The Marlins sold 15k tickets per game with the MVP hitting home runs almost every other day...

The previous owner poisoned the water in that market, so I can't be mad about the fans lack of interest... but Giancarlo would look great in a birds on the bat jersey

So, Mr Stanton...

Come to the Lou and play in front of 43k on a Wednesday night or 40k on a businessman's special Thursday afternoon.

Contend every year.

Bank that cash and be the hero to a rabid fan base that cares about baseball, come to the Lou

Snow will probably show up soon.

I wish spring training was starting soon. That would mean this nightmare called "fall and winter in the PNW/Lower mainland of BC" would be ending.
