Sports and Sporting
This morning went better than yesterday because bedtime was earlier and things weren't so rushed.
The Marlins are at .500 and the Cubs are in last place in their division 14 games below .500.
The Marlins on one hand seem to have overachieved and on the other hand could have been a real contender had they not lost their ace Jose Fernandez to Tommy John surgery for the year and maybe a little more.
Giancarlo Stanton is being mentioned for most valuable player, maybe only in Miami, but he has had a powerful year. He has hit at least seven home runs that were over 450 feet and one of his last ones might have left Marlins Park had the windows been open.
The Marlins still struggle attendance wise but it isn't for lack of trying on the field.
On another front, Dania Jai Alai Casino may be closing down for a period up to one year while they finish a big remodeling job. The Hallandale Beach area may have reached the saturation point for gambling venues, at least during the off season. The dog track, horse tracks and the Fronton all have slot machines and the Fronton may have come to the conclusion that they need to regroup, and rebrand themselves to compete in a very competitive market.
Football season will be starting for real in about two weeks and I'm looking forward to horses returning to Hialeah Park. I'm looking forward to that almost as much as I'm looking forward to turning off the air conditioning and opening the windows.
