Hit the Road Jack: Marlins are truly pathetic
Hey Detroit, the Marlins just traded you a whole lot for a whole lot, and you know what that means: they just might be chasing that 119 loss team of yours. Pitiful!
Absolutely pathetic. Remotely disappointed, and then back to the drawing board. That was my reaction when the Marlins made their latest and greatest throw all hope away move because money is more important then relevance or dignity. Congratulations Florida for trading away the last pieces of a team that won the World Series in 2003. Boy that feels like 111 years ago. Cubs fans are crying right now, wondering how they lost to a team that plays to lose the game. What does Herm Edwards always say? “You play to win the game!” Unless you’re Florida. Congratulations Florida for disgracing the few fans you have left. You thought pitching in front of 300 fans was bad? Maybe, no one will show up in protest of your mockery of a team. This situation has spiraled beyond on control. It’s gone way too far. No longer just a pathetic excuse for a franchise, the Marlins are now just asking people to push them out the door. The Marlins have nothing left. There payroll, is projected to be around 20 million dollars. They’re looking at profits of $30 million at the very least for fielding what will be an abysmal team. How is this allowed? How can Jeffrey Loria spit in the face of MLB and Bud Selig just takes a tissue and wipes it off his Armani suits. I not only feel that David Sampson and Loria have betrayed a market that has never really had a chance with it’s history of owners, I also feel that the Marlins do NOT care. They made the highest profit in Major League Baseball last year! The highest! Higher than the Yankees, higher then the Red Sox. Higher then anybody. But right now they can’t afford to sign great players to fair contracts. At least that’s their stance. As for my stance. Screw em! Boycott the team. Or collection of all star prospects who will be able to drink by 2012! But you know what’s the saddest thing about this whole thing? The Marlins win! They’re the only team in Major League Baseball history that has made the World Series in every playoff trip, and they’re the only team to win it all both times. And now, they’re the only one without a fan base. Rain, sun, shine, no one should be going to the ballpark to support this team. I mean trainwreck.
