This WAS heartbreaking. I don't know what to think or say anymore, something is very wrong with this team .
July 19, 200521 yr If the Marlins lose 5 of their next 6, I'm gonna become a Red Sox fan.. 864464[/snapback] Hey, don't wait, jump ship now! When the Marlins start winning again you can come back. THAT WAY YOU GET TO ALWAYS WATCH A WINNER, COOL! :cool :lol

THAT WAY YOU GET TO ALWAYS WATCH A WINNER, COOL! :cool :lol 864485[/snapback] Nah.. If they lose 5 of the next 6, or the first 5, then I'm w/ the Red Sox.. been following them all this year, and I've watched most of the Marlin's games. IF, and only IF, they are really winning in mid-August, then I'll come back and watch. I'll still post here of course.
July 19, 200521 yr Being a good fan means sticking to your team when they are down and not jumping on the bandwagon of a championship team.
July 19, 200521 yr BenderRobot... Here is the typical south Florida sports fan. Jump on a winner until they lose. Hey, the Braves are winning, you can cheer for them. As a matter of fact, there are six division leaders, why not cheer for all of them. That brings the odds of your team making the world series pretty damn high. Awhile back there was a thread asking why the Marlins and their fans get no respect... BenderRobot's post is exhibit number one. Pretty damn sad if you ask me. :thumbdown

Pretty damn sad if you ask me. :thumbdown 864492[/snapback] I jumped on them in 2003, when I started my Baseball life. Mid-2003, when I didn't even know what a freakin double play was. When I didn't know what the cycle was, or about 85% of the game. I joined the Marlins fanbase when they we're winning, and that spoiled me pretty quickly. So I'm sure the fans that have been there for alot longer are more dedicated, and so, as I am not as dedicated as them, I made my post. I only watched the '97 WS, because, as a ton of South Florida is with Baseball, they only watch when something really big is happening. Therefore, my closing statement is, that I will do what I feel in Baseball on which team I want to be around. Thank you.

The reward is so much higher when you spend long days, years, watching a team struggle to finally find them holding a trophy somewhere down the line.

July 19, 200521 yr Therefore, my closing statement is, that I will do what I feel in Baseball on which team I want to be around. Check the Nationals forum...it's full of bandwagon fans.

Check the Nationals forum...it's full of bandwagon fans. 864502[/snapback] I don't think that's a fair comparison. The Nats are in a new town where fans have just now given the opportunity to truly follow them...the key will be to see how many stick around if/when things turn bad up in DC.
July 19, 200521 yr No, Winthrop.. Oh yeah, that's it. I knew I recognized the flag. I'm originally from Wilmington, NC.
July 19, 200521 yr amazing.. Im 14, started Baseball when I was 12. Not been around long, and I'm deciding to make my choice, and as I said, I was spoiled with winning in 2003. And you're jumping down my throat for a choice that I am making for MYSELF. Not any of you.
July 19, 200521 yr If the Fish come back from this road trip under .500, it will be interesting to see the attendance figures. They thought there were no fans when they were winning... I'll be at the Pirates and Nats series, I'll bet there will not be 10,000 at the games.
July 19, 200521 yr tell me how THIS game is heartbreaking? the team went down 7-4 and got lit up in the middle of the game. thye never had the lead. yeah, so what, they got their late runs and tied up the game but they've done that plenty of times. its funny how this team scores runs only after their pitching gives up a ton. now if we had played with a lead then lost the game THEN it would have been heartbreaking. you had to be expecting this after phily and the cubs dismantled us. heartbreaking? I would say "just about right" with regards to how this team has been playing all season.
July 19, 200521 yr If the Marlins lose 5 of their next 6, I'm gonna become a Red Sox fan.. 864464[/snapback] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
July 19, 200521 yr I fell asleep ... thankfully 864538[/snapback] I stayed up until the end of the ninth, and I decided I couldnt watch anymore. I am glad I turned it off or my shoe might have gone through the damn tv....bulls***!!!
July 19, 200521 yr You know whats funny. We've won our last 2 extra inning games on the bat of Enc. We were bound to lose one sooner or later. The problem is is that we are in too many extra inning games lately.
