Whats Worse for Baseball ?

That point is true, SKINZ, but I still don't see how that effects baseball like the question is posed. It effects the microcosm that is the Marlins, but not the league. The only people suffering are Marlins fans. Noone else in baseabll feels it, do they?

Oh, and is "TERRRRR ble" a Charles Barkley impression?

WHY YES IT IS!! Awesome call RED!!

Can ARod really be worth 28 million a year? Does he cure cancer?

Great discussion here. I agree with some that the Marlins owners are cheap. They are just looking for profit. But couldnt baseball do like they did with the expos and make them sell the team? I mean isnt not even trying bad for baseball? They are competitive for a liitle while but then they trade everyone away and go cheap again.

All this, and in regards to a 15 year old expansion team that has won 2 World Series title in the last 10 seasons.

I blame Wayne Huyzinga (spelling?).... He won his first WS with an older, somewhat highly paid, free agent laden team.  He allowed for the dismantling of that team, and brought down the team payroll with younger players raised on the farm. Won the 2nd WS with a lot of those younger players, and dismantled again, bringing the payroll down further.... 

They don't want to spend the money on FA's and said FA's don't want to play in an empty lake. Miami is not a good town for the sport of Baseball. It is too wet, the stadium is too big. It's a football stadium converted for baseball.  Also, it doesn't help when the average age of your potential fan base is 68 years.

 I agree with some that the Marlins owners are cheap.

....true....yes and no.......after the marlins won the series in 97.....they had their firesale....they practically gutted the team.......the next year they flat out sucked.....but wait....they started adding some nice players.....pudge....lowell....dontrelle....and lo and behold......they won the series in 03......so at least they'll get some good talent once in a while....
