Professional baseball in south Florida last chance...

[Rey]

Well...dismantling the team sure as hell was not gonna put people in seats either. Wayne the crap stain, NEVER gave the Marlins a fighting chance to defend the World Series in 1997 and neither did the current boob, Loria. Then John Henry had the negociating smoothness of a bull in a china shop and then had the BALLS to say, "I'll build MY OWN STADIUM.....I don't need the county or the state"....we're still waiting on THAT stadium..... I guess he is gonna build it in some Boston suburb.....LOL!

thanks for reminding me about this. that's the other problem here. they finally get a winning team just to dismantle it the following season. it's a joke. don't we have the lowest total team salary in baseball?

This is the sports society we live in now. We need the team to be good IMMEDIATELY....regardless of what has happened to personel, coaching and ownership....

...truth be told, what the Dolphins did made matters worse...now EVERY SINGLE sports franchise thinks they can pull a Dolphins/Braves.

This is how stupid the PA. officials are. A group decided that if they get the Casino in Pittsburgh, they will build the casino, arena and build up the area around the two. No tax payers money at all.

Well the stupid PA gambling board decided to give the license to another company, so the tax payers pay for the new arena, but unlike a stadium, the arena will be used for more than hockey. Granted the Penguins are paying a lot of money for the cost of the arena and for a new parking garage and a local company is fixing up the area.

But here is the kicker, the guy who got the license, ran out of money and had to stop construction. Didn't these idiots check his financial record? If they would of gave it to the other company, it would of been done, and tax payers wouldn't have to pay anything.

Well they got someone else to take over the casino.

...but damn I love baseball...and damn I am SOOOOO tired of hearing this is ONLY a "football town". The OTHER teams, the Marlins and the Heat, have given MORE championships to this city in the last 12 years than the Dolphins have in DECADES....and people ONLY wanna talk about the stinking Dolphins.....it bothers me to no end.... LOL!

That's fine. But if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it fall, did it really fall?

 

[1980ws]

I wonder if Florida is better off merging both the Marlins and Devil Rays into one?

Put them in Orlando!!! The Orlando Raylins!!

 

[cybok0]

Put them in Orlando!!! The Orlando Raylins!!

Wouldn't they be called the "Orlando Princesses"?

Yeah because if you take the same trail through the forest, and there is a tree in the middle of trail....guess what, the tree DID fall...whether you heard it or not makes no difference....a tree fell.....

Well they have to get the wood from somewhere to make the bats.

Canadian Maple, hopefully.....or is that syrup...?!LOL

 

[1980ws]

Well, we're close to Cape Canaveral - how 'bout "The Satellites"? "Spacemen"? Or to recognize our theme parks - "The Thanks for coming now leave your wallet Guys"?

Cubs to Win Series in 2015?!

I just thought of something very EERIE.....

Have any of your seen Back to the Future II?

In it, the film predicts that the Cubs would sweep "Miami", not Florida, in the 2015 World Series.

But now, news came out today that the Florida Marlins would become the Miami Marlins in 2011 when the team finally gets its own stadium. Creepy.

Still needed, the Marlins will need to move to the American League by then as well. Could happen. Bump Kansas City or the Twins to the West (the Timberwolves play in the North West division in the NBA), move Toronto to the Central, and transplant Florida to the East. Done and done.

That sounds similar to what happened on the TV show "Lost in Space".

Remember that show from the 1970's?

Anyway, there was a scene where someone asked the robot who won the 2004 World Series (WHY they chose that random year, I don't know).

His Answer: The Boston Red Sox

They showed that scene on a local news broadcast, the day after the Sox won their first World Series in 86 years!!

Talk about spooky!
