The Miami Marlins may have spent a lot of money this past offseason. They built a brand new [albeit ugly] ballpark that none of the players enjoy. They hired a new manager with World Series credentials to turn around a losing atmosphere. They signed a bunch of elite players to come in and help make the Marlins a contender. They even changed their logo and uniform entirely in hopes of ushering in a new winning way.
Simply put, it hasn’t worked.
But if the Marlins plan to fire first year manager Ozzie Guillen to shake things up, they would only further illustrate just how ignorant they are, especially in the front office.
Owner Jeffrey Loria is bad for baseball. Plain and simple. He is bad for the Marlins as well. Here is a guy who has no idea how to run a successful MLB franchise for many years. he puts all of his eggs in one basket and tries to buy a championship for one season. If it works, he has a fire sale the following offseason.
If it doesn’t work, he conducts a f...

The Marlins went into Friday 18 games under .500 but manager Ozzie Guillen didn't sound like a man worried about losing his job. "Can I say something about those (rumors)? Ha, ha, ha," Guillen said. "I laugh at that (expletive). I don't worry about what people say about that. I don't." Guillen said owner Jeffrey Loria has not spoken to him about...

The last-place Miami Marlins have been a huge disappointment this season. However, they did manage to bring some joy to those who encounter the above photo. What you see here is some typical September hazing around MLB as the Marlins veterans made the rookies dress us up as the U.S. Water Polo team. Perhaps they should meet the Washington Nationals rookies, or should I say the U...

The Miami Marlins rookies got some good old fashioned hazing recently as the veterans on the team forced them to wear US men’s water polo uniforms. The uniforms don’t leave much to the imagination, and I imagine I don’t ever need to see this pic again.

Marlins try to avoid sweep against Mets
As awful as the second half of the season has been for the New York Mets, playing the Miami Marlins has brought out the best in them.
David Wright hopes facing Ricky Nolasco continues to do the same for him.
The one team the Mets have swept over the past three months is Miami, and they could do it again Sunday as the slumping Wright takes on a pitcher he's dominated.

Mets 7, Marlins 3
In the first two innings at Citi Field on Friday night, a team missed a popup and a fly ball, botched a grounder and threw a run-scoring wild pitch.
In a surprise, the guilty club was the Miami Marlins, not the New York Mets.
The Mets managed to avoid falling into last place in the NL East, beating the cellar-dwelling Marlins 7-3 as Scott Hairston hit a two-run homer and RBI triple...

The Mets hadn't scored more than three runs in a home game since August 12th. They hadn't scored more than one run in an inning at home in a span of what seemed like a millennium. The Mets had only won 4 games at home since the All-Star break. Then the Marlins came to town and basically obliterated all of those streaks as the Mets completed their sweep of Miami with a 3-2...
