  1. This guy choked his girlfriend and shot 8 bullets a wall because he was mad. He deserves nothing.
  2. I'm curious about how long term protection of assets is factored into these decisions. It is going to be really frustrating when all this pitching loses value because they are pitching against a gauntlet no matter who they face in the east...well except Washington. But even in these series the pitching has to be perfect because they are with defensively weak lineup with players out of position... Christ....they don't have a centerfielder...this is mindboggling. It isn't like these magical trades are coming...Teams are just waiting the Fish out.
  3. They are better off punting the season and selling whatever they can at the deadline. Ng knew all along...playing chess. #genius
  4. Its embarrassing that they have to sign him for any hope to save face...more embarrassing if he accepts the offer. Marlins always find new and creative ways to become the joke.
  5. Why is "the team will look different" the sell? The team should look reloaded...competitive. Anything less should be meaningless for a fan base.
  6. Does every division have one Marlins? I wouldn't call it collusion but maybe bargaining... Us in the NL east...Tampa in the AL east....the Pirates...who else?
  7. I feel like Mish is somewhat open about the cheapness and poor choices the ownership makes. I think his proximity becomes an issue when he incorrectly reported moves in the past...that has pretty much stopped... Eh. It is all just disappointing, which is funny because I, like many of you, never thought it would turn out any other way...how can one be disappointed if one knew what was going to happen?
  8. The next rebuild is the one that will take -- for sure. Imagine the busts we get for Jazz when Alcantara's arm falls off.
  9. They are making money. It's not incompetence any more than it's not caring...they want to transfer your wealth into their wealth as quickly and cheaply as possible. The real sick thing is there is no way to make THEM feel it...it will only always be the fans. They aren't really creating any product and therefore there is no way to reject a product. Even if every fan stopped watching, which is impossible, they make money off the visiting team, plus they could sell the team, or move it and drain another fanbase before selling, and still make money. The other owners must be ok with this...a team to help pad stats and drive revenue...the union likes it because they give aging washed up players a landing spot and the "interest" helps to drive contracts.
  10. With whom? Or what? Seems to me they are getting plenty of air time doing absolutely nothing.
  11. Yikes. It's almost like the union and owners worked something out with the Sherman and Ng. They let him use the team to make money as long as they stay a bottom feeder and help the real teams pad their stats. Meanwhile, the union doesn't put up a fuss because every offseason the Marlins overpay for a 220 hitter (no way JT comes here from the Dodgers at age 40 to bat 270-250) helping to drive the market and thinning the herd of available free agents.
