--- My team, the Marlins(like I wrote) is playoff bound. Earlier this
month with this team playing great they were drawing 12,000 in good
weather. Either you're fan or you're not. Where have these tons of
fans been for the past 6 years? I read the other day that even the
Tigers, possibly the worst team in baseball history, are drawing
better. Until the last few weeks, the Marlins couldn't draw flies
unless Dontrelle was pitching, and even than it was nothing to brag
about. And I also stand by what else I said.
