Lucky 13? I not sure yet but there are more to go

According to post tracking mechanism of this blog, I have written 13 submissions since I started in July.
I have written about my life as a sports writer and what I was hoping for this blog, I have also taken a peek at a variety of sports and those who play in them.
There have also been game stories on this blog among the 13 entries.
Are they the lucky 13? I am not sure but they have given me a starting point with the hope of getting back in the game of writing about sports and those who play them.
As I work on ol' number 14 (this one for those who are wondering) I look at the world of sports and there are a number of issues to look at and make comments about.
I will admit that as I write this, I am listening to a radio station in Hawaii playing top 40 music. No word if Dog the Bounty Hunter is around or the latest bad guy for Hawaii Five-O is around but I am sure they will let me know.
Now that I have rambled about this, that and the other, I think I should comment on something sports related or something that looks like it.
To start, let those that root for the Atlanta Braves give thanks to the baseball gods that Jeffrey Loria is NOT the owner of our team.
For a number of years, Loria was the owner of the Montreal Expos until the end of the 2002 when he sold the club to the other 29 franchise owners and then bought the Florida Marlins from John Henry who led a group that now owns the Boston Red Sox.
The Marlins' owner has gone through managers in a way that would have made George Steinbrenner proud.
Tuesday afternoon was the latest act of Loria as he fired Ozzie Guillen as manager of the now Miami Marlins after what many consider a tumultuous season.
Playing in a new ballpark that is located on the grounds of the old Orange Bowl stadium, the Marlins signed several new players that would give them a chance at contending in the National League East.
The team struggled out of the gate and so did Guillen as he told a magazine that he admired Fidel Castro which is something that doesn't play well in Miami consider there are a number of citizens who moved there from Cuba.
This led to a five game suspension for the usually outspoken Guillen but the Marlins seemed to start playing better and looked the club that was expected but then it all fell apart as a number of players did not hit and the closer Heath Bell kept the store open.
Eventually, the Marlins did a freefall into the cellar of the division and that brings us to this day where the help wanted sign is on the door of Marlins Park or the state of the art restaurant that is in left field.
As for Mr. Loria, his list of managers in Miami is as follows: Guillen, Jack McKeon, Edwin Rodriguez, Fredi Gonzalez (yes it is that Fredi), Joe Girardi (the guy with the Yankees), McKeon again and Jeff Torborg.
Gonzalez was let go after a publicized tift with player Hanley Ramirez which led Bobby Cox to say not so nice things about Loria and the Marlins became the only club to not honor him during the Braves’ skipper’s retirement tour.
Meanwhile, Girardi had a little exchange with Loria in his only campaign and that led to him becoming Yankees manager after a year on FOX.
Again I say thank heavens this guy does NOT, will NOT and should NOT own the Atlanta Braves since he has screwed up two other clubs.
Wonder how the baseball fans in Montreal enjoyed the playoffs that fans of the Washington Nationals attended.
Well I did manage to put something together sports related that had a little comedy and a little tragedy involved.
So much for lucky submission number 14 I suppose.
