I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

The only issue I have with the Marlins isn't with the team, but with the owners. They seem to win a World series then dump most of the team for cheap rookie labor and start over again. Why not try to become a franchise that actually does good each year? It just makes me said that they don't care about fans enough to make the team good all the time only every six years.

You mean like the Cubs? World Champs 1908?

97 Marlins were owned by H. Wayne Huizenga, who sold the team a few months after. The fact that the Marlins play in the Miami Dolphins (NFL) stadium and the money from parking and food do not go to the Marlins but the owner of the Dolphins. Once the new Stadium is built they should be getting a lot more revenue from merchandise, etc.

Based on your current location, Jacca (Tennessee) it looks like you ran out of NY. Can't say as I blame you.
BITE ME!! Now you sound like my family!! They still all live in the city! Unlike my oldest sisters opinion: I DID NOT RUN AWAY FROM HOME!!!

Here's the funny part. Even though I'm a Native New Yorker, I'm a life long Boston fan!! I'm just a much bigger Brave's fan. Also: Odd fact, I live in Chattanooga Tn. and they're a bunch of Yankee fans ! Go figure. Actually, a very close friend who grew up here told me when he was a kid the Yankee games where the only ones they could get. That was until Ted Tuner and the braves.

Len, do Met fans still Boo at just the mention of Chipper?

I actually think Mets fans are more concerned with booing the Phillies. Over the past few years, I think the Mets-Braves rivalry has decreased a bit (but again I am not a Mets fan).

Jaca, is being a Boston fan and leaving New York a coincidence?

I would say no. I'm not sure what the rest of my (Yankee Fan) family would say?

For those that are fans of the Angels, they recently lost their rookie player Nick Adenhart in a car accident last night in a hit and run. He wasn't at fault since he was a passenger. Here's some more information on it:

It's such a shame to hear that his career had ended just as it started.

Drunk, red light running (drunk or not, it is stupid!!!!), hit and run, suspended license because of earlier DUI... nothing more to say...

What a shame.. to be killed by a drunk driver. I had a family member die that way.

It never ceases to make me mad.

Very surprising start for them. I really didn't expect that, but they did get 6 of those wins off of the Nationals. Now, what is going on with my Mets, they just can't get it together. 6-6 is not a good way to start out the season. However, at least they are not giving up 22 runs in a game!

14 runs in an inning? What's up with that? I LOVE to see the Yankees lose! Go Boston!!
