Mik 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Downhome, that is so ignorant. Totally not like you. Different owner, different situation. How could they revive baseball in the city when the owner didn't give a shit and the team quickly disbanded. That WON'T happen and some of the Marlins best prospects are still in the minors. Their affiliates won just about every minor league championship this year. Just wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I'm afraid that if the Sox win it, the Marlins will come from behind, win again, and we'll have two cities doped up on paxil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

River City Rocker 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Yep. I quit caring when Florida advanced. Season's over for me as far as I'm concerned. So I hope Fox is prepared for not-so stellar ratings, especially if the Yankees come back tomorrow. -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1997 marlins basically said FUCK YOU to the fans of the game. The 1994 strike did that just fine. There was no "innocence" left by 1997 to destroy.

It doesn't Matter...The Florida Marlin franchise effectively stabbed the integrity of the game into it's already fragile heart in 1997. The country has no affection for the franchise, they might have a fun bunch of guys but the country and a large part of the baseball fanbase refuse to see Florida waltz into another w.s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Yeah, I'm rooting for the Sox. Got to end SOME curse this year. Otherwise, we get Yankees/Marlins. And besides Yanks fans and Marlins fans, NOBODY wants to see that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no faith in baseball in Miami untill they can prove me wrong. If they keep this team together next year and actually are worth a damn, then I'll change my opinion. People said a lot in 1997, same things that have been said this year. It's time for the Marlins to shut up the critics, and that's that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Happy Medium 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 <----I've been waiting 17 years for the Sox to win the Series, since I was born. My grandfather who passed away eariler this summer at the age of 76 never saw the Sox win. Come on Boston. My dad passed away two months ago. Of course, he never saw the Cubs or Sox win anything, grew up near Wrigley and everything. I actually thought that this year was different. I know the feeling of hoping they can win it for a deceased family member. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just imagine if the Sox DO win... Clemens' last game will be against the team he came of age with... sending him off to retirement, defeated by the man picked to replace him... as that dude from the other evil empire says "The pupil has now become the master..."

The 1997 marlins basically said FUCK YOU to the fans of the game. No No No No NO. The Marlins didn't say that. WAYNE HUIZENGA, the owner of the Marlins, said that by dismantling the team, which he did to punish the peasant fans for not voting to tax themselves to build a monument [new ballpark] for the feudal lord [team owner] so he said "Screw you guys" and sold off the team.
