September 17, 200521 yr It's because the crowd gave Lowell a STANDING OVATION when he pinch hit yesterday.? I was baffled.? I felt like I was in the twilight zone.? A standing ovation for a guy making 7.5 million a year who is hitting .232 with 6 homers. 949826[/snapback] I was there, and I was one of those standing. It's called respect. And I was proud of being a Marlins fan. You do the same in Philladelphia and they would have booed him 949840[/snapback] Some of our "fans" act like Phillies fans do. And there's no greater insult that I can give a fan than to say that.

What has Mike Lowell done for you to respect him so much? Marlin fans need to show their FRUSTRATIONS because everything is NOT OKAY. All year the whole Florida Marlins organization and the fans have been saying "its okay, this team is very talented, we'll make the playoffs" well were behind houston and philly for the wild card spot. It's not okay. And respect for a guy who is making 7.5 million dollars and is not doing his job? Okay...

Okay... 949909[/snapback] I certainly respect him for not complaining about losing his job and finding a bunch of different ways to try and deal with his slump. I'm sure he's trying as hard as he can to get out of it. It's not like he's doing this on purpose.
September 17, 200521 yr ummmmmmm...why is Lowell playing? 949762[/snapback] Because of his defense 949969[/snapback] Which is negated by moving Cabrera back to left field

Sure have been a lot of unnamed sources this year, some of which reported by writers who have often ignored his poor performance or the general offensive troubles the Marlins have had.

No thanks.

September 17, 200521 yr ummmmmmm...why is Lowell playing? 949762[/snapback] Yeah, so I officially hate this lineup 949769[/snapback] I agree. This is a terrible lineup. 949775[/snapback] I was shocked when I got to my seats and took a look at the lineup. Sure it was different but made absolutely no sense at all. Pierre hitting second behind Castillo? I thought that looked like a double play in the making and just as expected Luiy gets a single to lead off and Pierre serves us a perfect double play ball. That set the offensive tone for the day. Padilla gave us a great opportunity to take a strong lead then Conine and LoDuca save him. It was nice to see the O finally generate a run in the 8th. Ahh, but then another meltdown spearheaded this time by a defensive collapse. :confused
September 17, 200521 yr This is going to be interesting. 949959[/snapback] Well, I guess I was right..... today's game was interesting, just for all the wrong reasons :plain. This is also the first time in franchise history that a Marlins pitcher has hit anywhere besides 9th in the lineup.
