ESPN Poll

5) Do you think the Marlins' situation is bad for baseball?

 

52.3% No, not every franchise can be the Yankees or Red Sox

47.7% Yes, the team should move or be contracted

 

Worst poll series ever

some questions were lacking options, #5 should have included: they need a new owner/stadium

Interesting that most of these voters are agreeing with the Marlins.

 

I like my poll more.

The Marlins situation is terrific for baseball because the rest of Marlins gets to reap the benefits of us giving them our talent.

On question 1 they stole my sig!

I hate losing Miggy and Dontrelle as much as anyone, but I can't blame the Marlins. If such a small percentage of South Floridians are willing to spend money to actually attend games, why should they continue to lose money? And I don't want to get into the argument on how much they actually lose, or if they lose anything at all... But they put a great team on the field for a few years and attendance didn't significantly increase... As a fan, it sucks to come to that realization, but baseball is a business... I don't blame them at all for making the moves they have made since taking over the team.

ESPN can go sit on another 4-letter word...

Is it possible to make a post without plugging your site? You're 4 for 4 so far...

For the question about the Marlins' situation being bad for baseball, I wished they had a "Yes, because 'Loria is a cheapskate'" option. They should have put that as an answer to more of the questions...
