Fish4Life Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The number 10 question on MLB.com's Top 20 questions: 10. Will the Marlins shock the world again? That phrase was last uttered while they were winning it all in 2003. This is a team that has been through a housecleaning before, and they have a whole new look in 2006. Gone are Juan Pierre, Mike Lowell, Luis Castillo, A.J. Burnett and Paul LoDuca. Even Jack McKeon is gone in the dugout, replaced by manager Joe Girardi. Dontrelle Willis led the Majors with 22 wins in 2005 and he's back. Somehow, this franchise has seemed to thrive when others have completely written them off. When I read the question I hear JP's voice in my mind "WE SHOCKED THE WORLD, WE SHOCKED THE WORLD!" Although we may be in the dumps guys Im excited to watch some fresh faces this season... Im sick of reading the negative about all these trades... Look at the bright side, BASEBALL and the FISH are almost here!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureGM Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 The 2003 season wasn't a huge surprise to me, I thought our team had a legitimate chance to win some big games. It was just surprising to non-Marlins fans. I don't think that this team will have any chemistry this year, it has too many inexperienced rookies. It's going to take 2-3 years minimum for this team to click, and by then, they will likely be elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I miss Luis. The Pokey signing did cheer me up considerably, I must admit. I am excited to see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Abunch of you talented kids that get along, could spell trouble for other teams. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Fish do well, but it wouldn't surpirse me if they sucked. It is all about how this team gels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Fish do well, but it wouldn't surpirse me if they sucked. It is all about how this team gels. hey man thats true. But these young kids all they want to do is play baseball. they want to be the best they can. You dont think they hear all the crap that they talk about them. Hey superstars have to come from somewhere , heck everybody went to the minor leagues. These are some bright young stars and they will get mad and they will perform so these teams should be scared, because these marlins are gonna win a different way, a new way. They are gonna do plays they didnt do with mckeon , hit and run, steaal a hell of a lot more because we have speed(not castillo that is always limping) better more aggresive players that are gonna do the little stuff to win. And if your a real true fan like i know i am, you always gotta believe. I believed when they were down in the nlcs against the cubs i beleived. now is when the real fans come out . not the bandwagon.I am a real fan.

JJ24 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 hey if a 12 year old kid can manage a team to the playoffs why cant a bunch of 19 year olds get us there oh wait that was a movie. but really its baseball anything can happen and ill believe till we are mathematically out of the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8yrGator Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I BELIEVE!!! I too told everyone some how some way we were going to win 3 straight against the cubs...we were going to go into wrigley and beat those two overrated pitchers... MARLINS 2006...I BELIEVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 At least in '03 we had an established lead-off hitter and closer to go with a veteran catcher addition. I think shocking the world next year would simply involve cracking the good side of .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelmsE Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It's going to be very interesting to see how 2006 pans out for the fish but either way I am extremely excited to watch this team the next couple of years.. should be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 We can't win a championship with a 3/25 turnover ratio---but it will be fun to watch either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a one game playoff with the Mariners, only to have Randy Johnson come in from the bullpen to strike out the guy from 30somehting. But he did make baseball fun again!!
