Origional Marlin Fan

Repost from another thred: April 6, 2013 - 11:31 AM Warning - this may be a bit too radical for some fans of South Florida Baseball!!! Humor? Thinking outside of the diamond, something occurred to me that may be radical enough to actually fix the Miami problem with baseball. I have enjoyed baseball in Miami since the 1950's, watching the original Miami Marlins in their little downtown stadium. Having a new stadium and a major league franchise was hopefully the solution to the woes that we suffer in south Florida baseball, no need to elaborate. Back to my epiphany. Due to my focus on work over the recent months, I have not kept up with the off season maneuvers of the Miami Marlins franchise. It took two games before the work brakes slowed me enough to notice that the Marlins had played and lost both games. Now I needed to wake up and see my team in action. To my surprise, the franchise was again stripped of many key players. Then the radical thinking kicked in. Why not, yes, why not kick the cheap franchise out of the city and invite the Mets franchise to Miami, with an understanding that they buy back our favorite past and present players (Stanton of course). The Marlin franchise cares only about the money - they would sell! Miami is a great place to live. The New York players may find it refreshing to be in sunny south Florida. We have a beautiful, brand new stadium. We have well over 100,000 Mets fans already living here. The rest of us baseball enthusiasts simply want a franchise that is committed to win. Miami Mets rolls off the tongue with ease. We would fill the stadium to capacity every game. Why not force the suicide squeeze in this needed moment. Yes, radical. Yes, crazy. Perhaps the solution to our South Florida Baseball woes. Original Marlin Fan NOT Just musing a bit. PS: Pizza boy should read the content before commenting.
