Regardless of how ill-informed your post is, and realizing of course you must be just sick over the Cubbies choking, there's going to be 65,000 screaming, cheering Marlins fans in the stands when you "lovable losers" (isn't that your pet name for the team?) show up. BTW, wait til you hear those 65k screaming "Corky" when Mr. Cheater strolls to the plate. :w00t so the cubs choked. Implying that means you believe they should have won. as a marlins fan I would think you would point out what the marlins did to win and realize that they played the better game. What am ill-informed about? I stated the attendance totals and made an opinion based on that. I'm not here to troll, would appreciate that you not do the same. I was just providing an explaniation for Priors comments. No doubt, I'm sure you have great fans.

Believe me I understand that for the fans you have they are great. All I'm saying is that without more support the Marlins will not be able to keep the team together. And from a players perspective when they look up at a 60k stadium and see 15k fans... It looks pretty empty. Thats the angle Prior was coming from.

I used to live in Florida, was down there when they got the expansion team. I know a lot of the fans were lost after the firesale. Who could blame them though. I just don't understand how a team that is heading to the playoffs has trouble packing the house. Maybe a smaller stadium would serve the Marlins better.

Just wanted to say congrats on the win. I got tired of the bandwagon Marlin fans on the MLB board. Hope you don't mind me joining to talk some baseball. Looks like this is where the true marlin fans will be chatting. Your marlins fought hard and deserved the game. I couldn't believe Zambrano gave up 3 HR in one inning. The pitches he made were good, just looked like that is what they were expecting to see. He only gave up 8 in the entire season. Good luck in game 2. I'll still be rooting for my cubbies.

It's hard to argue with him. When you only start to support your team as the post season begins... Not coming out to support your team equals the worst fans. Although I'd have to argue that the Expos are worse, marlins attendance this year was pathetic for the success that they have had. The league avg for attendance was 2,273,813. The beloved marlins drew 1,275,686, thats nearly a million below the league avg. With that kind of support you will not see this team remaining together for more than this season. You have a lot of arbitration eligible players and Pudge is a Free Agent. I'm sure there are some good marlin fans. But as a whole they do not support their team.
