June 2, 200521 yr ESPN Game Recap Humberto Cota and Wilson doubled ahead of Lawton's single in the fifth, and Mackowiak and Wilson singled and scored on Redman's pinch-hit single in the sixth. Wilson scored from first base on the single, failing to stop at third after he saw right fielder Juan Encarnacion preparing to throw to second rather than the plate. "Those are the things we need to do to close the gap against the big-market teams," McClendon said.

June 2, 200521 yr He is refering to the Marlins because ever since the Marlins signed Carlos Delgado, that idiot owner of theirs started to put it in their heads that the Marlins are the same as the Yankees, Mets and Red Sox so people will start to pity them. Truly pathetic...

June 2, 200521 yr We are big market. We are low budget. The discrepancy is our own stadium. 792797[/snapback] Big market teams usually have more fans though. At any rate, these clown owners bitching about teams spending money to to shut up. It's more honorable then pocketing millions of dollars by pocketing all the profits.
