Posted August 26, 200321 yr It appears before the team headed back east to Pittsburgh the Marlins stop in Las Vegas per J. Loria orders. The owner wanted the team to have some fun and relax a little. Also I found this quotes from Loria as they were leaving SF... As the Florida Marlins boarded a bus that would take them to San Francisco International Airport, owner Jeffrey Loria turned to a clubhouse attendant at Pacific Bell Park and said: "See you in September." We'll be back here this year,'' Loria said before heading to Pittsburgh, where his team opens a three-game series Tuesday :marlins
August 26, 200321 yr scared me....I thought you were gonna say the latest rumor was that the Marlins could possibly move to Las Vegas...which would be hilarious with the whole Pete Rose controversy
August 26, 200321 yr nice to hear the owner gave them some time off.... i bet Fox and Mordy won big at the roulette tables.... lucky bitches...lol
August 26, 200321 yr Author No, but now that you brought it. I enjoy how sure Brain Fillet was that the Expos would be going to DC next year and now today. Oregon has pretty mush approve a new stadium for Baseball in Portland.
August 26, 200321 yr I thought it was something about Lowell going to that Slugger Challenge that they have in the offseason in Vegas.
August 26, 200321 yr Expos will be in Montreal for 2004. CFCF and RDS have offered the team a good TV contract for next season. I doubt the split home fields will be tried again.
August 26, 200321 yr Expos will be in Montreal for 2004. That's too bad, even though their attendance is nothing special in PR at least they get people in PR. Plus the team wanted PR.
August 26, 200321 yr Great attitude for Loria and we are in this hunt! We cant get down and start losing. Thats a good idea for the team to relax a little bit and get away from baseball.
August 26, 200321 yr That's too bad, even though their attendance is nothing special in PR at least they get people in PR. Plus the team wanted PR. They got a nice 35,001 tonight in the Big O. That is great for a Monday Night Promotion game, now if only Miami could realize they have a wildcard leading team? Do any of our Marlins employees that stroll this board (1truefan) have any info on the tickets sold for the Labor Day Weekend Series vs. Montreal?

Yeah but people come when you have $5 tickets and $1 hot dogs.
August 26, 200321 yr 35,001 on a Monday, hey Loria! We have low ticket prices, but cheaper food and drinks would be nice. Bring back the Coca-Cola $10 Real Deal. Remember what it was? Outfield reserve, peanuts, hot dog, 20 oz. coke and a copy of the Herald. Something like that would win over many fans who want the complete baseball experience.
August 26, 200321 yr I wonder if anyone went to the Bunny Ranch down there in vegas or even circus circus
August 26, 200321 yr Smart move by Loria. Get their minds off baseball a little, maybe even off the Phillies. You know they don't and won't say it, but the Phillies have got to be on every Marlin players mind. I'd be watching them like a hawk.
August 26, 200321 yr That's too bad, even though their attendance is nothing special in PR at least they get people in PR. Plus the team wanted PR. I doubt it would be possible for the Expos to play in Hiram Bithorn Stadium full time. Puerto Rico is right in the heat of tropical depression developments.(Although this season has been relatively quiet.). In August in Sempter, who knows what could happen. Actually, Puerto Rico isn't in the heat of developments...It's prone to get hit by more serious storms(Tropical Storms,Hurricanes.)
August 26, 200321 yr Phillies and the other 5 teams.... I don't worry about the teams behind us, because they're exactly that-- behind.
August 26, 200321 yr Yeah but people come when you have $5 tickets and $1 hot dogs. The marlins already got $2 tickets all season long... are you kidding me? hot dogs are like $2.50 or something, and same with the coke.. it should come out to less than 6$ everyday for the cheap fan. the only problem is parking.
August 26, 200321 yr Hey, we should do more gimics with 1 dollar hot dogs! We dont get any money off of em anyway! All we get money off is ticketsales. No parking. No concessions.
August 26, 200321 yr Is it up to Wayne when we want to do the $1 hotdog night or does Loria have to buy them first then do the promotion?
