I wonder if they even bother checking tickets at that park.

who really sits in their correct seat at that game man, thats horrible
This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains.

I love how the announced attendance was 11,000. I wonder if they really sold that many tickets or if they are just inflating the number to make themselves look
better.

Come on...do they really think even a new stadium is going to solve their problems? Get them out of Florida already.

I'm not surprised, look how one of their own players treat their fans:
Florida is above .500 too, they aren't even a losing team. I think a new stadium in a new location will help, but though it isn't the only factor in the low attendance, I think the "Florida model" of management has been proven to be incredibly hard on the fan base even when executed well enough to net multiple rings. EDIT: And instead of an A-ball affiliate in Fox Cities Stadium, let's move the Marlins there! |

There's just too many major league teams. Lets see some shrinkage!

Baseball can't survive in Florida for some reason, there's just no intrest. Look at the Rays, they're in 1st place and they are only averaging just
above 21,000 people a game. The Marlins are just under 16,700. That's sad.

I think a lot of the Marlins' problem is that they're forced to play at Dolphins Stadium, which is like 45 minutes away from where most people in Miami
live. The people of Miami don't mind making that trek 8 times a year for Dolphins home games, but you'd have to be nuts to go there for 81 Marlins
games when most nights it's hot, muggy, and a good chance the game's going to get rained out. The good news for them is that it looks like the plans to
build a stadium on top of the old Orange Bowl in Coral Gables is going to go through, so we'll finally be able to see how much of their problem is travel
time to the stadium and how much of it is due to a tiny fanbase.

your Mom, Pence!' and then proceeded to throw his head back and laugh and pat his belly as he rounded the bases." -- SeriesFinale, 9/5/07
"I pounded the zone, but I pounded the middle of it." -- Manny Parra after a rough start in LA |

Zimmerman hits a homer to tie it in Washington. Go Nationals!

And the Astros continue to make their "Rockies" run.
