Just a quick post today to let people know where things stand.  There’s really not much to say at this point, other than that we are keeping the pressure on and that more meetings are being scheduled - we expect our focus to narrow in the next couple of weeks due to the time pressure that the Can-Am League faces.  I encourage you to continue writing City council and the mayor and ask them to act on this issue - one way or the other, quickly.  It seems ludicrous to leave the only prospective tenant out in the cold, simply because no one appears empowered to act in the circumstances.  Does the City’s legal department call the shots for Ottawa?  I don’t believe anyone in that department was elected. 

Thanks to all the emailers who’ve taken time to send along support, at this point though, I’m reluctant to get too far into the nuts and bolts of what’s going on.  There’s another website set up here which I recommend everyone take a look at.

In other, actual baseball news, it was nice to see a bunch of Former Lynx Players (tagged:FLP) get into the act last night in the Phillies 14 inning win over St. Louis.  Clay Condrey, Geoff Geary and J.D. Durbin worked five innings of scoreless relief with Clay picking up the save.  It’s always interesting for me to get Zak’s perspective of these guys given that he worked with them on a few occassions this year.  Chris Roberson was a prankster, John Ennis was the guy who explained to him that no two baseballs were the same… - what a season ”the boy” had.

Memories for a lifetime, to be sure.
