...THAT is why Miami will ALWAYS BE a 2nd rate sports town. They will ONLY favorably respond to the Dolphins. EVERY other city I have lived in, ALL professional teams got FULL backing from the cities fans ALL the time. NOT when they are just winning....
...this city can be SO frustrating.

During Sunday's DH, Tommy Hutton was complaining that the Marlins had yet to be on Fox Saturday baseball, or ESPN's Sunday Night game. Thanks to a rain delay in Atlanta, the Marlins and Rockies made it to Sunday Night Baseball in the 8th inning of game 2 as "Bonus Coverage" with Rich Waltz and Hutton describing the action.
But the Reds have not been very good in a very long time. While the Marlins have. Truth be told, very little of the national media speaks about the Marlins.
Thanks for reminding me. :rant::rant:
I am telling you, the Dusty Baker run has been a disaster and time to give a new up and comer from within a chance.
Ramy...keeping the "arm Killer" as manager has made the team WORSE! This team had some very promising talent...and it has been pissed away by this guy.
...did I mention just how worthless I think he is as a manager?! LOL!!:rant::rant:

I never said he was good. I just don't think a no name is the right answer right now either. Dave Miley was absolutely awful in the majors even though he was great in the minors.
Well....that's how it is sometimes. Like some guys are GREAT COLLEGE football players, the get to the NFL...and they are barely good enough to be considered a bad player.

He makes the Pirates manager look like Joe Torre.
Because MIami/Dade is a poor baseball market. MLB thought with all the Latinos(Mainly Cubans) in the parket, a Major League team would be a success. Quite the opposite.
The other reason is the Stadium.
Dolphin Stadium is a football facility poorly suited for baseball.
Time for MLB to show some common sense and find another city for the Marlins. Where that might be, I have no suggestions. But Miami( actually the team plays right on the Dade/ Broward line a stones throw from Calder Racetrack.
Charlote, NC is the same way. Many many newcomers who've relocated from other places have held on to their team allegiances....THAT is why Miami will ALWAYS BE a 2nd rate sports town. They will ONLY favorably respond to the Dolphins. EVERY other city I have lived in, ALL professional teams got FULL backing from the cities fans ALL the time. NOT when they are just winning....

Yes, the Panthers sell out most of their games. But that is because a Panthers game is a place to go and be seen. That's why the place is half empty by the end of the 3rd quarter. ANd that is win or lose.
NOBODY cares about the NBA team. The ECHL hockey team sometimes out draws the Bobcats..
For football this is Steelers and Redskins country. For hoops, it's UNC , NC State and in general the ACC. The NBA is a non factor here.
I'm beginning to suspect that you two are really married and go to seperate computers in seperate rooms just to argue.

we have been busted Sandra....!
On the contrary, Miami-Dade IS as great baseball market as any in the country, the problem is...there are too many NON Marlin fans and too many fans from OTHER markets living down here. Like I said, you are NOT gonna change the mind of a ton of Yankee, Mets, Cubs, Phillies, Red Sox and Braves fans that live down here.
