March 30, 200620 yr Ive been thinking about this for a LONG time,and now finally I get a chance to write and relax. Many people are questioning if the 2006 Florida Marlins are for REAL. As of right now it is very hard to say. IT IS TOOO EARLY, but I would have to think that Marlins may be the CLeveland Indians of last year. A underrated, overlooked team. Here are my reasons. These guys are all young, younger than me and most of us on here. Im 26. The average age on the teams is 22 ( I think). After the Marlins win a few games, and begin to gel, im pretty sure every sportswriter (excluding Dan LeBatard), would love to be with these young fresh guys. They are playing all heart. They are fresh. No egos (like the millionaire Yankees, Mets, and Red Sox) that like to go and "buy" a team. That clubhouse will be filled with music and laughter before and after games. They are kids growing to be men. They have that perfect clubhouse coach/leader in Joe Girardi, and the perfect player/humble leader in Lenny Harris (assuming he stays). NO EGOS. They may even have a "chip" on there shoulder, b/c everyone is writing them off, and as well all know, NOTHING is a given in sports (right YANKEE FANS). This team could be the teams of Oakland and Cleveland of the past few years, in letting go big $$$ for good prospects and good coaching. Notice how teams are not spending like a few years ago. I love this team, and I will go watch games this year. Plus for us guys, just imagine the females that will heading to see the games to check out OUR young studs... 2006, ALL HEART...ALL THE TIME 2006, WRITE OFF YOUR TAXES, NOT THE MARLINS 2006, LESS IS MORE.
March 30, 200620 yr If those little kids from Hardball can win a championship, why can't we? This season is for G-Baby!
March 30, 200620 yr 2006, WRITE OFF YOUR TAXES, NOT THE MARLINS haha Ya I'm ready for them to get going. Not nearly as optimistic as you but at least this team will be fun to watch.
March 30, 200620 yr If those little kids from Hardball can win a championship, why can't we? This season is for G-Baby! I think a better comparrison is needed, one where a kid doesnt die in the end.
March 30, 200620 yr Why do you always have to harp on the negative? You need to buck up sourpuss, there's a whole world out there for you to see.
March 30, 200620 yr Hardball, sad to say, just made me cry(in a manly way). Just didn't like the comparrison sorry.

Agree with alot of what this posts says, but i would say were more the 2004 Indians then 2005. I think we have some great kids, and after a year of experience and going through some growing pains, and maybe a free agent, or two, or trade, I would say we would be ready for another playoff run in 2007
