cdy_0513 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 It's just aggravating that we have been lied to over and over. Don't keep setting public deadlines that you can't hit. It just makes you look like a jackass. Tell us from the get go that it may hit some roadblocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdy_0513 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It doesn't necessarily mean they've been lying. We were misled many times. Whether it was intentional or not is a different story...I highly doubt it was. As a business man, if I give my customers a deadline, I better hit it. If I don't, they lose faith i me, which means I lose business. Things happen...I understand that, but they have given multiple deadlines and missed them all. We are now six months behind the original deadline. That's inexcusable. understand in the scheme of things, this is a minor problem, but it is still bad business. As a fan base, we need some sort of positivity to grasp on to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbob1313 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 It'd be a really silly person who decides not to be a customer anymore because they didn't find out the stadium name when they originally thought they would. I'd bet they're banking on the fact that ultimately, nobody cares even a little bit when the name is announced. And it's not like you're being denied a product or service, so I don't think there's a huge need to get the name announced on time. It's superfluous.

I understand what you're saying, and I agree, it would be silly for somebody to no longer go to games for that reason. In general, it's a bad business practice. We're not being denied a service, but really what it turned out to be was about an extra five let downs added to a season full of let downs. If it was irrelevant to us fans, there wouldn't be 24 pages in this thread. Again, the announcement could bring a positive energy to the fan base.

Entendu Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 If this delay gets the team an extra couple of million a year as a result of a bidding war, I don't think they really care about keeping us waiting a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdy_0513 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I doubt there is a bidding war. I suspect the Marlins are trying to run their price up, and their suitors don't want to pay it. We're a "work of art" now. Monetarily, I think Loria is a lot more proud of this team than anybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishFan88 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 great new thread title. And i also love how our fanbase is always contextually characterized as some sort of apathetic, lazy, old, dying, disinterested pack or douchebags.

Old Timer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I mean, in South Florida like every other car is some type of luxury car (Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Lexus, Jaguar, etc.) it would be a great place to capitalize. Hmmmm, you don't live in my neighborhood I can see. Here every other vehicle is an SUV, economy car or old wreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negativity on this forum alone the second half of the season supports my case. Other than us having a new stadium, tell me something positve about this team currently.

Having a bunch of young talent and anywhere from $20-30 million to spend on free agents and trades this offseason?We've always had a bunch of young talent. In fact, our farm system is much more depleted than in previous years. And the money, i'll believe it when it happens. We had "big signings" as far as our FO is concerned this past year too. We got Buck and Vazquez. Javy was good, but we still found ourselves 30 games back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AeroFishOne Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 For being a Marlins fan, Cdy is trying really hard to convince everyone else that we shouldn't be. Dude we get you don't like the management but to say that nothing positive is going down, makes it seem like your head is in the sand.

cdy_0513 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I love the Marlins. I'm a diehard fan. I am in no way trying to convince anybody not to be a fan....thats pretty stupid accusation. Nobody can deny that half of our fan base is pissed off and fed up with the consistent mediocrity. Our management are not good business men.

louiecastillo1 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 As long as the stadium name is not on the level of the new uniforms and home run monstrosity, I don't care what they name it. In fact, they can wait 20 years to announce it for all I care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
