hehehe SBerthiaumeESPN Steve Berthiaume Oakland #A's now showing a willingness to use biggest & most effective weapon to force new San Jose ballpark: sucking beyond belief.

Maybe if we were the Florida Marlins.

My sister, who lives in LA, is responsible for this. I must warn that halfway through, the "dialogue" gets a tad disturbing and probably NSFW. She really...went for it. http://bigladyballs.wordpress.com/2011/06/17/7/

What is this, TMZ? youtube I know, duh. #JokeNotReceived

What is this, TMZ?

well for what it's worth, CJ said if it was just the money he'd be a Marlin right now. Said the Marlins were totally classy, the situation would've been great there too. Said it was a win-win with either team. And had the Angels not been involved he'd have gone with the Marlins. Yeah, he called the Marlins 100% awesome and said he would have been the Marlins if it was any team but his hometown team going against them. Gotta give him props for going with his heart instead of the money, though. The more I hear about it, the more I'm disappointed we didn't get him. Seems like a great guy and teammate. Hope he does well in Anaheim except against us. ^^^ All of this

He was great in the setup role in 2010. Best of luck to him.

I swear im going to be the official hanley defender on this forum. So much bs and regurgitated crap is said about him. Come at me bros. I know a certain senior citizen you'll be sure to go at it with.

Buster_ESPN Buster Olney Rangers are among teams talking Gio Gonzalez; two teams would seem to match up, with someone like lefty prospect Martin Perez.

This was a very smart move by the Rays, locking this kid up early like Evan Longoria.

iPhone's do have good cameras. Imagine being surrounded by dozens of others also trying to take the same picture with their phones. There's kind of a chaotic moving around trying to get the best shot above the head of some tall a-hole in front of you.

Jeffrey Loria on whether #Marlins will get in on Prince Fielder: "oh, I don't know about that. We'll see."" Samson #Marlins never had interest in Prince Fielder -Capozzi We gotta play it like the Angels did Pujols. Nope we have no interest and then swoop in. That's what I was thinking. I think they learned a lot from the Pujols/Wilson negotiations.

Jeffrey Loria on whether #Marlins will get in on Prince Fielder: "oh, I don't know about that. We'll see."" Samson #Marlins never had interest in Prince Fielder -Capozzi They could be still deciding whether or not they'll make a push for him, or they are in the process of strategizing. We know what they're capable of now, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did throw their hat in the ring.

wtf, are people taking these pics with cell phones? I've yet to see a good photo of the pressers. Beat writers' pics from their cell phones. That's why they're writers, not photographers. And this way they have the ability to tweet them to fans.

Another angle:

Juan Rodriguez tweeted that Gammonds had rumor Fish might sign Aramis, move Hanley to 2nd, and trade for Jon Niese..... I'd take anything JCR says with a grain of salt. He's near the bottom of the Marlins beat writer totem pole.

Why would they not stream it on the official website? Lame.

Another great episode tonight. I'm going to miss this show

On the subject, I have Scott Stapp's Marlins song in my iTunes library. Yeah, I said it. I am SO disappointed in you.

I just hope this doesn't spawn another Kardashian spinoff: Khloe and Lamar take NOLA.

Seems to me like everyone got spoiled. If we go after Fielder cool, but we have done more than enough compared to other years. I think last season has made alot of people lose confident about our chances, even with our add-ons. You're calling Jose Reyes, Mark Buehrle and Heath Bell "add-ons?" Those guys are more than just mere "add-ons." Come on.

I'm actually going out with a Japanese chick tonight. I'll tell her to put in a good word about Miami to Yu. Yoko Ono is SUCH a cougar.

Jose Reyes seems under-appreciated in this signing, and that is because he's in the same free agent class as Albert Pujols. If Pujols hadn't been a FA this year, all eyes would have been on Reyes and Marlins fans would seem a little more grateful.

I think...I'm a troll!!! I don't know why, but yay! It's such an honor and privilege to be nominated for the Troll A. Bethan award multiple times! x0x0 lovers.

What's the worst thing someone has said or done to merit being banned from the site? Just curious. And examples might be helpful. We're not going to ban anyone for calling others idiots, unless they constantly do it after being asked to refrain from that. 95% of the bans here the past few years have been from accounts that sign up just to spam or just to troll. Very rarely has anyone been banned otherwise, and if they are it's normally 24 hours to cool off. As for the worst thing, honestly I can't think of an example. If I do, I'll let you know. Thanks. To be honest with you, this is the only fan site/message board I have ever been a member of, sports, pop culture or politics. Just MB.com
