...that's right, the East is the Beast.

One good copycat deserves another.

1. Marlins continue feasting on AL East
"The Marlins have won three of their past four series, all against American League East teams. They are 9-5 in interleague play after opening the day tied with the Cardinals, Dodgers and Giants for most wins against the AL."

3. Hey---Boston is the best in the league right now---no doubt...
I just find it kind of cool that the Marlins are last in the league in Salaries--- Boston is 4th--- but are only two games out of first.

Queue countdown for Douche and his attendance crap....Poor little guy---it's the only bullets he has...

4. It's always cool to see the low payroll teams do this.
Any kind of underdog is easy to root for. Even as a Sox fan I have to say I was pretty copacetic with the Rays beating us last year, and either of the teams in the WS could have won and it would have been cool to see.

5. The Marlins---albeit their lousy fan support---
have been one of the best baseball franchises in the last 13 years.... They win---get rid of their players---reload---- get rid of them again---reload... etc.... etc....

I think it's a great model especially when you have a great minor league system...

Hopefully the new Ball park in the heart of Miami will increase attendance... I think it will simply because there's a gazillion people surrounding the new stadium.

12. Oh yeah that's a terrific model
Make it impossible for fans to bond with players because it's going to be a revolving door of players going in and out. No connections being made between kids and their heroes. How can you be a fan of a team that disregards baseball's rich tradition of being a family sport. I guess I shouldn't be surprised you would applaud this. You should stick to handicapping horses.

14. You never address the issues I raise
Just make insults. Because you have nothing of substance to say. When I first started posting here I thought cboy was the jerk, but it turned out to be you.

6. Yea, that sure is cool
I bet Montreal fans were saying the same thing in the years leading up to 2004.


Hey, I have an idea! Lets cover most of the stadium with a blue tarp so we can hide a majority of the seats!!!

LOL!

8. You know, the Democrats constantly point out torture, and are in fact, also
constantly being accused by the torture lovers of being a one note wonder.

Point being, the Democrats are right doing so, no matter what the slime ball Republicans have to say and how often they complain.

Right is right.

Facts are facts.

Nothing wrong with spelling out the truth .. early and often. :bounce:

Dude, no matter what you respond with, you can never make me forget your post above. It's honestly in the top 3 most self centered and unintentionally hilarious posts of all time here. Seriously. I knew you'd try to post something clever (fail) and then add a lot of smilies to make it look like what you said was even remotely funny, but it ain't happening. It CAN'T happen!
