Next year I say the Jays go with this as their pitching order as long as things remain the same.

1. The Doc
2. A.J
3. Dustin
4. Chacin
5. Marcum

A.J. must leave, I would also like to see Clayton leave, he sucks! Johnny Mac is way better.

Heres what I'm hoping for next year:

Doc
Chacin
Marcum
Dustin

Get a pitcher via trade or signing but if they don't then Litsch can move in there.

Johnny mac is great indeed.
And I forgot about Litsch.

I have a soft spot for A.J, he played well last year.
Clayton can go though.

You act like we do it every year. Once in '98 and a "market correction" in '06.

They complain about not having a CF but they do nothing.

Marlins lose again. 3-7 in there last 10 and 11 GB of 1st in the East. The wildcard isn't much better.

i still believe that you guys have the best strategy of all the MLB

you started by drafting right, then your players got hella good, you win a title, trade em all for prospects so you don't have to pay them the big bucks, and repeat.

you guys have 2 more titles than we do in the past 14 years.

That is not the teams intention to do that. The first time, the pig of a boss crater face decided that he wasn't making enough money on the team so he traded all our pieces for NOTHING. Then he gives the next owner(s) the worst lease every none to man.

Reason for the "market correction",

1. The marlins make NO MONEY on parking, luxury boxes, and next to nothing on everything else.

2. No one goes to the games for various reasons.

Las Vegas Marlins, im tellin ya, it'll work.

Today's Game: Rahje (is that how he spells it?) laid down a beautiful bunt, and single-handedly started a rally in the Top 8th and Bengie Molina (aka God in clutch situations) knocked him home.

Timmy in line for win 4-2 Giants after 7 1/2

MLB won't let the marlins move from South Florida. They want to have a team in South Florida because of the media market. The Marlins TV rating are line 14th out of 30 teams.

Las Vegas will not have a MLB team.

Jays only won one game of three vs the D rays.

What about the Indianapolis Marlins? Indianapolis has both a football and a basketball team but no baseball. I always pondered why they don't have a baseball team.

IF the Marlins went somewhere else I'm sure the name would change.

You never know...The Minneapolis Lakers were moved to Los Angeles, name never changed, and in Los Angeles, there are NO lakes.

I think the reason why they kept the name the name because of the performance of the Minneapolis Lakers from 1947-1960.

Plus I think nowadays teams want to be able to represent where they are from.

Marlins pick up Former Met catcher Jason Phillips and assign him to AAA- Albuquerque.

FWELR · 08-03-2007, 12:00 AM

Josh Johnson has season-ending surgery, and might miss 2008 season as well.
