I don't understand how a suspension is weird. Firing him over that would have been incredibly stupid. You say something controversial that offends a large portion of your fan base, apologize, get suspended and then back to normal before the next issue distracts everybody.

 

I don't think this will just blow over.

 

 

Not that it'll make much of an impact, because people weren't going to go to the games anyway (only half kidding).

Signing Soler might help. I am wary.

Ozzie is distinguishing between stupid and dumb. "It was a stupid thing to say, but it wasn't dumb, because I'm not dumb. If we're sitting here again [in a few years] talking about the same thing again, then it will be dumb because I didn't learn from it. It was stupid but I'm not dumb." I'm glad I'm sitting through this.

Again, I don't think this will just be blowing over.

I wonder how Z feels about all this.

 

I'm sure if Ozzie steps out of line again Carlos won't hesitate to give him a black guy

 

 

8-) I see what you did there.

Oh supposedly a Florida Panthers playoff hockey game is the excuse people are going with.

 

Lololololol

 

Meanwhile, at the Panthers game, they're saying that the empty seats are due to the new Marlins park......

Posted
The 36,442-seat ballpark was only half full at game time, with entire rows in some sections empty, even near home plate. The Marlins sold about 15,000 season tickets and have said they expect sellout crowds almost nightly.

I, for one, am shocked by this revelation.

I love this, because they can't go sell off Reyes, Buehrle, or Bell. No one will take those contracts on. They'll be selling off Hanley and Johnson by midseason.

Plenty of good seats available for the Marlins 2nd game at their new park......uh oh

 

when will people learn that Miami is just a terrible sports city full of retired Yankee fans?

I thought Tampa was the Yankees fans and Miami was the Mets fans?

 

Anyways, I can't get enough of this:

 

There were wide swaths of empty seats at Marlins Park Friday night. Complete sections — 201, 202, 228, 327, and 307 among others — were barren. In all, at least 11 sections in this beautiful, sparkling new facility in Little Havana were more than 75 percent unoccupied.

Paid attendance was just over 30,000, and reports suggest that only about 20-25,000 actually showed up.

If i lived that close to the beach I probably wouldn't go watch baseball either. That franchise has a real problem, and it isn't Ozzie.
