Sad!

also lol @ the "Jumbo Shrimp" gotta love minor league sports team names

http://thecomeback.com/mlb/the-marlins-got-outdrawn-by-their-aa-team-on-wednesday-night.html

Hey, let’s crap all over the Miami Marlins a little bit more!

On Wednesday night, the Marlins drew just 6,150 fans to their 4-1 loss to the New York Mets, a night after drawing 6,516 for an 8-6 loss to the Mets.

On the same night in Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, Miami’s AA team, had their home opener and drew 6,960 fans.

That’s right – the Marlins drew fewer fans than their own AA team on the same night.

They used to just be the Jacksonville Suns

and while this is sadly funny, it's not like people chose between the two teams. The games were played a considerable distance from each other.

True, but if I had the choice i'd probably choose the Jumbo Shrimp over that sad product Florida/Miami is putting out currently.

Remember when Bud wanted to contract the Twins? I'd get rid of both Florida teams. Neither get much support, probably because Florida is full of transplants who bring their allegiances with them. Tampa plays in a half-assed football dome to sparse crowds and then we have the Marlins.
