it worked so it actually was a success

It was stupid but hey they got the job done.

When I'm back on top, back on top in June."

It was successful but I hope they never get anywhere near the Cubs.

Those idiot horns are an abomination.

Just listen to how it sounded on the Marlin's broadcast...

And this franchise

has won two World Series, just makes me ill.

Oh, I just can't wait until the Cubs play there in September...

… to see what nasty slam on the team and Cubs fans their marketing department can come up with for that series.

makes me not want to travel to Miami

last year was pretty low.. even for marlins’ standards

If the Marlins are out of contention by then....

… that place will be awfully empty.

The sad thing is the best response to their idiocy is to not show up to their park

and hit them in their wallet when they do crass things like this. And staying away from a game we play would be a shame.

The other side of that coin would be...

… take over the place, be ALL Cubs fans there, and boo their players and all their marketing crap.

That would be fun to see. I know the Brewers would be afraid to try those stunts

because we would do that.

Remember their mascot bringing out the goat?

That might have been two years ago. Still downright nasty of them

Two championships in less than 20 years of existence

we should be begging to learn how they do it

There is no such thing as an ugly female breast

Their farm system sure had a lot to do with it.

Which is definitely something to take away from their WS wins for Ricketts. Tampa Bay should already have told them that, but if not the Marlins are another.

Fortunately, the Cubs now seem

to care about player development. For like the second five year period in seventy.

Not thanks to their marketing department.

Two World Championships and it looks like no one noticed it in Miami.

First Thundersticks

now Vuvuzelas. The World Cup can really show Americans what other noise making annoyances are around the world.
