Although we did dominate the Nationals, our team showed signs of what won us games last year. Solid starting pitching and making sure the ball doesn't stay in the parks. With that said, now it's time for our Major League schedule to start.

I say we just get Fruit of the Loom to pay for the stadium gap and sign A-Rod to a ten figure salary. Fruit of the Loom + A-Rod = $$$$$ Simple math.... right? My point is, none of us know what we're talking about because at the end of the day Loria still owns the team, Samson has no idea what he's doing, and Beinfest will always be underrated.

UCF @ Southern Miss Sunday night on ESPN. Even though UCF got anihilated by ECU, this is the C-USA Championship. Done and done.

Until I can park my car in the lots and tailgate will I believe in a new stadium. Being a Marlins fan since I was 5 in '93, optimism on the stadium issue isn't something I dish out over headlines. Believe it if you must, but don't cry when all longtime fans say, "I told you so."

We'd still finish in last unless A-Rod can pitch 6 innings. The best point made so far.

I BELIEVE! I believed in '97 when Bobby Bo' hit that homerun in game seven. I believed in '03 when Beckett threw that complete game. Hell, I kept believing everytime we had our backs up against the wall. Our team has a knack for pulling off miracles, just look at this season. No one expected us to come this far. We've exceded, no, we've destroyed expectations (in a good way) so why do we have to get down now? Lets enjoy this ride and look forward to these following weeks. Heck we weren't supposed to be here anyways. we believe

borchard will knock one, guarantee it

oh i get it, he's short! (sw)

how bout everyone comes over my place for a marlins watch party i go to ucf and have directv.. i could charge $1.00 per person :] haha great idea, i go to UCF too, sophomore though. what year are you?

Believe me,a bunch of the Gators tried to do this cause FSN also shows Gator basketball games and it didn't help, and there are a lot more Gator fans in central Florida than there are Marlin fans. Hopefully with the Gators looking to repeat in Bball, they will decide to add FSN for our poor souls in C.Florida. Did you guys petition.

I'm sure if we petition we can sway BHN to add FSN Florida when the SUNsports contract expires. I'll see what I can do. Edit: This is the statement I came up with. Please add to or edit so we can get this underway. "We, the sports fans of central Florida, wish that Brighthouse Networks include Fox Sports Network Florida in their cable packages. As fans of teams such as the Florida Marlins, the Florida State Seminoles, the Florida Gators, and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, we are unable to these games on a regular basis. Since Brighthouse Networks does not offer FSN Florida, we are in short prohibited from viewing these teams and their games. Brighthouse Networks offers services to over 800,000 homes in the Orlando/Daytona/Melbourne region, and all of these areas are without programming they would be entitled to anywhere else. The undersigned thank everyone and anyone who participates with their support for a better sports experience."

not entirely, but a great program anyways. is there a way to display a map? how does it tell me where to set up?

I've been googling for about 20 minutes and it's getting frustrating. I once saw someone on a program that could locate where WAP's were, it was pretty cool. It displayed them on a circle that way you would know where to set up and find a network. I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the program or had a program similar to it that maps out locations. Thanks guys.

FSN Florida is a basic cable channel that charges a certain amount for itself per subscriber. ($2-3 usually) Bright House Networks, like Time Warner before it, refuses to carry and pay for FSN Florida. They want to put it on Digital Cable. FSN is not a digital channel and almost every other cable company carries and pays for it as a regular cable network. Once Sun Sports' contract with Bright House is done, FSN/SUN will go to the table as one and you can bet Bright House will add FSN or risk losing the Magic, Gators, and Golden Knights games SUN has and risk alienating even more people and having them go with Dish or DirecTV. Melbourne saw a bunch of this when they wouldn't add FSN after the Marlins moved. More on my campaign here: http://fsnflorida.blogspot.com/ the most helpful post of all time. when does the contact run out?

After joining these forums I realized that I'm not the only Marlins fan who can't watch their team. In order to watch them, I would have to sign a huge contract for a satelite provider, since I'm in an MLB.tv blackout area. Being a college student, that is out of the question. The only cable provider up in the 407 happens to be Brighthouse Networks, who for some reason do not offer FSN Florida. This happens to be very frustrating being that most of us are Marlins fans up here, not Devil Rays. Being that this is a forum with many Orlando fish-atics, I came up with an idea. Do you all believe that it is possible to petition to Brighthouse in order to get them to start carrying FSN Florida? Because if it is possible, I would gladly head it up with any support. Let me know what you all think.

I was at Leiter's no-hitter in '96 at a ripe age of 9. I remeber crying about the fact that I had to go to the game because I wanted to stay home and play video games (we were season ticket holders and I had been to every game that week, but still a stupid kid). Well my older sister forced me to go to the game with her and behold, Al threw a no-hitter. So earlier in the day I was crying I had to go, by the end I was crying I had to leave. Best experience of my life.

good thing you sent the lucky ones Tswift! thats what karma is all about. hope Crau and his mom had a great time at the game.

if every strike were a strike, every ball were a ball it wouldnt be baseball. that is the ironic beauty of this game.

i should have told me Al Leiter no-hitter story... too bad i'm in orlando. congrats to the winners! have a great time.

Why do Marlins players always have to make injury excuses lately for poor performance (Nolasco, Hermida, Willis)? i dont know heres a wacky idea they actually had injuries? never, that would be the truth!

MIAMI- Battling through cramps and dehydration, Dontrelle Willis gave everything he had on a humid, damp South Florida night. While it wasn't a vintage D-Train performance, Willis kept his team in the game for six innings. His misfortune was that the Marlins were unable to pull off some of their recent late-inning magic. FloridaMarlins.com. Atleast it wasnt anything horrible. I had a feeling it wasnt though. And what were the batters suffering from? A-rod disease.

i guess after we sneak up behind them we'll be written off some more.

first team to be predicted to lose 100+ games then come back and make the playoffs? i'm sure thats a first

If we could only get the Marlins broadcast in Orlando now I'm with you Eddie. I work over in Altamonte at the Starbucks, but I go to school out east by UCF. If I'm lucky sometimes Orlando Ale House will show a game. Thats if I'm lucky.

...when you joined this forum just to post in this topic ...when everytime baseball is brought up in conversation you take it over talking about how the Marlins will be unbeatable in two years ...when in that same conversation you mention how you have been a loyal fan since '93 and were still a huge fan after the fire sales ...when in '97 you cried when mom and dad couldn't bring you to game 7 and cried tears of joy when Bobby Bo' cracked that game tying homerun, and then again when Edgar knocked Counsell in. (I was 10 at the time) ...when you are a college student who doesn't have cable, are in a blackout area for mlb.tv, and forced to follow gamecast on mlb.com and cheer everytime you see "Ball in play, run-scoring play" (sad but true)
