Rudimentary jounalistic research would show that imploding buildings is illegal in NYC (see, hal, in NYC, unlike Cincy, there is the potential of other structures of value being nearby) and that Shea will be demolished the odl fashioned way, by wrecking balls, cranes, etc. Yes, Hal is such a great and thorough reporter that he writes they will be blowing up Shea and he wants to press the plunger.

Petco is nice as well, and located right in the middle of a fun area. Great American is as bad as a new stadium can be. Plus, it's in Cinci....ew. I found Safeco to be a bit better than Coors.

But I'm bored at work and since he was ripping on Shea, he was an easy mark. My guess is that most people here are doing the same thing. It's kinda like making fun of your kid. It's okay if you do it, but if someone else does it they're gonna get a word or two back. Shea is like our kid. Our dirty, ugly, smelly kid. But our kid nonetheless.

The great writers always make it interesting to read about a crappy team and that's what Hal does. No doubt it is, but he still is a great writer.
