The Bee is reporting that former Gov. Pete Wilson is being hired by CalExpo to negotiate with the NBA for a potential arena on their site.

Never said it was Nirvana. Just saying it would be worse. But I guess if the Maloofs are paying for it I really don’t care all too much. But I can’t imagine the folks in the surrounding area would be all too thrilled about it. But they might.

Hopefully the Kings don’t get a Cal Expo arena. Seems like it would be a traffic nightmare.

Once the Kings move to calexpo Sacramento can build a baseball stadium at the old ARCO facility. You like? There is already a hole in the ground out there for one.

It opens up opportunities in the big leagues, but probably is not as much fun or challenging.

I know it’s the big league and all… but is a MLB 3rd base coach really a better job than a AAA Manager?

Now we just need the A’s plan for Fremont to fall through, so we can have them move to Sacramento. It would be nice to have another pro team. Besides, Sac is more of a baseball town.

Wow, great for Tony, but he’s leaving behind some big shoes to fill.
