bzarcherI'm not a big baseball guy, and haven't been since the various strikes. But tonight...bleah.
You see, a lot of people already hate the Yankees for being a team essesntially run on the premise of 'If we buy all the talent, we'll win!' Being raised a Reds and Indians fan by my parents, I certainly don't object to this. But, I actually happen to think the Marlins are worse.
After all, this is the team that shocked the world with its' ingratitude the year the won the Series by trading or firing the majority of players. Why? Because it wasn't a high enough profit that year. And I've got a good guess that the same thing could happen again this year.
You see, whatever else you want to say about the Yankees, they treat their people decently, and they play the game to give the fans a good show, aside from anything else. They may be a team of bought talent, but they're a team of well managed talent.
The Marlins are run entirely for profit, and its' owners don't seem to give a good goddamn about the game. I feel disgusted that they could get a second world series ring.
