:cool

If they're going anywhere, send them to Baghad. Since we're spreading capitalism all over the world how bout we give them the best this country has to offer.

Kids will cry and ask their families why Billy is leaving. What does Samson want us to tell them? Billy is going to fish heaven?

I wanna thank Billy the Marlin! I hope that someday if I have kids you'll still be around to meet them.

this team is a contender and to be a contender you need players that have done the job and have experience. Not 3 rookies Remember the good ol' days? Ahh, early November when the sky was the limit and everybody was looking forwards to Spring Training.

BUMP Beckett Lowell Todd Jones Delgado's first game :boo-woo :boo-woo :boo-woo

Everytime a team builds a new stadium it revitalizes the area, not only in the team's attendance but all the businesses around it. Denver is the perfect example, before the Rockies Lodo was a dump, a place to get hookers and drugs. Now its packed with bars and restaurants, and of course, baseball. Those who say spending money on stadiums is a bad investment are probably the same idiots who think buying a car is a smart way to invest money.

HB old man! Hope you stick around for a long time.

I say we demolish some mall and use it for a stadium.

Both great moments.

Diaz and Bush are a bunch of idiots in office. They only show their face when there are hurricane and other emergencies and pretty much spend the rest of the year screwing everything up. Carlitos Alvarez has to be our solution. He's a cop, he doesn't beat around the bush. Hopefully he comes thru in the clutch. Do it for Billy and the kids!

Hialieah, Miami Lakes, North Miami Beach, they should all try to move to get a stadium in their cities cause lets face it, nobody has any reason to go there otherwise.

Welcome Mr Ramirez!! It'll be nice to watch you play, if only for a couple of seasons before you move to Oregon.

We reeeallly need to give up on state funds. Its not going to happen. In that case we better try to get MLB relocate the Devil Rays closer to home. :confused

I was listening to the radio when he talked about that. Good job, you made Lebastard call himself stupid.

here's one..... let's continue to blame Jeffery Loria and the marlins organization for something anyone else would have done years ago. :thumbup Well from those remarks it seems that if the Marlins' President wasn't his son in law, we'd be a playoff contender this year. No way would a salaried employee tell his boss how to spend his money as bluntly as Samson did. Regardless the stadium issue has gone on for too long, a lot of blame going to the politicians and probably just as much blame on Samson's shoulders for being a n00b and horrible negotiator. Having Samson lead the stadium deal would have been like putting Abe Nu?ez to the plate against the Cubs in Game 6. Everybody is quick to blame attendance, since its the easiest fact to point out, but the problems here are waay deeper than that.

Thats the problem right there. Indeferrence by the politicians. He's probably an Astros fan and doesn't give a sh*t what happens to our team.

Good idea. I voted for Alvarez over Morales back last year because Morales was extremely anti Stadium while Alvarez was for it. Big Carlos gotta come thru for us in the clutch....

We were going to pay no matter where we'd send him. sh*tty deal for us, no ways around it.

I budgeted $4000 for season tickets this season. But I might be slashing payroll too if Girardi is lining up minor leaguers and get a big tv instead.

Dont think hermida would be considered as a prospect anymore... He's for sure starting in 2006 Ditto

I didn't get anything in the mail.

Well, I can't add more than whats been said already. Glad to have Hanley. Thanks to Josh and Mike.

I hope to god Sage gets to start this week and the rest of the weeks. Me too, that way we are guaranteed to sink lower and get a good chance at picking Leinart.

For 20 something years the fins have put a contender on the field until last season. Under Shula they would never give up and take a rebuilding year.
