    Audi

    Don't buy any European car, my firm belief is they are designed to be leased and enjoyed- and turned in. After 3 years most of them have suspension bushings and parts that need replacement and it makes it not worth owning the car and repairing anymore. Lease an Audi if you really want one, DO NOT buy a used one. Buying a used car is always buying someone elses problem, and it's especially true on BMW, Audi, MB, and other "foreigns" as the kids call em.
  3. Part of the reason for teams ditching certain jerseys is the rule they can only have 4 in the rotation. Not sure how removing the blue ST and making it an official alternate affects that. Maybe we have to look at the Astros for jersey designations. I don't believe the city connects count towards the 4. Rays - Home, Navy, Baby, Throwbacks Marlins- Home, Black, Blue, Grey (city connect not counted)
  4. I feel like the Marlins can sign a certain HOF Catcher to bloop singles all across the outfield, but his knees might not hold up. Noodle Arm, calls a great game. Penchant for momentous home runs that restore a nation's faith. Seriously though, a 50+ year old Piazza or Rodriguez could be better than what they have signed.
  5. Someone pull up the image of him smoking a heater outside Marlins Park in full Team USA uniform. One of my favorite stories was sometime between May 16 and May 18, 1998- Leyland went on an absolute tirade against the entire 1998 Marlins Team. Ripped them to shreds, called em shit, told em they should all be in the minors. Then turns to Mike Piazza calmly, and says "But not you Mike, we'll get you outta here soon enough". And MAN did he love to shit on Greg Zaun.
  6. Fingers crossed its a moved back to the original colors, the Teal Crown/ Black Brim would be great too. Tie in a little orange with it.
  7. I mean, I don't hate it. I wonder what the overall plan is. Build one large FO in one offseason, or add the right people over two or three seasons? The Rays didn't do what they did overnight.
  8. I kinda don't like him cuz he's a dick. The ball toss into the stands when Francona came to pull him... the fuckin drone accident in the world series. He's played the heel a little too well. Nah, it was obvious this situation was a set up. He thought he had a baddie and he fumbled the bag going for it. She played him and he thought he was getting what he wanted. Ironically both dumbasses deserve eachother. I just cant believe he was that dumb to put himself in that position. Least of all during his playing days, in a high profile market, with a MASSIVE contract to live up to/abide by. I really think if he goes unsigned there will be a lawsuit, a settlement, and then a long career in Japan. AKA Dwight Howard.
  9. Honestly, if it's cheap and multi year- I'm for it- but I don't like it. He was an ass before all this stuff happened. I thought this might humble him a bit, but he's still defiant. Remember when he said he'd never sign a multi year deal and he's better off going year to year.
  10. Shit.... I posted from my burner. I mean, yeah this right here. It would be awesome. It would be so cool.
  11. I think our offer was one year and Boston gave him a player option with a buyout no?
  12. I feel like he's going after pension and benefits while chasing dollars this contract.
  13. Its already been confirmed he was almost traded to Arizona but something ruined the deal that summer.
  14. I think it's just the idea that they signed FA's who played key roles on this team. Leiter, Fernandez, Brown, White, Alou, Bonilla, Eisenrich. I mean, these days its not uncommon to have so many free agents make up your starting lineup / roster. Back then, it wasn't the norm. I get what your saying, we also brought trades and homegrown talent to the lineup in CJ, Renteria, Floyd, Sheff (Kinda), Conine, and Hernandez. The signings were spread across two years, which is why it doesn't feel like a buying frenzy.
  15. If the Marlins even let the Padres interview Skip, it reflects poorly on the direction of this franchise. Unless Skip outright says he'd want to go there, they can't entertain this. With that said, I full expect a clean slate from this directionless franchise going into next year, New PBO, Manager and GM. With none of the noise of who we're interviewing, I have a feeling its already been figured out who. ***Bah GAWD, thats Mike Hills music!!!****
  16. I might tune in here and there for a few at bats, hopefully Longoria gets his ring. NGL, I would have been happy with Harper / Castellanos getting a ring too.
  17. To me the really stunnign thing about Shermans ownership was he found out about baseball moves AFTER the fact, jeter wouldn't consult him. Samson said Sherman had no idea Mike Hill was let go after the 2020 playoff run, and it led to Jeter leaving the org last year. I wonder if Hill was trusted by Sherman and if this is a case of Hill being the PBO and Ng said no way. She was a Jeter hire afterall. I really feel like the tea leaves are leading to Hill coming back to the organization. Between him denying a interview with the red sox, and the playoffs still going on- I just feel like he'll step down with the commissioners office after the WS and step into Loan Depot park the next day.
  18. Bloom was forced by management to trade Betts/ Price and not resign his FA to save money. He did what he was told to do, and the assumption is because he was willing to trade Betts and Price, he was given the job, He was the scapegoat / lackey
  19. GM performs dutied like a Assistant GM- PBO operates like regular GM. Only meant to prevent people from leaving / applying for job promotions with other teams.
  20. Pretty Generous of you to assume our Front Office has enough Personnel to fill a clown car.
  21. Originally the trend was designed to make sure that Assistant GM's that were being poached by other teams couldn't leave for a "Better Job" by giving them the "TITLE" GM, but in actuality answering to the real GM, PBO. It was just a way to prevent people from leaving the organization, and keeping the same Hierarchy of power/ decision making. IIRC, wasnt Mike Hill the PBO, Jennins the GM... and same before with Beinfest / Hill when Hill was an attractive GM candidate?
  22. Short List should be: Mike Hill Theo Epstein Dave Dombrowski
  23. Oh my! She might be going to the Mets.
  24. Not saying it’s not for the best- but there’s def some kinda disharmony between Sherman and the Front office. For Ng to walk, from a guaranteed GM job says something about Sherman’s ownership that isn’t exactly favorable.
