Sports Injuries, Fred Grimm, and Our Miami Dolphins
Jose Fernandez, 21 and ace pitcher of the Miami Marlins was placed on the disabled list and may need Tommy John surgery for injured ligaments in his elbow. He will probably be done for the season and longer as recovery from this kind of injury takes a long time. The Marlins were trying their best with this pitcher. Last year his season ended early because they didn't want to strain his golden arm and this year he left a couple of games early to again avoid straining his arm. The kid from Cuba is a great story and he has a following. People would make efforts to go to the park to see him pitch, a la Kerry Woods of the Cubs. Maybe next year or the year after.
Fred Grimm, the Miami Herald's answer to Mike Royko commenting about new plans for Watson Island and the one percent: "Not Miami. We've not only come to terms with stark inequalities of wealth distribution, we've made it a growth industry to fawn over and grovel to." Watson Island a public space on Biscayne Bay will become home to 50 or so super yachts. Miami ranks seventh in catering to utra high net wealth individuals. The slips will allow for angle parking which is preferable I guess to parallel parking. This is a public works project for a tiny group of folks. I hope it works out better than the local stadium deals for our major league teams. The project will be privately financed and I wonder how close the public will be able to get to Watson Island once completed
Football wise the Dolphin have fined two players for tweets about Michel Sams, the first openly gay player in the NFL. Civility makes good sense these days, if you are civil in manners, you really don't need to worry about being politically correct. If you can't say something nice, keep your mouth shut and for god's sake don't hit the send button.
