Watcha talkin bout Willis? Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Oh how I wish Lowell would be the owner of this team. If only he had more money. Actually I don't know if I want Lowell more as the owner of the team or as the mayor of Miami-Dade.....Tough decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBob27 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I haven't forgotten, and its one of his flaws, but it still wouldn't stop me from hiring him. Because he helped us get a ball park you would hire him as a Prez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersgoon Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Passan just tweeted out Samson may be fired along with beinfest and Hill. Also, Dan Jennings has been given the green light to hire the people he wants to surround himself with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 “When trading away our shortstop at the time we wanted to get one back,� Hill said. “Hechavarria has been everything as advertised.� It's comments like these from the FO that are really quite worrisome.

Do they even look his stats up? And they can't even use intangibles like grit and heart with him cause he's Spanish. Those are reserved for crappy short white guys. Still trying to figure out what they see in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97marlin Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey, on a different note, could we purchase the team? Like issue bonds against the value of this and any other forum, or valuables we have give high interest on them, or make them convertible and end up with Miami Marlins stock? Could we force loria out, maybe even selling some of these bonds to the city? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFishFan Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Jeb Bush put up a lot more cash than we could even imagine, but Loria refused to sell. And why would he sell? He gets enough MLB welfare to turn a large profit even with a paltry gate and sparse crowds. And hardcore fans, including some on these boards, continue to line his pockets by buying tickets, further justifying his logical (for the short term) decision to field the cheapest team that Selig and the MLBPA will allow him to field. If enough people stop going to the games, Loria might realize that he can't continue with his parsimonious ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 What are the odds Jennings believes in advanced statistics? He sounds more backwards than Beinfest/Hill from what I can gather. He's Loria's ally in the FO if that tells you anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureGM Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 It's crazy to me that Loria would fire Samson...clearly their relationship has gone downhill for some reason. Not sure why though. But seriously Loria needs to either fire Beinfest or let him go get another job, as it's pretty obvious he's done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The first sign of things going badly between them was when Loria forced Samson to stop making radio appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 No one on this forum will be approved to own an mlb team. Even if miracles happen, and we find the money, we wouldn't be approved. I actually think this entire message boards as a whole is enough to warrant us getting a team of our own. I'm serious too.
