Mine is. Go Marlins (well sort of). If Jeter gives away the whole team, I'm out.

they can dismantle a WS winning team win again. Twice. That was always amazing to me.

The Marlins sold 15k tickets per game with the MVP hitting home runs almost every other day...

The previous owner poisoned the water in that market, so I can't be mad about the fans lack of interest... but Giancarlo would look great in a birds on the bat jersey

So, Mr Stanton...

Come to the Lou and play in front of 43k on a Wednesday night or 40k on a businessman's special Thursday afternoon.

Contend every year.

Bank that cash and be the hero to a rabid fan base that cares about baseball, come to the Lou

Snow will probably show up soon.

I wish spring training was starting soon. That would mean this nightmare called "fall and winter in the PNW/Lower mainland of BC" would be ending.
