Jeffrey;
1-The premise that because we, the fans didn't sell out the cow pasture that meets prison walls aka as your work of art is an insult to everyone that sat in the sauna known as Sun Life Stadium. After just one season?
2-If you really cared about public opinion in 2003, then you would have signed Pudge and kept D. Lee for the 2004 season and really tried to repeat.
3-You build your team around Hanley, a known malcontent who wished more managers into the cornfield than that kid did on the Twilight Zone.
4-Nice that you brag about Selig "approving the trade". How many times did you speak to "Trader Jack" to convince yourself that this is the best move to make?
5-Professional organizations don't have to trade off their top level to restock the talent supply line. For you, it was like trading stock options, you pay for one season of a players talent then cash them in for a new portfolio. Only, now people won't trade with you, like you were going to lead top level players down the garden path twice. so, who cares?
6- Let's see what the S.E.C. has to say about the park financing.
7-You may try to hang on for another couple of seasons, but sooner than later, you will have to sell.
Jeffrey Loria's "Letter to our Fans"
VIERA -- Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria took out a full-page ad in all three major South Florida daily newspapers on Sunday in which he explained not only the team's decision-making, but appealed to fans to stay the course with the franchise. Loria also plans to speak with the media on Monda...
First of all I just love that Reyes jersey still stuck on the Marlins banner on this page. This is a total mess. Stanton wants out, it's no secret unless you run the Marlins, then everything is a secret. The Marlins are the only team to hire it's staff from the KGB. You know that LoMo can't stand Loria and Samson. Who's left? Batting 3rd Solano and 4th Ruggiano. I need an aspirin.
Source: Yunel Escobar may be "on the move"; Ricky Nolasco wants out
NASHVILLE -- While the Marlins have spoken to Yunel Escobar about switching positions, it now appears almost certain that he'll be switching teams, instead. A source said Monday that Escobar, whom the Marlins obtained in their 12-player blockbuster with Toronto, could be "on the move" ...
Does Pierre get a no trade clause?
Marlins go back to the past, sign Juan Pierre
Juan Pierre is back. The Marlins have agreed to terms with Pierre, a key catalyst on their 2003 World Series team, on a 1-year deal worth $1.6 million. Pierre, 35, had a bit of a resurgence last season with the Phillies when he hit .307 and stole 37 bases in 130 games. He ranks firs...
Thank goodness Juan Pierre is back, now we don't have to worry about "Wrong Way" Joe Espada holding up runners trying to score against Pierre's weak throwing arm. Cue Tommy Hutton. "The whole league knows that Juan Pierre can't throw anybody out...."
Now we just have to worry that all the other 3rd base coaches get magnesia (milk of) and hold up the runners, not to worry, ain't gonna happen.

Loria builds a park that is virtually last in all of baseball in homers. A cow pasture with prison walls. A work of "art". Loria, if you don't lower the fences to 8 feet and bring in the dimensions by at least 20 feet from left center to right center, then...you really do know nothing about this game.
Loria says his expectations for 2013 are high in final episode of The Franchise
Showtime aired its final episode of The Franchise Wednesday night and wrapped up a season of disappointment for the Marlins by giving us the voices of the players still around as well as a frustrated front office, which promised that there's not only enough talent still around to win next year, ...
It never fails to amaze me how reporters always ask the same questions over and over. don't you listen to the last question before talking?
Hanley takes ground balls at 3B, discusses move (w/videos)
JUPITER -- Welcome from Roger Dean Stadium, where Marlins pitchers and catchers are reporting and we just finished watching Hanley Ramirez take ground balls at third base on one of the back fields. He didn't make any diving stops behind the bag or long throws to first. On the other hand, th...
I'm a big fan of Logan Morrison, as all bloggers know, Jeffrey Loria knows when I brought my paper megaphone to the 2nd to last game of the season giving him my "don't trade LoMo chant". I liked him from the times I saw him interviewed when he was first called up. He always had his hat on, and a little askew, not much about 1/8 turn to the left. I imagine he's like the later day Luis Tiant who used to shower with a cigar in his mouth, LoMo is such a gamer that he probably showered with his Marlins cap on during his rookie season.
Last year I decided to get back on twitter to follow LoMo after his trip to the troops. LoMo had about 13,000 followers then. LoMo sent out a tweet to guess what his cell phone bill was after that trip. I guessed $683 and the amount was $724. I was honored with a retweet and invoice to pay his bill. (Life is tough on the MLB minimum).
Whoaa, a lefty comedian, right up my alley. He didn't know he made friends with the three stooges of Marlins fans. (3 for the price of 1).
I decided to take a trip to Roger Dean to see LoMo. It was the 1st Braves trip ( without Uggla ). I got to row 1 off third, even got an easy as you please foul ball that rolled right up to me. As I reached over to pick it up, I still thought I was going to get steam rolled by somebody for the ball, even though there was nobody within 3 rows of me. Bam, well that sure makes up for the one I dropped when I was 10 at Yankeed Stadium, sort of.
I kid you not, there were 3 or 4 groups of people that came from great distances just to say hello to LoMo. He said hello to them all, passed by me on his way to the dugout. Not wanting to be a dork, too much I yelled "Logan, I'm here to pay your cell phone bill" He stopped and smiled. Just then, another one of Lomos friends called to him, so LoMo comes right over to where I was sitting, I didn't know what to do, i just yelled over to him, now he's heading towards me. I got all timid, and half got up, I wanted to shake his hand, since I didn't think of the sharpie for an autograph fast enough.
As I put my hand up, LoMo leaned up and over me to say hello to the people behind me. I quickly pulled my hand down because what I was about to shake, you don't want to know. All I kept thinking of was being arrested as a Bartman like pervert at a spring training game. "Miamiandy24 arrested in Jupiter for attempting to grope Logan Morrison".
so, thanks LoMo for the retweet, the foul ball, showering with your cap on askew and most of all for not leaning further into the stands than you did.
Carl Barger's No. 5 is "unretired" for Logan Morrison
No member of the Florida Marlins has ever worn No. 5. That number was retired by the organization following the death of Carl Barger, the franchise's first president. The Marlins chose to retire "5" because it was worn by Barger's favorite player, Joe DiMaggio. But the Miami Marlins a...
I, Hanley Ramirez, do promise all Miami Marlins fans that I will:
Play up to my potential
Not worry about any statistical numbers except for wins.
Play hard and play hurt.

Reyes signing questioned by former Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez
Former Marlins manager Edwin Rodriguez questioned the Jose Reyes signing in a satellite radio interview on Wednesday and believes the team is going to have a "tough time" convincing Hanley Ramirez to move to third. Rodriguez, who stepped down as Marlins manager last summer, made his ...
CARLOS ZAMBRANO !!
We need this guy on our team. Larry, get Z and Dempster, you're front line pitching will be set for 2012.
Look at Z's stats, this guy is a winner on the field with his arm and in the clubhouse with his fists. Z is 31 yrs old, 125-80 record and 1,581 strikeouts and 3-0 in the clubhouse (hello Hanley). Ozzie wants him, Z wants Ozzie ( see the hearts floating?) Z is 6'5" and 300 pounds. Our own CC Sabathia.
Dempster may not cost as much as Garza. I think he's one of the top 10 pitchers in the league.
Gio to Nats -- now what for Marlins?
Another starting pitcher slipped through the Fish net today when the Nationals landed Gio Gonzalez in a trade with the A's. Washington paid a handsome price for the All-Star lefty, handing over three top prospects to Oakland. So where does that leave the Marlins, who continue sniffing arou...
GREAT, just the first move, now sign Reyes and Buerhle, trade Hanley and with Heath here, there goes the facial hair policy.
Marlins agree with closer Heath Bell to 3-year, $27 million deal according to reports
The Marlins appear to have a new closer. According to multiple sources, the Marlins and All-Star Heath Bell agreed on a three-year deal Thursday night estimated at $9 million per, all pending a physical Friday here in South Florida. ESPN first reported the story. With the future of incumbent cl...
Ozzie is a blast, he's Casey Stengal in 2 languages. He double talks with the best of them.
Loria knows to let Ozzie do his thing.
Ozzie is a lefty trapped in a righty's body.
Ozzie Guillen on Loria, Hanley, "DH" and Himself
Baseball analyst Tim Kurkjian sat down with Ozzie Guillen for an interview that will appear in the Dec. 12 issue of ESPN The Magazine, and the new manager for the Miami Marlins was his usual, candid self. Here are a few of the highlights from that interview, which Kurkjian has posted online...
wow, 3 times getting picked off with the hidden ball trick. What was the secret, getting Ozzie into a conversation? I'll bet Ozzie dosen't yell "Keep your eye on the ball" too much from the dugout.
