le batard is a hero

yes

"Project Wolverine" shd def be the title of the next Marlins thread

Not playing captain save a captain, but I suppose one could say that I doubt ESPN would not have lit into Roger Goodell or Adam Silver in the same way and that would be true. ESPN doesn't seem to give a shite about baseball on a good day, so it's not surprising.

Marlins are into their third extinction cycle. Their team existence is some type of weird Chinatown real estate scam, just looping suckers into buying high. Loria was able to flip $158 millon of borrowed money into selling a club for over a billion dollars and he got a world series ring. Who is laughing now?

i think it's more that le batard dgaf -- i'm sure the espn execs (who aren't high) aren't happy

but lol at manfred expecting every single media hit to service him, even from a guy who got banned from voting for the hof

Manfred said "I'm not gonna be deposed" in response to hostile questions because America's executives and top politicians have no experience with aggressive press interviews and only expect to be challenged when sued https://t.co/uA2YXdcXE2

Billy the Marlin filleted

He was probably going to cost too much after arbitration.

we need a new Marlins thread bcz this year is gonna be 'fascinating'

Mattingly said three rotation spots are up for grabs. Dan Straily and Jose Urena are the locks, barring something unforeseen. @Marlins Wei-Yin Chen not expected to be ready by Opening Day #SpringTraining2018

the rotation won't be any better

While Giancarlo Stanton and Christian Yelich were happy to be traded by the Miami Marlins, right-hander Dan Straily says he wants to be a cornerstone of the team's rebuilding plan.

And that's not all.

"I'm glad they're gone," Straily said Friday. "If they don't want to be here, good for them."

lolol

dan straily, heart and soul of the 2018 marlins

open the books!
