  1. When the closest you have been to Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Dolphin Stadium is the Hard Rock Casino. When you bring your own hot dogs and souveniers to the game because none of the vendors are open. When you realize the attendance listed in the box score is inflated because you counted and personally know everyone in the stadium. When you pay your lawn service more per month than the Marlins pitching staff. When you get to see a World Series every six years a new owner ever four years and a whole new team every 2 years.
  2. While I'm not in favor of the huge gift to Scripps either. They will bring quite a bit more in jobs and economic development to Palm Beach County than a new ballpark would bring to Dade, Broward, or PBC. The price of the two projects is pretty comparable...the payoff isn't even close.
  3. Marlins should open up the tryouts to fans. They'd probably draw more people than they did all September.
  4. I think the Marlins should move to Tampa....they don't have a team there and they have a dome.
  5. Sox also got some money from the Yanks in the deal. Loaiza might do well in Yankee Stadium and Contreras could turn into a great setup guy. He's got great stuff when he's on.
  6. My guess is Nomar will find hitting in Wrigley to be to his liking. Will it be enough to turn that team around? Who knows...but with the talent they have and the money they've spent...if I were Dusty Baker I might be getting a bit worried. Of couse, Admin Bowa is still managing the Phillies...so who knows. Justin Jones? How many ML wins does he have? A prospect, is just that a prospect...and a pretty big risk. The Twins traded away a guy they didn't feel they need and weren't going to pay to open up a spot for Morneau. They also end up with a shot at another MLB pitcher. The Red Sox may have shored up an infield defense that was more than horrid. While Doug M hasn't been lighting it up offensively, he'll probably hit close to .300 and between him and Cabrerra probably save the Sox close to a hit/error a game. While the Sox poor fielding isn't the only reason that Lowe (sinker ball) has stunk...this certainly can't hurt him. Unfortunately, they're still not going to catch the Yankees, but have a decent shot at winning the wildcard now....if Francona doesn't get in the way. The Expos? Who knows...but Frank Robinson will figure out how to get a few wins with these new guys...at least get them to play hard. If they're really going to be playing in RFK next year they should stock up on guys who can hit pop-ups to left...cause it won't take much to hit a tater there. That place really isn't made for baseball.
  7. Not sure you really "took" LoDuca, Juan E. and Moto from the Dodgers...they traded them. For whatever reason they think they're getting the better deal...certainly not a team that would need a "salary dump". I hope the deal works out for the Marlins. At least they're trying to win which is far better than they did under the previous ownership. It was really important that they not give up this year when you consider the stadium situation.
  8. While Cabrerra's speed may make it LOOK like he's jogging after a ball...he's not...he tries. On the other hand as soon as Juan gets his attitude in full gear you'll get to see, again, what giving 70% is all about
