September 23, 200620 yr If Mike Lowell had played a normal season for him, it might have been the difference.
September 23, 200620 yr Where is the "why didn't we make the playoffs in 1996 poll?" 1996 - best slogan ever - "Locked Cocked and Ready"
September 24, 200620 yr In a 162 game season, it's hard to just point at one person/part of the game you can blame and say "THAT'S the reason we didn't make it." Just say it's a combination of things, and move on.
September 24, 200620 yr MIKE LOWELL = GREATEST MARLIN EVER (I thought this was a double topic,and thought it said 2006, so i voted lowell thinking it was the joke option, oops!)
September 24, 200620 yr Author We cannot blame Lowell. Mikey will always be remembered as the best Marlin ever. If it was not cause of Lowell we would not have a World Series in 2003. Also Pierre had a horrible year plus there was a lot of injuries which included: Paul Lo Duca Luis Castillo Alex Gonzalez Juan Encarnacion Beckett
September 24, 200620 yr Of all the scapegosts/excuses listed my favorite one not mentioned is AJ. He quit on the team, the manager and the fans. I would also agree that team had "NO Marbles".
September 24, 200620 yr Carlos Delgado for not being a team/clubhouse leader. does he still refuse to stand during god bless america? classy guy.
