When they're in a fat losing streak they'll be my "commercial channel" when i'm watching TV as opposed to my prime choice.

 

But I can't blame the Fish for the big stinky dump the sports gods took on florida this early summer. Lightning out, Heat implode, Fish on skids, Seminoles get stomped on. God damn, it was looking like SOMEONE would have at least ONE championship.

 

 

The Gators can still win the College World Series

 

I would love for that to happen! =]

As would I.

Me three!!!

I feel that we watch the Marlins/baseball for two reasons,

 

# 1 To see them Play Good Ball

 

# 2 To see them win and progress as a form of pleasure

 

If these two things dont happen then whats the use of watching them play, just becuase you cease to follow the marlins when their down doesnt mean your a fair weather fan, its just your way of showing them your dis-pleased and who wants to watch a team thats always losing, what so we can watch the mermaids?

 

 

I kinda agree with you. Watching any form of sport is an investment, if not time, then money. Next week, I'm going to a couple of games, but in order for me to do this, it involves me first driving 5-6 hours back down to Miami and then going and wasting money. I'm less inclined to do this if I pretty much KNOW that my team is not going to win, and lately it feels this way.

I would not disown them but I am taking to using the word Marlins as a substitute for various words that refer to nasty and bad things.

 

"I shouldn't have had those chili dogs, not I have to take a huge Marlins", stuff like that.

I'm not disowning them, but I am lucky enough to simply have better things to do this summer than face the choice of watching baseball. I'm going on a two and a half week honeymoon trip coming up and when I get back I will be both job hunting and spending my time recording music. If the Marlins happen to be on when I'm free, I'll probably turn it on, but these aren't the days when I'm arranging my schedule to see this team.

Well that's a very Marlins thing to do.

I think I'm going to adopt your word usage if they get any worse.

Considered it yet?

If you do than you are not a true fan. No matter how horrible this team is I always look forward to the next game.

 

 

Me too babygirl. You have to always root for the WIN. Yay team, we will win tomorrow. All this negativo will stop then.

I'm not disowning them, but I sure as hell ain't staying up till 3am to watch the recent garbage

Can't we make an exception to the "true fan" rule given the current situation.

Completely ignoring the Fish is pretty much impossible at this point in my life. I've invested far too much time in the team, through good times and bad, to not watch the games or, at the very least, check out the box score of even the most embarrassing losses.

I've still watched every game (and went to f***ing Tampa to watch them lose!).

 

There should be no question of anybody's fanhood here. This is a disown-able/brown-bag-able team.
