but, since they did, with Miami paying for the stadium--then changing the name isnt a bad idea. its the least it can happen.

anyways, were getting off topic here....

Just like I won't lose any sleep over someone pointing out the cultural differences between North Florida vs South Florida. You brought up the whole Florida Marlins vs Miami Marlins, I responded, and you responded to that. That's how it works, man. There's no need to question the importance of it to someone. We're just talkin'.

the cultural differences were the least of my worries. you kept going at it, so i also responded. again, the naming rights issue was more because the city of miami is ponying up the cash, not because of cultural differences.

The whole North Florida vs South Florida thing was also from where I remembered you bringing it up in another thread as well. I believe it was in the vacationing in the south thread in the OT board. It just looked like you had some aversion at everything outside of South Florida in Florida. It reminded me of a guy I knew back when I lived in South Florida. He had some sort of superiority complex about Miami, everywhere else was inferior according to him. But it looks like you don't. So I can drop it.

Yeah, their starting pitching and defense is way too shaky for them to be considered contenders for the NL east title. That and their good record in 1 run games will catch up to them in the long run.

Back to baseball, it's not just the Marlins that are shocking the baseball world. The Rays are also on top of the A.L. East as of today. That's right, the same division with the Yankees and Red Sox. Go Team Florida.

i understand. we have ***-holes like that all over the world. though sometimes i do bring up the cultural differences...its usually in jest.

as for my "new" home team...if everything works as planned for them, then i'll eat a big fat crow for thanksgiving.

I don't know where you get your info from but I'd say that the Marlins are just as popular as the Heat. No one went to the Heat games when they sucked. It's normal for attendence to be down when a team sucks.

**IbizaXL** · 05-22-2008, 07:59 PM

i said to my self "no way in hell this team sweeps Arizona". if they did, then i'll change my avy to some Marlins player.

so guess what? the sweep happened. i have to show respect where its due. this freakin team makes less than A-rod makes in a second. the Marlins pitching combined make less then certain individual pitchers. its team with alot of unknowns brought up from the farm system. yet theyre competing theyre *** off and on top of the division. while theyre at it, they sweep the best team in the NL and the best picther in the NL as a bonus.

i just dont get it. despite my rants about the Marlins...it doesnt mean i cant respect them for what theyre doing right now. wtf

PS. no im not a new "fan".

**Flash is the Future** · 05-22-2008, 08:13 PM

Wow. We're now 27-19. And I must say, I miss your old avy Gio!

**Wade2Matrix** · 05-22-2008, 08:14 PM

Nice avi, but I agree with Flash, I miss the old one

I think I jinxed Hanley cause he's been on a slump since I put him in my avi

This was a pretty shocking 3 game sweep, especially since they were coming off of losing 5 of 6 to the Royals and Reds and things werent looking so good. Yet they bounce back to sweep the best team in the NL, completely shut down that awesome offense, and beat their two best pitchers, one of which had won all his starts so far this season.

This team is amazing and once again, doing it with 3 of their top 4 starting pitchers having not pitched a single inning all season.

Two best records in baseball as of today- The Tampa Bay Rays (31-20) and the Florida Marlins (30-20)

**DQ for 3** · 05-27-2008, 03:22 AM

We'll find out what this team is made of over the next 3 series - against the best in our division (Mets/Phillies/Braves). Either we'll build on our lead, or we'll start our decent.

MLB is hilarious. you got teams spending 10x the amount the Marlins spend on players yet are in the bottom of the league.
