December 3, 200520 yr Why are the Fans in Florida so fickle? So what if there is a fire sale...SO effing WHAT! If you were truly a baseball fan and if SouthFLA was truly a baseball town then the FANS would step up NOW more than ever and support the team. Show the politicians and MLB what they are missing out on. Support the Marlins no matter how bad you think they are!. But there is no effing way SouthFLA fans are going to do that (and I don't mean you guys) . Bottom line is without a winner fans just don;t go to games in SouthFLA... I mean c'mon.... 60k+ show up for the Marlins when they are in the playoffs or WS and yea I know the problems the team has are more than just fan support. But if the people of SouthFLA truly wanted to keep their team here simply showing up might actually do just that!! No instead you're going to bitch and moan about the owner or about the city... Boycotting the team is not the answer! no if south florida was such a great baseball market that they make it out to be..... they would have DEMANDED their local politicos to build a stadium for the team they love so much. they havent. period.
December 3, 200520 yr A local owner with deep pockets would have gotten the stadium deal complete. Face it, Loria and Samson are "carpetbaggers." They're not from So. Florida. They have no pull. No one knows them. Get the team a local owner and all of a sudden you'll see the stadium completed. I'm sorry, but that's just how things work. You mean like John Henry? Considering the money the county and city have been willing to pledge, yes. What happened between 98-02 and now? And why does not Loria deserve credit for his role in the change that occured?
