The Marlins need a crowd...
The rest of Europe is much better than this country. Very passionate fans, some great chants ect. That bottom one is brilliant. Lech Poznan are known for there turning backs and jumping together routine when they score. I personally would love to see something like this in American sport. An example of how it can be done, is Greek giants Panithanikos(Spellcheck) going to a basketball game. taking 20000 fans and making it epic. Imagine this at a Lakers game, ha

Stereotypes..
I have heard that Englishmen don't take care of their teeth. Never got that, only time you see bad teeth like in all places is the drug users. There are a few of America, the weight is one, rednecks are another. Only select parts have rednecks and the weight im not to sure on, when i have been to America and Florida i have experience large people. In the Outback restaurant i saw what i could describe as a 30 stone man. 30x14 to get your pounds.

It's okay when it's in a three-way It's not gay when it's in a three-way With a honey in the middle, there's some leeway

- The Marlins need a crowd...
I know Schnellder, and i don't get why it has to be that way. Even the african drum up incredible noise at matches for all sports. So why can't America!?- The Marlins need a crowd...
Now, being a relatively new fan of the Marlins, the one thing i have come to notice is the lack of support. I am not talking about gates, and the number of people that the Sun Life brings in, i am talking about atmosphere. Its lifeless, it quiet and if you close your eyes you could drift to sleep listening to the sweet whispers of the desperate commentators. Being a Rotherham fan, we get 3500 fans a home game, yet we play in a 25000 seater stadium. If you scatter these fans about you have nothing, but put them in in a group, and walah you have an atmosphere. Football is a sport full of songs, chants and the crowd is called the 12th man to a team and can have a real effect if they get behind the team. The players love it. Another example, is the England Barmy Army for Cricket, a boring sport, yet during the Ashes and big games, the barmy Army, a group of 500 gather with instruments and sing songs, chant ect. It is great to see and helps the team. If you haven't already got where i am going with this, my point is, we don't need a big crowd, just place everyone that enters the SunLife stadium, who is willing to contribute to an atmosphere, actually enjoy a good game of baseball and also get behind there team into one or two blocks. Different prices you say? Well, i think they will have to rethink this, maybe meet in the middle of some prices depending where they did it. Or give the ones who pay more privileges, such as free food and drink for the night ect. Its something that i would like to see the Marlins at least think about, as i don't like watching Fish games and seeing thousands scattered about all over the place, makes it worse than it actually is. It is possible to get an atmosphere going. This may be laughed at, but i'm sure it would help the team. Btw, i wish baseball would get rid of those God awful organs. Here are some videos to help demonstrate my point from both Rotherham and England. The first video there are 7000 fans as it is a big game. As you can see there are 18000 seats spare, yet there is a good atmosphere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGvTHaQjKLE&feature=related Second, the England Barmy Army, 200 fans in a huge stadium, full to the brim but just 200 partake in this...- 6/8 - Braves @ Marlins - 7:10
When was that one ever going to be used? haha- 6/8 - Braves @ Marlins - 7:10

Gonna give it a miss tonight and pray for a Marlins win.- 6/7 Post Game
Im going with a new approach to things. I expect us to lose every game from now till the end of the season. Anything other than a loss is a positive.- 6/7 Post Game
When are Hanley and JJ likely to be back? I could cry.- Stereotypes..
Would have to agree, i don't even like battered sausage so the Mars bar would be plain sick.- 6/7 - Braves vs Marlins - 7:10

Patrick Hope is the next in to the Marlins- Stereotypes..
That one is true. You had a battered Mars bar?- Stereotypes..
Probably one of the worst subject about and can cause a lot of offence to many. Had an interesting conversation this morning with a friend who seems to pull to all stereotypes known to man. She mentioned one so i persisted to ask about everywhere else. I don't think i will post them as some could cause offence. But it was ridiculous about all the stuff she believed. It is the same in the USA? Do people believe the claims? Such as all Englishman are bowler-hat wearing toffee nosed tea drinkers? P.S I hate tea.- MLB draft..
I just like the name Bubba, but been watching alot about him, and they did a piece on him last night on the show. Looks like an incredible player. Plays all 3 big sports and with ease.- Brewers@Marlins 6/6/11 7:10pm EST
