Marlins win city vote

The Florida Marlins won this morning's Miami city commission vote on a new stadium, by a 4-1 margin. City commissioners were reportedly pleased by the stadium financial report they received last weekend, or at least by the opportunity to use lots of baseball talk:

"Today, we are in the ninth inning," city commission Chairman Joe Sanchez said. "The bases are loaded. We have two outs, we're three runs down, we have two strikes, and I believe we have a great opportunity to hit this ball out of the ballpark."

The county commission should be meeting right about now - more word on what inning they're in as it becomes available.
