The pain of being a Marlins fan

[Doctor_K]

I'm saying this as a Marlins fan....

The Jays got absolutely hosed in this deal.  Reyes is on the tail end of a career and Buerle was, eh.

I don't like seeing JJ go, but even with these guys on the team, we still finished in last place NLE.

Then again.....  we're talking about the same Jays that PAID Alex Rios, then promptly traded him...

Reyes/Ramirez/Bonifacio were awesome to watch.  They just had FUN.  Not dissimilar to watching Amezaga/Ramirez/Cabrera back in the day.

I'm still hung up on the Sanchez and Infante trades.  Those really gutted the infield.  Not to mention Uggla/Cantu before them.

But yea - Buehrle was ehh, Bell was ehh, and Reyes ended up being the only guy worth mentioning there for a while.  When Hanley was traded, Jose just didn't care as much.

It'll be interesting to see how they shape up next year, with yet another bunch of rookies and unknowns. 

They really DO want to be the Indians!

^ now if we could just get you to give up on the Dolphins too

I haven't given up on either.  It just doesn't hurt when things happen like this because I've grown to expect mediocrity.  Luckily, I have the Heat to overcome what has become of the Marlins, Dolphins, Hurricanes, and Panthers.

WTF!!  Another fire sale.  Talk about jerking the fans around. That will surely help ticket sales at the new tax payer financed ball park....

Cmon Lake... didnt you guys win the World series a few times recently?  Stop yer cryin... at least your not a Blue jays fan... or Cubs, or Brewers. or Pirates, orioles... etc.  The good news is a bunch of Suns players can probably move up now...lol

Being a Jays fan, isn't nearly as bad as some of the others have it.  Yeah, they usually are cellar dwellers but when you are 14 yrs old and get to watch Joe Carter hit a walk off to win the World Series that kinda stuff lasts a lifetime.   I'm sure there are a lot of Cubs fans who would like to have that kind of memory....

As for this trade, it gives them some hope for next year.   If it works out Anthropolis and Beeston will look like geniuses, otherwise it will be the same old story.  The AL East is never a cakewalk no matter who is on your roster.

Don't I know it! I'm a lifetime Baltimore Orioles fan and I guess you can imagine what a relief this season was. The AL East is just brutal sometimes. That said, the O's have done little to help themselves over the past 15 years.

Lol, your comment made me think of something I saw a while back....           



Maybe his pic in 2013 will look more like the 2010.
