MARLINS IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!
 

who wouldve thought it in may as the 19-29 florida marlins come back to win the wild card!!!

Things are GREAT down here in South Florida!

Go MARLINS!!! :crazy:

It's cool that the team is going to the playoffs and I'm happy for them but screw the South Florida fans and their fair weather attitude. They only came to the stadium to watch Dontrelle pitch or for bobble head night. They rank slightly higher than Expos fans.

I can't believe you just said that - took the words right out of my mouth. It's really sick to see all the empty seats during September - and even more sick to see the empty seats during the opening round of the playoffs. We'll see the empty seats in both Florida and Atlanta. I have never been to a postseason baseball game - my Indians had a nice run, but tickets were always beyond my reach.

I went to Ebay today and looked up tickets for the playoffs for the Cubs. A pair are going from between 500 and 1000 dollars.

You can go to floridamarlins.com and get playoff seats for nine dollars.
You can go to atlantabraves.com and get playoff seats for eight dollars.

What are people in Florida and Atlanta doing that they can't spend less then ten dollars a seat and be able to say they saw the best players in the league go at it in the 2003 playoffs? That's the kind of game where you save the program and ticket stub.

Anyhow, sorry for the rant, and congrats to the Marlins. I am glad to see some of baseball's younger stars getting a chance to be the focus of discussion. This should be good for the game.

im from florida and i love all the florida teams....i wish the fish the best of luck against barry and his boys. i hope we win at least 2.

Sigh, we had such high hopes here. I went to the 2nd game in the Sep PHL-FLA series (the only one we lost). There's always next year for the Phillies!

you have to remember how much more established the cubs franchise is, its been around forever. Also, wrigley field seats far less, so the demand is higher

Hell yeah Sam! Marlins rock man, i'm one of the sponsors (el dorado) and i must say this seriously kicks ass, about us not filling the stadium during the early part of the year, well, shit, what do you guys expect. They've been a pretty mediocre team for 5 years now. I started watching once McKeon was appointed manager, wow, that guy is awesome. He's 72 and makes pretty quick decisions which is badass, finally... someone that can take out a struggling pitcher after he throws 3 str8 balls, thats the kinda guy florida needed. One dumb thing though was pitching to Thome during the Phils-Fish series, thats pointless, i seriously hope we dont pitch to Bonds during this series.
