Posted July 17, 200321 yr I'm no expert on our minor leagues and I don't have any "inside info" or stipulations about who can or should be traded, but I do know this... All this talk isn't true fan support. We are here, almost 24 hours away from a huge game and the start of a huge series and homestand for us, and all I see on this board are trade rumors and trade stipulations which just end up starting cyclical, never-ending arguments. You guys are starting to sound more like stock brokers than fans - only concerned with which acquistions will reap the most benefits. Shouldn't fanatics like us love the team for who it is and not who it can get? It almost sounds like the Yankees in here at times! Go ahead, discredit my words because I'm a 17 year old girl who's not as "knowledgable" as many of you are, but at least I know what it is to be a true fan.
July 17, 200321 yr so learning about players who may be in our future means we arent good fans? some of us like to look into the future and see who comes and goes but just because some of us like prospects doesnt mean we are any less of a fan
July 17, 200321 yr so learning about players who may be in our future means we arent good fans? some of us like to look into the future and see who comes and goes but just because some of us like prospects doesnt mean we are any less of a fan agreed. I think since we've had a 3 day layoff we're all going a bit crazy. We need a GAME to talk about!
July 17, 200321 yr Call me crazy, but I think it's possible to enjoy a team AND discuss trades, rumors, etc. at the same time.
July 17, 200321 yr As soon as the Marlins start playing again i'll shut up about all the prospects and rumors etc.
July 17, 200321 yr As soon as the Marlins start playing again i'll shut up about all the prospects and rumors etc. no you wont
July 17, 200321 yr Author so learning about players who may be in our future means we arent good fans? some of us like to look into the future and see who comes and goes but just because some of us like prospects doesnt mean we are any less of a fan I'm not saying to ignore trade rumors and minor league prospects all together - actually, I like reading the posts about the prospects a lot. It's the incessant trade rumor threads that are just clogging up this board that bother me because they're redundant and in most cases end up bashing some of the players that we should be supporting as fans. I think since we've had a 3 day layoff we're all going a bit crazy. We need a GAME to talk about! I agree - the 3-day layoff may be sparking all this. But we DO have a game to talk about - and it's tomorrow!
July 17, 200321 yr no you wont i usually dont talk about Prospects and all...but since theres nothing else to do i do talk bout' it... and besides...talking about Prospects is better than talking about Amo Beisbol :shifty
July 17, 200321 yr Author meh there is nothing more fun that bashing players ... this coming from the same person that said that only real sluts are allowed on this board... Joking or not, you're starting to sound like odom006, Ramp.

July 17, 200321 yr Ok take it easy girlfriend... :cool We all want the team to win and if spending as much time on this site posting about every topic possible doesn't show we're all real fans, I don't know what would. Although your idea of a "true fan" might differ from mine... It's just fun to kick around ideas like that. Besides, this gets a little boring after a while..... : Cape: Marlins rule! Ramp: Go Marlins! We're the best! Hotcorner: Bring in Vladimir Nunez! WildCard: You the man Dontrelle! FishFillet: I love Admin Beinfest! Minus: Derek Lee's the greatest! Edcanes: Let's win today! Odom: yo felas shnizzle da gaz wud thx vye rhl67 s$2#7@*% Rune: Phills are beating the Mets! Pudge: Is AJ pitching today? 1truefan: We're gonna kill the Cubs! FishFillet: The Cubs are gonna kill us! DasTexan: You guys are morons.
July 17, 200321 yr Author he was just joking about the "real sluts"... I figured as much and that's why I said "Joking or not"...
July 17, 200321 yr Author FishFillet: The Cubs are gonna kill us! DasTexan: You guys are morons. LMFAO :lol

DasTexan: You guys are morons. lmao I would be more likely to say "Marlins will win the NL East," but it's still good.
July 17, 200321 yr LMAO Was it ramp that said that it's the name on the front, not on the back that we root for?

July 17, 200321 yr LMAO Was it ramp that said that it's the name on the front, not on the back that we root for? Thats why I buy jerseys with no names on the back, because I'm a fan of the team and not of individual players. The only time I buy a jersey that has a name on the back is like a Mike Vick jersey where I don't really love the Falcons. But I love all Marlins (for the most part). And to marlinsgirl, I do this all the time in school at lunch. My friends and I do it in leagues and stuff. Makes it fun. We just want the team to be better, thats why we talk and argue. But yes, it can get monotonous after a while (SEE: My explosion in the DLee/Klesko Thread).
