It is by JdJO but doesn't seem to have any of his opinions.

Springtime for Arizona? Sounds more like posturing on the Astros' part to get Palm Beach Gardens and the county to speed up their decision-making process.

Is it just me, or has JdJO improved a little bit? I follow him on twitter, and he actually has had some good and sensible things to say.

Now you've done it.  You've finally stunned everyone into silence.

My wife and I were in Pheonix for the Fiesta Bowl and really loved the area.   Great hiking and nature excursions, everything felt new and clean.  We said if the Astros move here for ST, we'll for sure come for a visit.

Just in case you thought Jim Crane couldn't be less relatable to Joe and Jane Astrofan,

Astros owner Jim Crane has ties to the area as the owner of a golf course in Palm City, Fla., about 40 minutes north of Palm Beach Gardens.

You aren't a part-owner in a golf resort in Florida?

I would have disagreed with you until I went to AZ for ST last year. It was great. Clubs within miles of each other.

Yep.  15 teams at 10 stadiums, so there are 5 spots open to hop on with another team.

I had only been to Florida until last year. As I said, you were right.

WPB City Council stops working on the site, but the county commissioner is leading the search for a new sit.
