TSwift is a liar. He used my face and painted it black in Photoshop. :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

a hit like miggy facing the rocket A hit like Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston. More like Pujols' bomb facing brad lidge...booya :thumbup

I've seen them up on ebay for many games, I'm sure next season you'll be able to purchase them without a problem on ebay :confused

I know. I noticed this and it made me very sad. They could always put (besides the obvious Cabrera and Willis) Bump and Villone (for now). :confused

I'm so close to closing this. Would it help if I agreed with that decision? ditto

i know how to settle this whole argument... bat him leadoff :thumbup

were there alot of people there?

so we're definitely going with hanram or andino at starting ss?

Has anyone heard anything on Alex and where he is going?

Marlins defnitely got the attention of the county with the firesale and relocation threat, huh? What makes me discouraged is why, if Huizenga was trying to help, the Marlins kind of ignored him and didn't seriously sit down to work something out. Instead they toured San Antonio. I know why. Because they don't care. No matter what happens they don't want to stay here. Loria is an a**hole and he doesn't give a rat's a** about the team. All this bs about him crying, gimme a break! He needs to sell the team to that billionaire who is interested. I hope I'm wrong but I really don't think I am. But if they stay and they get a nice stadium of out this i'll feel alot better about losing everyone.

Herald link Miami-Dade seeks solution for a Marlins ballpark By Sarah Talalay Staff Writer Posted December 9 2005 MIAMI ? Miami-Dade County Commissioners pushed Thursday for one more stab at salvaging a deal to help the Marlins build a ballpark, perhaps next to Dolphins Stadium with the help of Dolphins owner H. Wayne Huizenga. Commissioners asked County Manager George Burgess to meet with the Marlins to analyze whether any ballpark options remain. Later Thursday, Burgess met with Major League Baseball President Bob DuPuy to see if a deal is still possible. "We met to discuss where we are currently with regard to discussions with the county and the club and others, and looked to explore different avenues to bridge the gaps and agreed to follow up and explore those avenues and talk again early next week," DuPuy said after the meeting. Burgess issued a statement saying: "It was a good meeting. I expect the dialogue to continue." Talks have focused on whether a deal can be struck with Huizenga, who, sources say, has offered 15 acres and about $50 million for a ballpark near Dolphins Stadium. It's unclear precisely how a deal would be structured, but even with the Marlins and county participating a funding gap that might be as high as $100 million remains. County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa, who gave an impassioned speech about the pride a community feels for a winning baseball team and including references to Livan Hernandez's 1997 "I love you, Miami" pronouncement, pushed for Burgess to explore all options for a ballpark. "Some of you may consider the story of the Florida Marlins a tragedy," Sosa said, "I consider this an opportunity." Commissioners asked Burgess to report back by the end of January. The county had pledged $138 million in tourist taxes to a stadium next to the Orange Bowl, but that figure might be reduced since it included $60 million freed up when the City of Miami sold Miami Arena in 2004. The Orange Bowl location is no longer under consideration after talks broke down with the city. The team has received permission from Major League Baseball to seek relocation. Although Marlins President David Samson says the team would prefer to stay in South Florida, he met with San Antonio, Texas, officials Tuesday and plans to visit other communities interested in luring a team. Samson, who earlier this week said talks with Huizenga are ongoing, declined comment Thursday. While commissioners asked Burgess to investigate stadium possibilities, a few of them lashed out at the team. Commissioner Natacha Seijas said she loves baseball and doesn't want the team to leave, but accused Samson and team owner Jeffrey Loria of trying to extract too much from the county. She expressed disdain for the team seeking a new home while trading its best players. "I do not like baseball because of what they've done," Seijas said. "This is not baseball they're playing, this is speculation." Commissioner Barbara Jordan complained that some of her favorite players have been traded. "If they let D-Train go, I don't care where they go," she said. Commissioner Bruno Barreiro, whose district includes the Orange Bowl, expressed frustration that the City of Miami is able to come up with $110 million for a renovation of the Orange Bowl but couldn't complete a deal for a stadium next door for the Marlins. "My district is up in arms. They don't understand what's going on," he said. EXACTLY! EX-FREAKIN-ACTLY!

there is one reason and one reason alone to keep Pierre and that reason is for Dontrelle. how do you think dontrelle feels already? all the players he started playing with are gone and pierre is his best friend, if the front office wants to keep dontrelle long term (which who knows if they really do) they need to keep him happy and trading pierre would NOT be too smart.

i will never forgive them for trading louie...never EVER. go Twins!

let's tailgate!!! wooot! :thumbup

Someone tell me about Ramirez, I don't know anything about him, scouting report? How is he defensively/offensively?

:notworthy

If we could get Rowand and Marte from the Sox for Pierre that be awesome. Actually, just Rowand for Pierre would be an upgrade IMO. agreed. :thumbup

i love pierre, i mean who doesn't, but c'mon... Pierre for Rowand? That's flat out robbery for us! You can't say no to that. Pierre > Aguila > Rowand. you crazy :confused

I like that Loria seems to be open to getting creative in keeping the team in South Florida, so how about this crazy idea of mine: Since we're now on speaking terms with Huizenga, take the money that was proposed to be the Marlins contribution to the new stadium, stick a roof on Pro Player, enter into a joint ownership of the stadium for non Marlin/Dolphin activities since a roofed Pro Player instantly becomes the most desireable venue for large concerts and other events (you don't think the Rolling Stones would rather sell 55,000 tickets at Pro Player instead of about 16,000 at the BAC?), and negotiate a more favorable lease during Marlins home games (IE, we get luxury box and concession money). It works because Wayne gets a roof, which will help with the recruitment of more favorable events ranging from concerts to the super-bowl, and it gives the Marlins a permanent home with a more favorable lease as well as a reason to put the roof on the damn place because it offers a chance for great offseason income. Thoughts? Huizenga is going to build a roof on the stadium once the Marlins leave so I don't think that would be a selling point for him. He says the only reason he can't build the roof is because he has no time with the short break between baseball season and football season. Huizenga will build a roof, but not with the Marlins there :thumbdown

You can't honestly blame Miguel for not wanting to stop for hordes of screaming pre-teen girls waiting to molest him and jump all over his car for an autograph If you take them away, I'd think you'd see Miguel signing a few autgraphs more often... just my .02 eh you're probably right, it's just frusturating when you are the one who gets snubbed :confused

I've had nothing but good experiences with getting Miguel to sign during Spring Training ...And i'm not exactly a chick with huge hooters well i guess you were lucky. trust me it's not always so easy.

Good luck trying to get Miguel Cabrera's autograph anywhere, the guy is full of himself. I been in front of him in the stadium, even said hi, he ignores you unless you are a chick with big hooters. You have a better chance at paying, cause man, he is making his autograph a tough one to pull. This is so true! I had batter's box seats once ( I know lucky me!) and I saw him in front of the clubhouse and everyone was trying to just take pictures of him from a distance and he kept yelling "NO MAS NO MAS!" (no more, no more) but when some chick came up in a slutty skimpy shirt she got around the rope and he put his arm around her and took a picture, so if you want Miggy's autograph and your not a chick, shell out the money!

I have a horrible feeling Lowell is going to go elsewhere, we're still going to pay a pretty good amount of his salary and he's going to have a comeback year. I don't know if it's worth it. We definitely need to find a way to keep Gonzo, I don't want him going to the Braves or Cubs and I don't like Andino starting.
