Miami Marlins rumored logo

[Guest]

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.

 

I'd probably say the same thing if I didn't live by a beach. However, I've been to Petco Park more often than I have been to the beach in recent memory, and the beach is there year round.

 

Don't live by a beach= wish you lived by a beach so you can go there all the time.

Live by a beach= don't go to the beach because it will still be there tomorrow.

The home run monstrosity finally got to be used in a game.

 

Just as everyone expected, it was Omar Infante that hit the first Marlin HR in the new park.

Is that the consensus that it's playing like a pitchers park? Or just to LF?

I heard someone predicting that they'll end up moving in the fences within two seasons.

You'd think they'd have learned something from Citi Field.

well that's certainly worth $2.5 million taxpayer dollars.

I just realized how ridiculous this will be 5 years from now when they are still setting it off for every HR.

I heard Loria will demand the city build him a new park with closer fences or he's taking the team to Oklahoma City.

[Sammy Sofa]

I heard Loria is marrying your mom.

I like how the center fielder is staring at it.

We're broke because we bought the Sonics.

I like that it's euphemistically called a sculpture.

All right, so, there's nothing worse and more useless than attendance stories in April. Still: here's one anyway. The Marlins, despite that fancy new ballpark, haven't even been close to filling the place.

 

The Marlins Park sellout streak ended at one game. This past weekend's series with the Astros saw an average attendance of 32,020, nearly 5,000 shy of a full house. (It's a very small ballpark.) Those numbers must have been for paid attendance, because by all accounts, the number of ass-filled seats was much lower. But that's the Astros; no one cares about the Astros. Surely the Cubs would draw? Last night's game, which saw the return of Ozzie Guillen to an "indifferent reception", drew shy of 25,000. Again, that's paid attendance, and seems generous when looking at huge swaths of empty seats.

 

Don't panic. It's the parking. It's the rain. Lots of new ballparks have drop-offs after opening day. Attendance is still up from last year. The home run sculpture isn't any cooler the second time around. Miami is a tropical paradise with a thriving nightlife and a small local base and it'll never support a baseball team no matter how much it wins or how many gewgaws the stadium has to offer.

 

It's one of those, anyway.

Well, it's been about a month so we were overdue for Ozzie opening his mouth again.

 

On D. Wade:

 

A day after having vowed to be done with Twitter, the outspoken manager of the Miami Marlins wasn't backing off his shoot-from-the-hip style of expression, saying Wade's behavior toward Heat coach Erik Spoelstra during a Thursday loss "can guarantee a fight."

 

"I will kick his ass," Guillen told reporters Friday. "Well, I won't say I'll kick his ass. They'll kick my ass because they're bigger than me, and I'm older. But I will take my chances. Some people have to understand our job."

 

"That's disrespectful. Why he's saying it, when he said it, that's none of my business," Guillen said. "But the player come out and say something (like that to me), he will guarantee a fight."

 

On taking players out of the game:

 

"You know how many players I take out of the game and they go in the back and talk crap about me?" Guillen said.

 

"I don't care because I'm going to talk crap about them. If I take you out of the game it's for a reason. You think I want to take you out of the game? You think I want to pinch-hit for you? I pinch-hit for you because you suck. There's somebody else I thought was better than you."

I love Ozzie.

[CincyCubsFan]

Ozzie is gold.

[javy knows my name]

All that stuff I said about liking crazy people in sports in another thread?

 

That does not apply to Ozzie.
