This team must be trying to have as many fire sales as possible. While I will root for this team, my hopes will be lower than dirt for the team in terms of greatness...if they trade Stanton, Nolasco, and Cisesk.

 

 

I do think Justin Ruggz (aka Rugganio) is dealt at trade deadline for basically nothing.

 

 

I really have no faith at all with you know who in charge.

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

Seems like we will be in perpetual rebuilding.

THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

 

Every time a fan of a futile sports team references this, I have to wonder just what their nightmare scenario about their favorite sports team is.

well this is when I say something along the lines of statistically this or that, but honestly we don't look much better than the 2003 Tigers.

Well in 06 Sanchez/JJ/Willis/Olsen/Nolasco actually constituted a legitimate starting rotation.

 

Nolasco/Slowey/Leblanc/Sanabia/rookie Fernandez looks like it should be the starting rotation for the New Orleans Zephyrs, not the major league club.

 

Sanchez and Johnson weren't originally in the rotation on opening day, though.

I predict every post game thread will have "2006" in it.

 

You'd think they made the playoffs or something with the way people talk about 2006.

Or at least have a winning record.

All I have to say is Justin Dimaggiano needs to be the everyday starting CFer or I'm going to drive my car off a bridge with me inside of it.

Chisek and Ruggiano will be arb eligible in 2014.

 

Loria won't pay either one.

 

Chisek, especially, could bring back a nice prospect in a trade mid season. Another Wade LeBlanc like soft tossing lefty perhaps.

Or a guy who gets squib hit singles. We could always use more of them

And we have the worst record in baseball. Congrats guys!

Every time a fan of a futile sports team references this, I have to wonder just what their nightmare scenario about their favorite sports team is.Getting relocated, contracted, killed in a plane crash because of pilot error, stadium burning down, being told they are evicted, players drinking and driving with crashes/ deaths involved, killing people, and team wide rape allegations, being the Cubs.

 

I think I touched all the bases.

Will your girlfriend be in the trunk, Stan?

Will your girlfriend be in the trunk, Stan?I drank a 5th of Vodka, dare me to drive?

 

But seriously is there a petition I can sign to make Ruggiano the everyday CFer?

But David Samson said it was all about winning ! 69 wasn't enough ! :laughpurple

But David Samson said it was all about winning ! 69 wasn't enough ! :laughpurple

 

 

he basically guaranteed 70 or more wins.

When you 69, we always win.

That's not sexual at all.

Damn, I watched the uncorking about ten times now, I it got more and more sexually explicit every time I watched it.

 

Back on topic, it's amazing Ruggiano wasn't given the starting CF job from the get go. Spring Training statistics can go suck a big one.

I think his big thing was not competing or being healthy- not ability.

 

I think Coghlan earned a chance more than Ruggiano lost it.

 

Once Ruggz was able to prove his health and now worth I'm sure he'll be in CF more often with Coghlan spelling JP and Ruggz 3x a week.

 

If only he can play the IF adequately.

 

Could he be a decent 1B?

I think I touched all the bases.

 

You're talking about things not really related to team performance. In looking at this team's performance, this team's chances of improving it's performance in the not too distant future, and the front office's complete and total ineptitude, I'd honestly say that except for Fernandez, Stanton, and Yelich, the sky certainly has fallen. Plus, while they aren't relocating at the moment, Loria's ruining of all potential good will and popularity surge from the new stadium has pretty much ended baseball's chances in Miami.

 

Between Ricky Williams surprise retirement and the Dolphins instant transformation from perennial contender to perennial laughing stock, which they may only now after ten years have a chance of escaping, and what the Marlins organization has done in the last offseason, I'd experience the former over and over (and I'm more into football than baseball these days), and I'd say the latter will have done more damage when all is said and done.

 

Winning could cure all, but there's no reason to think that an organization that has made every wrong move since 2006 can achieve that.

I don't think Loria ruined baseball in Miami. We're here for 28 more seasons, I believe. I think there still is a chance to save baseball here and there's plenty of time to do it. He needs to go for that to happen, though.

 

I agree with the rest of what you said.

You asked what my nightmare scenario is for my favorite sports team, I gave examples.

 

Losing games is not a nightmare, losing games does not mean the world will cease to exist for us to rape and pillage as we please.

 

My nightmare scenario, is one of true nightmares.

 

I'm sorry the Marlins losing three games to even the Astros,( let alone the Nationals) does not make me want to go home to cut myself.

 

There are more important things in life than Major League Baseball in South Florida. Baseball is meant as an escape, not prisoner of war torture.
