San Jose Earthquakes Stadium - Build it NOW! (The Home Stretch)

Sorry, but reading that gave me a flash back to my younger days, listening to the Kermit Shafer's bloopers (http://www.musicstack.com/records-cds/kermit+schafer). There was one that ended with a line: "all eyes are on her as she picks her seat"...

 

As a proper gentleman, you say "Ma'am, may I help you with that?"

 

We could create our own version of Bay to Breakers: Let the serious runner people go first, the uh, not so serious behind. Bring the Beer Floats down here, we'll bring the BAQF. Street Party in Newhall!

 

A couple of BS members are old enough to remember that there was a time when bloopers of this sort could only happen on radio and the only way they could be shared was in books. When I was in high school, our library had a book that had radio broadcast announcer bloopers written in it.

Some might recall that the famous St. Louis Cardinals' pitcher Dizzy Dean did play by play on the radio (as well as on TV through the early 60s). Supposedly, during one game he was telling the radio audience of a young couple at the game who were obviously in love. I will paraphrase, but the book read something like "the lovebirds have their own game, as he is kissing her on the strikes and she is kissing him on the balls". Of course, with today's 6 second delay (or however long it is nowadays), the listeners would never hear such a thing, which is probably too bad. We've become so sterile is so many ways.

This has nothing to do with the stadium, but after postings that now number literally in the thousands, what is there left to say anyway? Just build the da*m thing.

 

I had a friend who worked at KIRO-TV in Seattle in the 70's who swore this happened on the air. One night the weatherman made a prediction for some substantial snowfall. The next night, after the much anticipated storm failed to materialize, the newswoman on the desk, Sandy Hill (who later went on to do national news) turned to the weatherman and said, "So, Harry, what happened to the 6 inches you promised me last night?" Supposedly they had to cut to and run about 5 minutes of commercials before the rest of the news team could compose themselves.

 

There was a pretty recent gaffe during the summer olympics a few years ago. A female commentator was describing the team bicycling competition and she said something like, "In order to win, the rider in front needs to be breaking a lot of wind..."

I remember hearing about the KIRO screwup...

 

This stuff is great.

 

Good thing they realize the best grass grows in California.

 

Now we know what your indulgences are.

 

So, this is what Goodsport has meant all along about properly-sized natural grass?

 

smokin!

 

Ba-dum-bum.

It won't let me rep ya, but that time I laughed.

Crap, I was too late.

Thanks for the Megga Rasta Man

Really? Do you have a time machine that allows you to travel to the future, see our new stadium, and compare it to this one? If so, please post pics, if not, how about a nice warm cup of....

 

Is that your seat right behind one of those posts?

 

They have the same "gap" problem we do.

 

Actually, I looked into my crystal ball and saw into the future....

 

Did everybody see kaval's latest blog post? Quakes are having 2 planned meetings per week to discuss designs (i.e. Pressbox, concessions, etc). Hopefully we'll see some new drawings soon.

 

They are having at least two meetings a week, which seems to imply that sometimes they have more than 2 meetings in a week.

Posted a couple pages ago: Kaval's Kickoff

And why do they have to stand during these meetings? Can they not afford chairs?



I once worked for a company that did not have chairs in their conference rooms. This was to encourage brief meetings. That company is no longer around.

 

I have worked at similar companies that are still around. Agile development calls for daily standup meetings, where there are no chairs. That way, you say only what you need to, and otherwise, keep your yap shut.

But here he means meetings that are on the schedule and must be attended, as opposed to ad hoc meetings that come up as necessary.

Cool!! We're making progress.

GOOOO QUAAAAAAKES!!!!!!
FUAEG!!!

I sympathize the guy who will take notes (and possibly sketches) while standing.

 

That seat picking of yours is why I moved to the other side of the stadium!
