This team pissed me off so much.

They're on television every night. They sold off their whole fucking team and they still always win.

You see the shots of their outfield stands?

Rowand hit a homer today and it took those Fishfags 10 minutes to get themselves the souvenir

Nah, an Indians fan. Ever since they got their own network I couldn't watch any of their games, since I live in PA, so I got the NBA network package.

Too bad the Indians suck.

Considering that only 4 teams are allowed in the postseason for each league, the Marlins look like they're gonna kick butt this year.

I smell a third World title...and another epic Fire Sale....

Fuckshit, I *HATE* the Marlins...

Two World titles and nobody cared. Worst attendance in the League. *TWO* fucking fire sales. Empty stands in a football stadium.

Why do they still exist?

Go Cubs.

What's wrong a "shitty" team has won 2 World Series's while your team hasn't won 1 in 100 years?

Enjoy 101 years without a World Series.

A fire sale is when the players, usually after a championship, ask for way too much money for what they're worth, and if the team is suffering financially, the players are usually released/traded for cheaper players.

The post-World Series fire sales of 1997 and 2003 are the most often cited examples.

It's not that they ask for more than they're worth - the value of a 'championship' is extremely high. It's just that some team managements see things one of two ways.

1) They're often unwilling to take the risk that the team won't replicate their recent success, in which case the more expensive contracts could become unsustainable.

2) (And more common) The ownership knows it can turn a profit off the recent championship with or without the winning players, and sells them off for new assets (generally good young talent, but many years from being major league ready), believing that right around when the team loses most of its new fans from the previous championship's grace period, the young talent (still on the payroll on the cheap) will begin producing at a high level. This is what happened for the Fish after '97.

Yeah, but how can you go from winning the World Series to having the worst record in the season? What the shit? What were the owners thinking?

I predict another second-half skid like the Mets did last season....

Fuck, that was horrid.

But yeah, the Marlins win game after game, its not easy to watch the Fish do so well...

You think the Marlins are good now? Wait until they call Cameron Maybin up, or as I like to call him "Bubba".

Shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

I love going to Fish games at Dolphin Stadium...so loud, so energetic, and its fucking great baseball...not to mention there's always a washed up 80's hair metal band to play to the crowd post-game!

Go Fish!
