September 17, 200521 yr I hope the marlins read this s*** so they know how disapointed we all are, screw them, they cause me nothiin but frustration.
September 17, 200521 yr I think this is one the worst threads I've ever read, ever, on any forum. Some of you have absolutely no threshold for adversity. I blew a good part of my paycheck to go to this game with my girlfriend, sat through the heat till the very last out and I would NEVER rip the team like some of you Chicken Littles are. If this team turns it around, you will have NO right to cheer for them and count yourselves as Marlin fans.
September 17, 200521 yr I love this team so much but when it comes down to it i know that what im about to say is true. this team will not head into the playoffs this season its going to be the astros or the phillies. we dont deserve it either. in my opinion we only have a chance to win when dontrelle pitches and when todd jones closes it out because this team is pathetic. bullpen sucks ass and there is no offense on this team. so thats it where out and this game booked it. we cant score and we have no pitching only the d-train and jones everyone else blows and im gonna continue to root for them and i will be shocked if they turn it around and i dont care if people rag on me if they do because as of right now this team sucks ass. Better Luck Next Season.
September 17, 200521 yr Beinfest better do something this offseason because I cannot watch this team another year. 950730[/snapback] Ah the sound of a fairweather fan. From the same person who has quit in the early innings of many games this season.

Look around a lot of the guys who have been here for 2-3 years are very pesismistic. Shut up.
September 17, 200521 yr They were really trashing us just now on ESPNEWS. 951188[/snapback] They are trashing us everywhere.
September 17, 200521 yr They were really trashing us just now on ESPNEWS. 951188[/snapback] They ought to be trashed... They're being trashed on this website too, lol.
September 17, 200521 yr Author I was at this game and I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this. I have seen some pretty sorry Marlins games in my lifetime but nothing like this. I have sunburns on my legs (yes, I wore sunscreen too), I was at the game despite being sick, and I was scary close to passing out and what did I get in return? A 10 run inning by the Phillies. I've never been to a day game this hot, I've been to some hot games but nothing like today. Today's game was inexcuseable. I know many have said this is the game we look back on that ended the season for many other games but this game was actually that game. This team just doesn't want it bad enough. 951228[/snapback] "I saw the Marlins implode in the 9th inning, and all I got was this lousy sunburn" :thumbup
September 17, 200521 yr This team has vastly underachieved and underperformed the whole year. The bullpen sucks balls and the pitching falters when we most need it. As much as I love this franchise, there is no heart in this team and they don't have what it takes to make it to the playoffs. They needed to step up their play this month and they haven't.

They needed to step up their play this month and they haven't. 951264[/snapback] They're showing us what they've shown us all year....terrible inconsistency. This is nothing more than another chapter of the book. Everyone knows this team has enough talent to win the division, yet they are struggling to stay in the playoff hunt. One week they charge to the lead on a tough road trip, then quickly give up the lead and are close to dropping out of contention in 4 nights. They squander opportunities and give away big innings to the competition. They look complacent at every level. And they certainly don't have that fire that the 2003 team had. Sure it's nice to see these threads where everyone is supposed to stand up and blindly clap and cheer the team on. I would have more faith if I actually saw the level of play on the field that looked like a playoff caliber team. The best I can tell from what they are showing me is this team will not make the playoffs. They'll probably miss it by a game or two. A fitting end would be to have another strong run to get back into contention and then blow the last two games to lose it. Call me pessimistic or whatever. I just call them like I see them and am not led by blind enthusiasm.

Even if they don't make the playoffs, they're OUR Florida Marlins. OUR team. Are you all just going to give up on them? It is not over. We have a strong team and we can still do it. And then everyone wonders why the Dolphins are so popular. People give up to easily. It's not over.
September 18, 200521 yr I'm sorry, I still have faith in this team. I'll still watch all the games. But that was the worst inning of baseball I have ever seen in my life, at any level of profession or amateurism. I've never seen a little league team perform that poorly. I literally left that stadium physically sick.

I literally left that stadium physically sick. 951405[/snapback] I'm with you Juanky. I love the team and will root for them no matter what. This season started with such great anticipation. The amount of disappointment we as fans have endured at times is unbearable. Fortunately for me, I got up and left the game in the 9th after Jones threw away the ball to 1B and gave up the lead. We lost the lead and they had men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs. It was obvious what was about to happen and I had seen enough. I was spared the agony of watching the rest of the blowout. But that's baseball and tomorrow is another day. I'll cheer them on the rest of the season. But I no longer have unrealistic expectations that this is a playoff team.
September 18, 200521 yr What really hurts is the double-whammy of 1) not making the playoffs this year and 2) likely not getting a new stadium This team is gone from Miami for sure. Which is a shame because before Fri. night game I actually saw some scalpers selling tickets outside Gate H for above-face. Myself waited in a line eight people deep to buy tickets. Maybe some fans are actually starting to take notice. Too little, too late.
