Admin, please remove my registration, totally. I cannot cope with the sub-culture represented by the children herein. Thank you and good luck to you. Arnie, Boynton Beach.

Have tried to post thoughtfully and honestly but I can't relate to your sub-culture. I am out of here. Arnie (Marlins fan)

*To get back on topic* Perhaps a start for Todd Hollandsworth? I would like Hollandsworth in LF,Encarnacion in RF,Lowell at third,Cabs at SS,Conine at first.If we have a nice lead in the late innnings we can substitute Gonzalez and Lee for defensive purposes. Thanks for "back on topic." I get distressed when children herein get distracted arguing whether the Japanese or Germans bombed Pearl Harbor! I like your line-up suggestion. Probably a year away. But, Jack has shown the capacity to surprise.

....it died You are brilliant, too. Watch out for those German bombers over Pearl Harbor. Where are the truancy officers when we need them? Get an education and come back to talk with us.

Four consecutive postings on who bombed Pearl Harbor. Japanese or Germans? Oh my... no wonder... Whatever happened to thread topic?

that link is so questionable that there's no way i'd believe it. it was taken from a message board post!! we'd know it if lowell was officially on the block. no dumba$$ devil rays fan would know before us Thanks for the sober posting!

Disappointed with the HATE posters herein. They are losers. Disgusted with the "rah-rah" posters who overwhelmed threads last week and have now disappeared. Let's get it on. Let's play baseball. No excuses, no nonsense. We are in this!

This whole Marlins season has been an exercise in "the hard way." Injuries (beginning with AJ) have taken their toll, etc. But, we hung-in, adapted and achieved. Jack is not giving up. None of our players are giving in. The real Marlins fans are not giving in. If we have to do it the hard way, so be it. Giving in to the irresistible urge to tweak the line-up... I would like to see today Conine at first, Cabs in left, Enc in right and Mike at third.

Gave you the personal courtesy notice (as you requested) that I had received a trash response to a posting. You deleted that and my response. Nice how you manipulate this stuff. Better the Monitors should monitor. Somebody should. (And have them check my postings to see if I contribute positively.)

I've said for more than two weeks (check the archives!) to move Lee down from the fourth spot. Seems very few of us remember what they said.

why is it bad to talk about the future? its not like we are giving up on this year... The past few days we have had over-loaded threads from bandwagoners. Since we lost a game they are quiet. So I posted "Will Jack Return" as a quiet consideration for the real fans. We don't need to argue line-up or anything else. But, we are building toward next year in these quiet moments between games.

As someone above said, we don't know the Castro criminal complications deal. Yet, so many of us are counting on him. With our heads in the sand.

After a helluva personal and Marlins team run, I wonder if Jack will return next Season. Team "seems" young and developing but there will, I think, be some changes. A-Gon will be all gone. The highly talented short-stop has not grown in years. He still has trade value. Derrick Lee, the premiere defensive first baseman in all of baseball shows an annoying propensity for delaying his traditional second half offensive rally. He has trade value. Cabrera can play short (unless Lowell is cut loose for financial reasons... a mistake, but possible.) Conine can play first for at least a year. Pudge may not be re-signed unless he accepts a salary discount. (Meanwhile, no one seems to be paying attention to Castro's criminal complications.) And Ozzie... gone to Chicago. Done deal? Or is he being quietly romanced by the Marlins FO? Stove is going to be very hot this winter. Meanwhile, I couldn't be prouder of the team we have on the field right now! And thank you Jack.

GOOD POSTING.

Had occasion, welcoming BoSox fan to our site, to mention as a Brooklyn Dodger fan my membership in "Happy Felton's Knot-Hole Gang." Fifties. If you knew someone within six blocks that had a TV, he was your "best friend." Show was named "Knot-Hole Gang" because kids still knocked holes in the outfield fence to watch the game. Wasn't that something. We had (and I failed to support) a nice Saturday a.m. (?) kids show with a talented little girl (early teens?) interviewing Marlins players. Extremely well-produced. Is there no market for this? (Can you tell me what the "little girl" is doing now, media-wise. She was good.)

WIOD reported (around 5:30 this Friday morning) they had phoned the HERALD on this and couldn't get a response or a call-back. Burn 'em.

Long been a closet Red Sox fan (a National Leaguer who hates the Yankees. grew-up of course as a Brooklyn Dodger fan and a member of Happy Fella's Knot-Hole Gang... how's that for dating myself?) But, this Season I have followed the BoSox site and read the Box Score every day. Reason: I AM A KEVIN MILLAR fan.

Curious. Attempted immediately to follow up on your comment. Told the site was "Closed." Stayed that way for quite a while. My last comment was not even published (though sent before you "Closed." I'm not trying to "egg" anyone on. You, however, are very sensitive to criticism (though I thought this was one of the purposes of this Site.) You want it "privately." I tried that.

Bull crap. Absolute bull crap.

Admin, Please check last few entries on Spooneybarger (today. now closed) and tell me that some members are not "licensed" to sit in judgment of others postings. Have discussed this with you privately. Apparently, does no good. No one should tell another that his Posting is no good. Disagreement should be based on an articulated argument. Not cheap shots. Yes, you "coddle" him, to say the least.

Spooney's a rocker i don't like rock! i dont remember anyone asking you That was low Typical Queen of Cheap Shots response. Why do we have to ask that butt-kissed "member" for permission to express an opinion?

Lee should not be batting fourth. Cabs third, Pudge fourth. Put Lee wherever you want a crap-shoot long ball gamble.

Spooney is gone. He had a crap attitude before we got him. He had a crap attitude since his injury with us. Yet, so many herein were kissing his butt. Of course, they disappear now. Spooney doesn't fit. He was a mistake. You'll have this.

Move Lee down to 6th with Conine (batting 7th) protecting him. This could give Lee fatter pitches to hit with the contact-Niner on deck. Who then bats 4th? Crap-shoot. Maybe ENC 3rd and Pudge 4th.

Anticipated (and looked forward) to seeing Cabrera at short in Jupiter Spring Training. The crap about Cabs being moved to 3rd in minors because he was too big for shortstop was just that... CRAP. They were on the precipe of trading Lowell and decided to groom Cabs for 3rd. I give Jack credit for wanting to win this year. We were getting trounced and he was willing to tip next season's hand. Makes me think Jack is planning on being with us next year. Wild, gutsy move really. He knows A-Gon is "super-sensitive." If this switch happens again, A-Gon's pouting will make him useless. (Foot-Note: Jupiter will be interesting to see who plays first. Conine? Stokes? Other? Lee will be gone.)
