Hugg Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I know most people but don't know a lot about us, but this is ridiculous... 1) Which team's pitching staff would you want heading into the playoffs? 40.8% Cubs 18.2% A's 17.2% Yankees 6.7% Red Sox 6.2% Braves 4.5% Twins 4.4% Giants 2.0% Marlins 8) Who will represent the National League in the World Series? 36.9% Cubs 36.2% Giants 22.1% Braves 4.9% Marlins 9) Who will win the World Series? 25.4% Red Sox 20.0% Yankees 18.0% Cubs 14.1% Giants 10.3% Braves 5.8% Twins 4.4% A's 2.0% Marlins Not that any of this matters, I just don't like it.

Mabdul Doobakus Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Hey, really, can you blame people? Why would people pick the Marlins to make the World Series? The pitching staff thing is a little odd, considering that's our strength. That whole question is out of whack. Marlins and the Giants at the bottom? Ours will probably be the lowest scoring series of all. And the Red Sox fourth????(????????????????)?????????????(????)??(?)????? ? ?????? Huh? If their pitching were any good they'd run away with the World Series. Pedro's good though. Where the Marlins have a good chance to surprise people is with stellar defense and a better-than-expected bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugg Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 Yeah, the pitching staff one was the one that I really didn't like. The other two, I pretty much expected us to be last, I just threw those in to illustrate it...even though the margin in the NL is a little ridiculous.

SlapHands69 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 What up with the Sox talk. Have you guys forgot about the curse? This team ain't going to win nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Card Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 1) Which team's pitching staff would you want heading into the playoffs? 40.8% Cubs 18.2% A's 17.2% Yankees 6.7% Red Sox 6.2% Braves 4.5% Twins 4.4% Giants 2.0% Marlins HOW is that possible? HOW!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan24 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 HOW is that possible? HOW!? The Marlins in people's minds aren't all that flashy. They don't stand out like the other 7 teams on that list and while IMO our starting five is just as good as the starting 5 of the Cubs, people are going to pick the Cubs because that's all they've heard about all season. Believe me if it comes down to it and the Fish go all the way, then people are going to know the names of Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Mike Redman, Carl Pavano and Dontrelle Willis.

FreshFish Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I like us being the underdogs. I say this WILL keep our team motivated and loose. Being the underdog is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBurque Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 The marlins have never been anything BUT the underdog. FishFan24 is right though, America will know the names of our staff by heart once this thing is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miami15 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 The people voting in that Sportsnation poll are all losers who don't have jobs and vote in online polls all day (I have to admit, I voted . . . for the Marlins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggy Cab Taxi Co. Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 You don't need respect to win. Sometimes it is fun to be the dark horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami15 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Yeah, but people can't see we have been the hottest team in el beisbol for months? Minny has a better chance at the World Series than SF does. That is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Josh Beckett, Brad Penny, Mike Redman, Carl Pavano and Dontrelle Willis. Well, I was thinking more about Mark Redman as a top notch pitcher, but if Mike is bored behind Pudge..... :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggy Cab Taxi Co. Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Being the dark horse, or the underdog, is the best position in sports. No one expects you to win, so it's ok when you lose, but if you win you can stuff it in people's faces that they never gave you any respect. New England Patriots fan, 1995-2003.
