Default Marlins

Wtf is going on with them? Are they selling like crazy because they want to move? Planning for the future? Or just lowering their bottom line? either way, sucks to be a Marlins fan, once again.

They aren't getting a stadium any time soon, so without that revenue they had hoped for they need to cut payroll.

The only reason it would suck to be a Marlins fan is the lack of true peers. They are a very well run organization.

Isn't the thing with the marlins that they do well every couple of years and no one comes to the games afterwards to the managment can't keep the huge payroll?

Thats because no one goes to the games.

I dont know why the MLB, NFL and NBA are so stupid to keep giving Florida chances by putting new teams there. No one shows up for games. The Marlins once again have to sell everything because no one showed up to their games.

Also dont worry about Marlin fans they dont exist.

Bingo. The owners are saving some dollars so that they can light up the craps tables in Vegas in a couple years.

Hijack:

If the Marlins move to LV or Portland will MLB re-align the NL divisions? LV/Portland in the West. Pirates move East? Colorado moves to the Central?

I don't think either is more likely at this point.

The Marlins are coming to Las Vegas in 2010-2015. Well, I can hope.

This the same organization that did the housecleaning of players after they won the world series?
