,And you JUST have to go to the fucking mall(Which is probably closed anyways)You should be fined if a police officer sees you driving on snow covered roads..Yes I know,That is kind of harsh..Tell that to the people who,Through no fault of their own,Had to sit on  a snow covered road possibly with no heat for 10 hours plus..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally.. I went through this season NFL pick ems,And quite honestly I was shocked to see I amassed a 52-29 record(Regular season) record..
I know you are wondering when I will do the Super Bowl pick.. That will be next week.. Like you don't know who I am going to pick!!!

Until then.. Goodbye..And buy bond.................

I agree,Mike.
If the snow emergency is in effect and unless you are going to or from work,then nail them for hindering the road cleanups.

This might be exactly what is needed to speed cleanup,avoid accidents and keep things moving quickly...

And honestly..People SHOULD have enough common sense to realize it is bad..But no.. They just go out like nothing is wrong,And they can not drive in snow anyways.. I have over 20 years exp in driving in this shit, And I honestly would not go out in the middle of a snow storm unless it was an emergency..

Hi!

While there was a mention of $1 parking in an entry on the Suns website, it's not 100% clear where that information came from. Parking is FREE at Municipal Stadium (aside from the valet parking that is being trialed). The website content has been changed as of today to reflect that.

Go Suns!

Wow, sometimes outrage really does work! Kudos to the Suns, and to Mike!

Glad to see someone is checking things on the site. I know $1.00 isn't alot.. But you would be surprised how many people were upset.. Good Job Suns!!
