Irene....Makes Her Presence Felt
Hurricane Irene.....is making her presence felt....
Even if it means empty seats in South Beach.
Yesterdays' game between the Florida Marlins and the Cincinnati Reds drew....
347 fans!
From the blog, "Big League Stew":
The Florida Marlins and Cincinnati Reds almost found out on Wednesday afternoon.
According to @790Justin, there was an unofficial headcount of 347 fans in the stands for the first pitch of Wednesday's doubleheader at Sun Life Stadium. Justin Cohen counted five sections with three or fewer people in it and three completely empty sections. The Marlins haven't announced the official attendance, but it likely won't challenge the record of the smallest crowd in modern history (believed to be 653 during a Oakland Athletics game in 1979).
That's because the Marlins will count all of the tickets that were sold, not just the number of fans that moved through the turnstiles. Back in 2007, someone counted 375 fans in the stands for the first pitch of an afternoon Marlins game in mid-September and the "official" attendance announced by the team was still 10,121.
UPDATE: The Marlins must see dead people. They announced the doubleheader's official attendance as 22,505 fans.

This Snow Stuff......is no Longer Fun......
Enough already......
So......the "White Christmas" was a novelty.....beautiful.....and fun.
But this latest blast .......8 to 10 inches....is trying our patience .
On I-285 in the ATL........18 wheelers.......about 300 strong....were stuck for over 24 hours....waiting for the Georgia DOT to clear the ice and snow.
And ..."Yours Truly" ....has been stuck at home........since Sunday. I'm going "stir crazy"!
I have seen one.......1.........snow plow truck. I don't own a snow shovel....
The good news is we didn't lose satellite or power. And we have food.
But.........if I wanted this much snow......I would have stayed in upstate New York!
And now the Hawks game has just been canceled.

This Weather is..."Frightful"
Frozen Roads Cause 1000+ Wrecks in Metro Atlanta
Yes......yours truly was caught up in this mess....
Early this mourning......had to go to Tennessee.....Chattanooga to be exact.
I counted at least 35 cars....people left....on the side of I75 ....north of the ATL.
Lucky for me......I came through with no direct hits.....no accidents.
Just icy roads.....and my head on a swivel......avoiding the other idiots.
Don't we just love the south?

"Oh, the Weather Outside is Frightful"......
Could it be?
An NFL .....postponement .....due to snow?
Stay tuned........
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)—The New York Giants are having trouble getting to Minnesota for their game against the Vikings.
Heavy, blowing snow in the Twin Cities area closed the airport Saturday afternoon, forcing the Giants’ charter flight to land in Kansas City.
Team spokesman Pat Hanlon said on Twitter the traveling party was biding time in the terminal by playing cards and video games and listening to music, with a plan to move to a bigger space that would allow for a pregame walkthrough.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Sunday’s game was still scheduled to start at 1 p.m. EST. The Giants were hoping to travel to Minnesota on Saturday night, but Aiello said if that isn’t possible the team’s plan would be to fly on Sunday morning.
