New name, whole new look for the team. Its fun having a team actually willing to spend money. Here is to hoping we can sign Pujols. I am going down in May for the Mets series, looking forward to checking out the new stadium.

way to not even mention them landing Reyes

12/5/2011 12:30:18 PM

They spent some decent $ to win that first WS, and then promptly jettisoned everyone afterward

12/5/2011 12:32:10 PM

Thanks, Gammo

12/5/2011 12:32:45 PM

they've got some butt ass ugly new uniforms.

12/5/2011 1:43:32 PM

Not the biggest fan of the logo itself, but I like the jersey.

Meeting with Pujols again today, woo.

But a 10 year deal

12/6/2011 9:00:57 AM

All aboard the bandwagon.


MAN I'VE ALWAYS LOVED THE MARLINS. I STILL ROCK MY JEFF CONINE JERSEY.

12/6/2011 9:08:54 AM

Unsustainable spending. Team will be sold in 5 years.

12/6/2011 9:11:17 AM

Except I have always loved the Marlins.

^lol mets fans mad

I'm more than resigned to the Mets sucking until at least 2014. Not mad...

Any true Marlins fan (either one of them) should jizz at the thought

Loria is ruining baseball!

12/6/2011 9:17:56 AM

I've never been a fan of Loria (for obvious reasons), but I am excited about the new stadium and the fact that they are willing to spend money. Here's hoping people actually go to the games now that its in Miami.

The NL East is going to rape baseball next year if Pujols ends up with the Marlins. Well maybe not the Mets. The Mets will probably lose 110 games next year.

12/6/2011 11:05:37 AM

The whole management team is going to jail.

How do you get the money to build a new stadium and buy up all the rican players like these?

Cuban mafia imo.

12/6/2011 11:11:27 AM

^ the stadium was financed by taxpayers. also, there's going to be an embroidered patch on the marlins' helmets. amazing



[Edited on December 6, 2011 at 11:57 AM. Reason : patch]

12/6/2011 11:55:00 AM

so they're just copying the cubs...



also LOL at rainbow colored mutant fish

That's harsh. Look at all the good he's done the Expos.

12/6/2011 3:39:25 PM

that new marlins logo looks like some 1980s era shit

12/6/2011 4:00:46 PM

i thought it was awful at first. i'm warming up to it

12/6/2011 4:32:47 PM

The O's logo is awesome...I like the throwback. Not a fan of the Marlins new logo.

12/6/2011 4:36:04 PM

glad the o's went back to the cartoon bird, but i've always hated the hats with "O's" on it, so i wish they wouldn't have done that.

12/6/2011 5:30:05 PM

I like the new logo too, Ribs

It's very Miami

12/6/2011 6:03:11 PM

When traffic is bad I drive by the new stadium on the way home from work. I'm not a baseball fan but it's a pretty awesome looking stadium, minus the bad neighborhood

12/6/2011 7:40:31 PM

I like the logo

Gammons and Bowa are REALLY confident that Pujols signs with Marlins

12/6/2011 7:48:08 PM

i dont know if i like the logo or for whatever reason just like the concept of a team actually embroidering a logo on a batting helmet

12/6/2011 7:57:12 PM

Yeah Pujols is looking like a real possibility.

Legit question - I havent been to an mlb game in like 7 years, whats the best value for seats in an MLB park? Gonna be going for a saturday night game vs the Mets. Would be fun to be behind home plate to see the fish tank, but I am assuming those are super expensive.

12/6/2011 8:23:35 PM

Last year that would have been a funny question

12/6/2011 8:27:15 PM

I don't have any problem with their logo, I just wish they didn't have so many colors. You only get two, get rid of the yellow and it's fine.

12/6/2011 8:28:28 PM

I'm not gay I just like rainbows the new Marlins logo.

12/6/2011 8:31:44 PM

[Edited on December 6, 2011 at 8:52 PM. Reason : That jersey somehow reminds me of Vice City]

could it be because vice city is entirely based on miami?

12/6/2011 9:34:48 PM

that's why I said that you dolt

12/6/2011 9:45:56 PM

Quote :

"Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports that Hanley Ramirez does not want to play third base and wants to be traded if he can't play shortstop. The Marlins seem to be under the assumption that Ramirez will be a good soldier and move to the hot corner, but it might not be that simple. President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest has given no indication that he's planning to deal the shortstop, but it sounds like Hanley might force his way out. Stay tuned. "

wow, these miami-like characteristics of miami somehow remind me of vice city

12/7/2011 8:57:23 AM

^^ Shit I hope thats just speculation. Up until now I had seen nothing but Hanley being willing to play third base. Even with Pujols I will be pissed if this offseason results in us losing Hanley to gain Reyes.

12/7/2011 10:20:43 AM

I don't think Pujols will go if the Cardinals offer him comparable years.

12/7/2011 10:55:08 AM

If they somehow get Prince or Pujols, a lineup of Reyes-Morrison-Prince/Albert-Hanley-Stanton is top 3 in the league. I don't see it happening, but that's just one jerkoff's opinion.

12/7/2011 10:58:23 AM

trade hanley to the mets for david wright. put hanley at third in NY.

12/7/2011 10:59:50 AM

^^^ Cards offered 9 years, they won't offer the 10th. Florida is apparently looking like the leader currently as the deals are comparable, but he likes the taxes in Florida.

12/7/2011 11:18:55 AM

The Marlins apparently like the taxes in Florida too.

12/7/2011 11:19:42 AM

From someone with more than a rudimentary level of tax law, how much more does he make based on 200 mil in Florida than he would in Missouri?

12/7/2011 11:20:22 AM

wouldn't that just require looking up missouri income tax brackets and doing the math yourself?
