I hate to say it, but I don't really care about those Marlins. They practically traded their entire lineup.
-
Because if the Organization & City doesn't care about the Team...then why should the fans.
The Organization just had a fire sale and the city won't give the team a home to play in.
The Marlins are my favorite NL team.
But I just cannot take another Rebuilding period.
The team that the Marlins would have fielded this year would have been a contender. I mean this team just recently won it's 2nd World Series.
Jeff Loria is a cancer and MLB should strip him of his team and no longer offer a team to any group which he's a part of."After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?' I said, Mr. Barrow, there is only one answer to that - Mr. Gehrig is terribly underpaid."- Yankees outfielder Joe DiMaggio

The stores were filled with Dolphins mercandise, but no baseball merchandise.
When I look to this board and to yours, and when I think of the story of my brother in law, I can only come to one conclusion: Baseball just is not popular in Florida.Too bad.

With the way things seem to be going, this forum will soon be moved to the 'Teams of YesterYear'.
I hope that doesn't happen because no fans deserve to lose a team. But with Loria at the helm and Selig in his usual daze, I just don't see things working out in FLA. Hope for the fans sake I'm wrong.Montreal Expos 1969 - 2004

charge outrageous prices for everything from tickets to hot dogs to jerseys
($150 for an authentic jersey?:grouchy ), players charge for autographs,
then go where they get more money. Teams then demand fans build them
stadiums...Baseball is in a sad state...

Originally posted by brooklynboyPoint well taken about the franchises themselves...Give the fans a winner and they will come!!!!
I know some teams that have NONE or just ONE in the last 80 years.
This team was still a good contender IF they hadn't traded any pieces and kept the same team it had."After my fourth season I asked for $43,000 and General Manager Ed Barrow told me, 'Young man, do you realize Lou Gehrig, a 16-year-man, is playing for only $44,000?'
