GriffinM6 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 It would be fun for the Marlins to wear the black alts,and the Mariners wear the teal alts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I've always wondered why things like this happen. You'd think the stadium would be aware of issues like this and have MLB create a schedule to work around this.And miss the opportunity to rake in the home share of 3 games where people actually show up? That's just plain loco man.That's the issue. Even sharing the gates with the Mariners, they'll make way more off of this series than they would at home. Same with the Blue Jays. I wonder whether any effort was made at all to avoid this conflict.I wonder whether we'll start to see more instances where conflicts send low-attendance teams on the road to "host" high attendance teams. I hope not. It messes with the integrity of the pennant races. Florida and Seattle may not do much damage, this year, but NL East opponents would not have been wrong to be upset about Philly getting the extra home games last year. I know this is not realistic, but I'd like MLB to put money aside and say that these games must be played at a neutral site geographically closer to the scheduled home team. This would enable the games (host team schedule dependent) at the Trop, Atlanta, etc. or minor league parks. Seattle should not get free home games.(That said, I hope an NL Team does this with the twins, just so I can go to Target field, watch the Twins in their road unis and see an NL-rules game.)

The_Admiral Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Remember when the Rays would play home games in Orlando? I wonder if the Marlins could've done that. There probably aren't quite as many Marlins fans in Orlando, but there aren't many in Miami either, and I can't imagine there are very many in Seattle. Man, I hate this team. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 IHL's Soviet Wings = MLB's Florida Marlins of Miami, both have to be the most irrelevant team in their respective leagues.I don't think it's fair to compare a Russian exhibition team that played an abbreviated traveling schedule with the Marlins. We'd probably be better off picking on the poor Albany Choppers.Thank you board members for spitting in my face.

Seadragon76 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 This whole saga has proven how much pull Bono and his group have... I mean, come on! They booted out an MLB team so they get the time to prepare for a one day concert.I'd say that's not fair to the Marlins... But, it's the Marlins. If it wasn't for the Florida Panthers being in the same zip code as the Marlins, they would be pretty irrelevent at this point (And yes, the Marlins have won a couple of World Series... But, World Champion teams don't gut their team the way the Marlins did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosrs1 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Couldn't they have moved the 3 game series to San Juan, Puerto Rico's Hiram Bithorn Stadium... just as they did last year for a 3 game series vs. the Mets.That's what I was thinking. Or some other neutral venue. What a slap in the face to have to play a "home" game at an away stadium (not that it will be a big change for the Marlins. They're used to having no support in the stands...). Plus to be fair they were supposed to be out of Sun Life already and have long since outlived their welcome.

Cujo Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Just for kicks, how about both teams break out their mid-90s teal hats for this series? You know, "turn back the clock" to when baseball was different and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
