This got me thinking of something I heard once... Doesn't the visiting team get a portion of the attendance profits when they play at an opposing ballpark? Anyone else ever heard that?

 

Do you mean revenue-sharing money? 

 

 

We never deserve them.  I maintain that our lineup has the highest ceiling of any team, yet we are the worst team in baseball...again.  It's exhausting.

 

yup, which leads to what i always talk about. im a firm believer in baseball gods. and something triggered this bad luck.

 

 

Do you mean revenue-sharing money? 

 

Revenue sharing makes some franchises significant payers and others recipients. For example, in 2005, the Yankees reportedly paid out about $76 million. Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, Florida Marlins and Kansas City Royals each received $30 million or more, according to the Wall Street Journal.

 

Under the first version of revenue-sharing (from 2002 through 2006), some low-revenue teams seemed to be gaming the system. While revenue-sharing money is supposed to be used to improve on-field performance, some teams appeared to be using the shared revenue to enhance profits while failing to invest in higher payrolls. Last year Forbes reported that from 2002 to 2006, the Royals’ revenue-sharing dollars doubled to $32 million, while their player costs increased only 6 percent. Likewise, in 2006 and 2007, the Florida Marlins reportedly received more than $60 million in revenue sharing, according to The Hardball Times, but the team had opening day payrolls totaling $45.5 million.

ever since gordon got that chain that could have been used to get another reliever, i dont think he's gotten a hit.

 

 

YEAH

No I think that's different. Long story short, I believe the Marlins earn a percentage of the gate for this weekend in San Francisco and will do the same in LA next. And on our next homestand the Dbacks Phillies and Brewers will get a percentage of Marlins Parks gate.

 

 

this ozuna pisses me off. he is so inconsistent. good hit but damn, he irritates me. he'll probably look like an ass in his next at bat.

 

 

Ozuna really shows some sparks. Which he could get some consistency. 

 

 

Best #2 hitter ever!  LOL

 

 

Damn Peavy

 

 

It also affects every other team I have ever supported, so maybe I am the problem.

 

Dolphins are just as awful lol!!! We are suffering Arpen!

yes, sorry. I happen to think the exact same about the dolphins. and their schedule is not pretty this year, judging by the first 2 games.

 

 

The dolphins are problematic for different reasons because Ross spends money but they spend it incorrectly.

Loria also gave Hanley Ramirez one.  They gave a replica of it out to fans as I got one.  Don't know where it is now, but it was so ostentatious and UGLY.  If I had a the real one, I would have scrapped it after diamonds taken out, of course.

 

 

dolphins at seattle, then new England is like the marlins opening at Pittsburgh, then Milwaukee.

 

 

He was invited to the game by some hardcore Marlins Man fans. 

If a Marlins Man Fan dresses like Marlins Man does he become a Marlins Man Marlins Man Fan or is he a Marlins Fan Marlins Man? Or if Marlins Man himself dresses like a Marlins Man Fan does he automatically become Marlins Man Fan Marlins Man?

Revenue sharing is only $ talked about being split.  AND the Marlins are mentioned here as the lowest revenue generator.

 

 

I can see narveson coming in the 5th.
