that’s a disgrace

And yet that city has more world series rings than SF

Sweet fancy Moses

The “fans” of this team should be ashamed of themselves. Tell me how it’s fair that they have 2 championships in the past 11 years, and the Giants, who fill the ballpark every night despite the crap that’s put in front of us, have none in 50 years. There is no way in hell they deserve a new stadium. This team should be moved to Canada or something. Heat is no excuse for such a shoddy showing. The Fresno Grizzlies put out more fans than that in the 110 degree summer heat!

on a side note, has anyone heard anything about this?

From Wikipedia:

In recent years, the Marlins ownership has pushed for a new stadium and recently agreed to a plan with Miami-Dade commissioners and the city of Miami to build a $515 million ballpark on the site of the legendary Miami Orange Bowl. As part of the deal, the Marlins in the future will be known as the “Miami Marlins”.

Then, when (if) the build the stadium and start having 9,000 showing up every game, people will be complaining that it wasn’t as good as when it was just the die-hard 600 there. All those new casual fans ruining the experience….

The Marlins Ownership

Is a scourge. They make something like 20 million a season before they even sell a ticket due to revenue sharing.

revenue sharing:

kind of a silly idea, but i guess it helps.

Helps them take advantage of the situation.

Buy a Franchise, don’t pay your players anything, and rake in the revenue sharing checks.

If ever there were a team that probably requires a dome… It’s the D-bags. But a close second might just be the Marlins.

Yeah. The rain and lightning storms there are bizarre. They come out of nowhere. The humidity can be brutal too.

Zooperstars, they quack me up!
