July 1, 200323 yr Hehe, the funny thing about all of this is that the Cubs fans take Gammons comment regarding Lowell as gospel truth. I guess there will be some dissapointed Cubs :skippy I already posted it on a Cubs board... Ramp, I posted it on the WrigleyLounge... I belive you are registered there... what was their reaction??
July 1, 200323 yr We need a guarantee for a new ballpark by the end of this year, because it will be awarded by the end of this year. Then Loria and Co. must bid for it. (No $$$$4, but they must be able to convince MLB they will be ready) 2006 is pending the new St. Louis Ballpark. If it is not ready, an emergency change will be needed. :mischief2
July 1, 200323 yr Author How many team sites are you guys registered on? Just curious The marlins official site, ESPN in general, this, Redzone.com, and WrigleyLounge (I forget the actaul name of the site)
July 1, 200323 yr How many team sites are you guys registered on? Just curious Too many to remember. :lol
July 1, 200323 yr you cant get a jersey at eastbay.com, with any player and number, for $100..... but they are last year's jerseys(unless they have been recently updated)
July 1, 200323 yr 2000 was Florida, but Henry said he didn't want it and they gave it to Atlanta. what do you mean Henry said he didn't want it? It was Selig that took it away, Henry actually was pretty upset about it from what I remember.
July 1, 200323 yr Just saw the official site has 12 (thats right - 12) different marlins jerseys to choose from. U can customize 2 (black bp & grey road) for $108. Kinda pricey but a #35 Willis would be AWESOME

It was Selig that took it away, Henry actually was pretty upset about it from what I remember. If he was so upset why didn't he try to stop it? I've got to beleive that an agreement as big as hosting an all-star game has to have some type of contractual agreement binding it together, but Henry didn't pursue legal remedy to seek a resolution. I think Henry was already in bed with Bud by that time and they had a little back-room agreement - Henry doesn't rock the boat and Bud helps him get out of FL.
July 1, 200323 yr Author what was their reaction?? Kind with opions basically the same. Gammons always changes his mind about everything. he just goes with the flow of what's going on.
July 1, 200323 yr 2000 All-Star Game shifted from Florida to Atlanta. Citing concerns over the stability of the Marlins, MLB has moved the 2000 All-Star Game from Miami's Pro Player Stadium to Atlanta's Turner Field. John Henry, the Marlins' new owner, wasn't happy, calling the decision "outrageous... shocking... disappointing." MLB hinted that Florida would be considered again if it built a new, baseball-only stadium. Fish Fillet's point could still be true, who knows. At the time, Henry made a pretty big stink about it though.
July 1, 200323 yr Gammons just reflects what ever the current rumor mill is throwing out there. One night he says Lowell is retiring from baseball to go work in porn movies... I heard he will known as "Lowell the Pole." Any truth? :w00t
