Mr. Man

Just wanted to chime in with a random stat. 3 out of the top 5 hitters in the NL are former Marlins. What time to be alive. 😃

That firesale did bring in the young talent that would be world champs in 2003. So that's the upside there.

They were really bad in 1999 too. So it stretched out.

The most interesting thing there for me is that they have never started the season 0-5.

He can have my job. And I can have his.

Just a little FYI. It's sort of a stream on marlins.com.

I think Sherman's underlings are worse, but Loria meddles more. Personally for me I prefer Sherman. All he has to do is hire the right people.

It's a lot of people that shouldn't own a sports franchise, and Jeffrey Loria is one of them. Whatever Sherman is doing does not change my opinion about Loria. And I never had a problem with Mike Hill. Simply because I can't really pass judgement on management when an owner interferes.

That's really great. First one in Marlins history.

I remember seeing that walk off hit. And I remember the previous pitch when the pitcher came inside and Renteria kind of played it up a little bit like he was really shaken up a little bit by the close pitch. I thought that he was going to look for the next pitch outside. I was happy for the win and felt very proud to have to have seen that hit coming, which the pitcher didn't. 😊

Well they won the 2003 WS with a team of good contact hitters, that played great defense, and had great pitching. Maybe it shouldn't have taken 20 years to try to replicate a little of that.

I've checked out almost completely. Some of it is because it takes a bazillion dollars to get Bally's sports. But they are still my team, and I never give up my teams personally, outside of relocation. I'm just waiting to see a new GM before I start to give them a clean slate.

People tend to forget that 1998 was not a stand alone season. 1999 they lost 98 games as well. That season should be on this list as well.
