Sorry no whole articles. A couple paragraphs at the most.

It's been a rough season for the Marlins, maybe the staff change will make an impact for next season.

how bout they change where they are located? 2 rings in 10 years and games with under 1000 people in attendance? then when they play the mets or phils or if they played yanks in interleague, etc they have a disadvantage even at home.. how sh*tty must that feel to play for the marlins and whenever wright or rollins come up you hear fans chanting mvp or doin the jose chant in your own stadium? just move the team for the sake of cabrera, hanley, and the rest of em.. these guys would be HUUUUUGE stars(recognition i mean, they alrdy are stars playing wise) on almost any other team.. its a shame

You think that's bad, wait until their next series. The Cubs may clinch a playoff spot in Florida and I'd be shocked if more than 5% in attendance are Marlin fans. On WGN they've been advertising tickets for the series and telling people to go down.

They shouldn't have made changes going into the '07 season. How is baseball not popular down south?

the sun is not popular
losing is not popular

maybe if they'd stop trading away all their good players after they win a title people would show some loyalty...why bother with a franchise that wants to win once every so often instead of one that tries to win every year?

I would so much rather see my team win a championship every 6 years and be truly awful in between than see a team that wins 85-90 games every year and go nowhere.

I'm trying to figure out which one of these is the Red Sox

Keep trying to figure it out.
