  1. If they pay Giancarlo, all will be forgiven lol No it won't, they need about 30 press conferences over 30 days to explain to me what their plan is for the future. I don't even care actually, I'll follow this team in 5 years when there is new management and the art sculpture is demolished.
  2. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/20972787/marlins-owner-rips-team-and-city-apart-with-despicable-trade-and-must-be-stopped Giancarlo Stanton was pissed too. What a complete joke.
  3. Ozzie Guillen �@OzzieGuillen jays getting good players play hard whit fun good luck to my boys love thos guys they play hard for me and very profesional F all of this. Now there really is no sense in defending this team, I won't even do it. No reason or excuse for this to happen again.
  4. I don't think I've posted in about 4 years, but I've remained a fan over that time, and have been a fan since about 1995, when baseball returned from the strike. I can no longer be a fan of this team or spend another dime in support of this team as long as the current ownership remains in place. Miami is my home, and I will leave the door open to return when these guys get run out of town. But I'm not sure where I go next from here. This move is DISGUSTING. This goes way past the previous firesales. Way, way past. Those firesales may have felt like a slap in the face back then, but, frankly, the term "market correction" was not entirely inappropriate. Attendance was pretty low. Sure, the franchise made a butt load of money through profit sharing, but that was just the Marlins fleecing Major League Baseball. Now they've managed to fleece the city of Miami. During the worst economic slump in most of our lifetimes, they took $360 million from Miami taxpayers to build their stadium. We went along with this, in part, because they made us a lot of promises. They promised to field a competitive team. And then, in less than a year, they tore the team to shreds. If you are a citizen of Miami, if you have any municipal pride, I have no idea how you can continue to root for this team under this ownership. I mean, no offense, but they just played us all for a bunch of idiots. Look...they've already won. They played us for idiots, and they won. That money is gone, and we're not getting it back. This franchise is now worth three times what Loria payed for it, and much of that is because of this new stadium, which he tricked us into paying for. If you're OK with that, fine...continue to support this team. I will not go to another game and will not watch another game until this disgusting ownership is gone. And, as for Loria...how much money is enough? This man was ridiculously wealthy before he ever got into baseball, and now he's wealthier still. But at what cost? How much money is it worth to destroy your integrity and become a villain? I will never understand the motivation of such a man. Have another yacht, you doughy prick. I'm with ya too many fire sales this was the last straw.
  5. Matt Skole future Washington National starter.
  6. Good discussion, really. It's been fun.
  7. LeBlanc is a highly serviceable 3rd or 4th starter in my opinion... He certainly has shown that, no doubt.
  8. Sorry if I didn't explain what I meant, I re-read it and it sounded wrong. I'm not saying you can't be a good person without religion but for me it makes me a better person believing in Christ and believing in the Word of God and what it says.
  9. The fourth options is the best bet imo, it was tough considering Nolasco just through a complete game but I think his time has come and gone, let Eovaldi figure out the kinks and move on with the younger players. Johnson Buehrle Turner LeBlanc Eovaldi Looks good, don't know how long LeBlanc will have it or if Eovaldi will ever be a real true solid overall pitcher but he's had a few great games and no team is going to have all aces. Unless the FO which although is very doubtful tries to add another arm but I don't think its necessary at this point.
  10. Let him and Heath Bell battle it out in spring training. I'm not sold on Cishek or Bell for that matter but let em battle.
  11. Why would we move a guy who's been an ace most of his years and is improving every other start. The entire team doesn't suck there were just pieces.
  12. Really no reason to get rid of him at this point he's a proven veteran bat. Whether he's a starter of not is 50/50 on my table depends where LoMo is and what he does in a few months of play.
  13. It's been too long to consider him a fluke. Some players just take longer to figure things out. He should be a starter next year just by what he's done this year there is no reason to throw out someone unproven, assuming we fill one of the outfield spots (LF or CF). But if it is a fluke I hope he has at least 8 more years of fluke play.
  14. Those who give a sh*t about gay marriage who do not have a religious background are some of the worst people in the world. There's zero reason care what someone else is doing. People who have faith at least can justify their negativity towards the subject through their faith. Others who reject it without any faith or religious background have zero justifiable means (even if you're counting faith as justifiable...). Eh, I'm not sure that saying "I feel that it contributes to the tearing down of the fabric of society" or whatever is made any more valid by adding "because it's in this book." Sure it is, a lot of people who aren't Christians, have terrible lifestyles and don't care because heck it's who they are, why should they change. The Bible talks all about treating others with respect and being kind to people regardless of what they do to you. Why should I be nice outside of that, if the goal is to get a great job and make more money than you why the heck would I care about you or what happens to you, my goal is to get to the top faster than anyone. Outside of believing in Christ and the Word of God, only I matter in essence. But yea there are just "good" people, who chose to do the right thing, I understand that. To say it doesn't make it any more valid because it's in a book that people believe is the Word of God though is silly. It makes it more valid to me.
  15. Ok so lets think about this if you were gay and you were mistreated and bullied and wondered why and asked me, but you said couldn't change it because it was how you were born. (Using Dr. Beinfest theory of being born gay) I then ask why anyone would do something that could get them sent to jail and hated by everyone? Think Jerry Sandusky. Well, if they are both sexually attracted to things, then logic would follow that they are both born that way. So really Jerry Sandusky couldn't do anything about it right? It's a choice.
  16. and even worse than that having to be interviewed by Kallas. Yes.
  17. There was nothing wrong with the article. I tried to believe there was, but in reality there wasn't. As has already been said he wasn't performing here. He seems to be doing a respectable job with the Dodgers nothing great but not bad either.
  18. Get well soon LoMo and then produce! So Mike do you want a new hitting coach?
  19. There is nothing in the Bible that talks about interracial marriage being wrong, if you think that you're taking the Bible out of context. It does say that a virgin who is raped outside of a city has to marry the man who did it, provided that he pays a fee to her father. Would you like to see that codified into law? Oh, it also says that if a woman says she is a virgin upon marriage and her husband says she isn't, her mother and father have to produce proof that she was a virgin, or the men of town have to stone her for bringing shame upon her father's house. Should the government get involved in the woman's murder, or can we handle this as a mob? "You must purge the evil from among you." It was custom back then to make a man who raped a young girl get married to her. More emphasis was put on the punishment of the man not being able to chose who he wanted to be with because he did not have self control. He was also not allowed to get divorced. Understand that losing your virginity before marriage was not only looked down upon but also not really an option and lying was punished accordingly with stricter laws (obviously) than we have today. It was also largely a culture thing in that time. Romans 8 talks about the Law of Moses (deuteronomy, and all of the above) not being able to save us as humans because of our sinful nature thus God sent Christ to die for our sins, and would later say "sin no more" (New testament) It is very easy for the Bible to be questioned if it's taken out of context because of how society has changed from the old testament to today. This is also why if you're really interested in knowing the truth that you read the whole Bible and not pick bits and pieces, it's meant to be read as a book and not verse by verse.Read the bible. You haven't. Don't lie. I've read it 3 times in its entirety and many more times in bible study and random classes. Its a scary book. Why do you think it is taught in bits and pieces? Hint...because people just coming into the religion would run away if they took the time to read on their own. They need to be fully engulfed to get passed the BS. If you had read the Bible in it's entirely, there would be a lot more understanding on your part. So no, I don't believe you've read it, but thats neither here nor there. I already explained above that if the Bible is taken out in bits and pieces by someone who doesn't understand what Christianity is, it won't make sense. I mean it's like beating a dead horse here but isn't it interesting that being gay, a supposed sin, is one of the church's #1 issues with society? A 'sin' that ultimately effects nobody but the individual? Y'know... instead of the hundreds of sins that occur on a daily basis that effect the lives of others? Talk about being afraid of gay people... I'm beating a dead horse here but it doesn't effect just the individual, step outside of the individuals perspective and look at it from a family stand point and other people that might be involved. It won't make sense unless you understand my belief in the Bible though. I don't speak for the church nor do I believe they target gays more than other sins, but I believe the act of being gay and not choosing to change your ways is a sin, because the concept of Christianity says it is. The concept of Christianity also basis a large emphasis on traditional marriage as ordained by God or sexual relations if you will in the story of Adam and Eve. It's not like this is some foreign concept that everyone has some weird problem with all of a sudden. For the record I don't hate gays or even choose to avoid them, you must first relate to someone to understand them, so from my belief what good is it doing if hate their life choices. Hate the sin, love the sinner, it's a simple concept. Also note it's not just religious organizations who are against the idea of gay marriage there are a lot of what I suppose you would term "good people" without a religious backing that don't agree with it as well.
  20. you've gotta be talking about the FO, yeah? I think it was August 13th: Reyes was the only guy in the starting lineup that was on the starting lineup opening day. that's some turnover right there. I was talking about the front office yes, not the players. Turnover is bad. The goal is to have good employees have long term success. I never said it was good, what I was saying is that there needs to be changes in the FO, because the same group has been in place for too long without success. They got us a new stadium and pulled in Stanton but the farm system has sucked for way too long outside of that and the team continues to fail at reaching the playoffs.
  21. There's a LOT of turnover in our organization. There hasn't been enough if you ask me... it will all change in the offseason though.
