The Yankees actually outscored the Marlins 21-17 in the series. But when it counted, they didn't produce. They never recovered physicaly and emotionally from the REAL World Series, the ALCS. They left their bats in Boston and a total of 91 men on base. The fish were supposed to be dessert, instead they were janitors, mopping up what was left of the Yanks.
I am truly pissed about one thing. Had the Yankees won the series in Miami they would have treated Pro Player stadium with a bit more respect though, even though a 10 year old FOOTBALL stadium is definitely not Yankee Stadium. Jeffrey Loria, the man who destroyed baseball in Montreal, running the bases? Marlins ripping up pieces of the infield grass? Beckett chugging a 40 at home plate? Pierre and Pudge taking pictures with the monuments like they were pictures of Saddam in Baghdad? That's what hurts the most, not so much the series loss. For that, the Marlins will deserve what's coming to them, which is a last place division finish next year. Well, they might finish ahead of the Mets. But not by much.

That sounds like the words of a disgruntled fan whose team has been waiting for a chance to win the world series...
Thats stupid, How can you bash the Marlins for CELEBRATING! who cares if the are picking away the infield for memories, or running around the bases, or drinking anything on home plate...Who gives a shit, THEY DESERVE IT! it wasnt tasteless, it was a YOUNG team celebrating for winning something that most players will never get an opportunity to.
Shit man, its not like they were pissing on the field, or flicking off the fans... they were celebrating, i dont see what the hell is the big deal.... And they deserve whats coming to them? do you really think loria is gonna sell off the team or something? I know he wont, Huizenga told south florida he was going to, well before the marlins were even in the playoffs in 97. Loria will keep most of this team together and, dont worry, they will be competing again next year....
all i gotta say is
the marlins have been around for 11 years and have won 2 championships.... let them bask in the glory... they deserve it
