****Official 2012 MIAMI MARLINS Thread****

Anybody watching the game on Sun Sports? With the orange on black, the uniforms are almost Heat like. JJ has thrown 5 scoreless innings against the Rays so far.

Hey I like having the water shoot up in the air but that's about it.

 

Almost opening day.....and on national tv.....how long has it been since that happened? Some random fox afternoon game against the mets or something a couple of years ago I figure.

 

So its a gay pride float that queefs?

 

I agree I'd rather just watch my team on their regional network instead of FOX and/or ESPN, mainly due to the weird start times on Saturday and Sunday and also the games tend to be longer due to longer commercial breaks etc. Plus like you said the announcers FOX and/or ESPN uses are pretty poor although I am interested in hearing Francona. I thought he did pretty well during the playoffs last year.

 

wow... that HR feature is the worst thing ever.

 

Me too, however I live in NC. So can't watch many games....only the local broadcasts when they play the braves or nationals.

Luckily both of those teams are "local in my area" and both are in the marlins division.

Too bad I have to listen to the marlins opponents announcers

 

David Samson approves.

 

To be honest with you I haven't heard enough of Valentine in the booth to have a real opinion on him. Whenever the Red Sox were on ESPN I was either in a large group setting so I couldn't hear the TV or I missed the game. Usually when I watch games on FOX or ESPN I have the sound turned down and either listening to music or doing something else so I'm not paying attention to what's being said.

As for Francona, I enjoyed listening to him in the booth, he gave good insight into what was going on, what he thought a team/player might do in this spot and why and most importantly he knew when to talk and when not too. I actually learned stuff from him when watching the game, which is important to me.

 

An interesting article about Logan Morrison.

Just put $40.00 down on Josh Johnson to win the NL Cy Young to win $640.00

Come on JJ !!!!

 

Smart move, if he can make 30 starts he probably will win it.

 

I dunno, just saw JJ at +1600 and I jumped on it. Hope he's healthy.

 

That's what I am hoping for.

 

Watch Stephen Starsburgh make 35 starts this season and win it.

 

On MLB network. Yay!!!!!

Still pissed I couldn't get tickets to opening day. And besides, I wouldn't be able to leave work early enough to get to the park in time anyway.

Bring on the season. I still like this team to win the pennant for the first time.

 

There's some relatively cheap seats on StubHub. Plus this:

No excuses Des.

 

Oh yes there are excuses. I'm on call this week. No social events for me.

 

Fitting that the first hit ever is from him....

 

There were two exhibition games before this one so it's not the first hit ever.

Also this is a fun article about A-Rod. I know he's from Miami, but it's cool seeing his professed love for the phins.

Nice reach yank man.....it was a spring training game, and not the first in the stadium. opening day is wednesday.....fitting a new york fan would reach far and wide to try and take credit for something......

 

so those where ghost running in Marlin unis? That sure did look like Jeter too me...

It will go in as the first ever MLB sanctioned event regardless of importance.....it was even televised...there was an official boxscore and batting lineup...you will always be able to look it up....

it was even the first pitch, he did want to waste it...

could have been worse than him hater....

oh and A-Rod, you guys can please take him....please...I think Guillen should push this on the brass....

 

It is the reason why the Dolphins choke at everything...cuz A-Rod is a fan....

 

IT was a spring training game. He is still batting .000 for the season.

the **** he sucked prior to the game however, will still be official.

 

hahahah if he was to give you the middle finger, you wouldn't be able to see any finger if he put every championship ring on that he had on just that one finger...

 

That's a super cool story, tell it again.

 

so, this thread derailed and went down hill quickly......and the OFFICIAL season hasnt even begun yet!


P.S. was dissapointed in the last minute decision not to see the glorious sculpture come to life following Gaby's yard-ball. Was anticipating its glory...but alas, has to be an OFFICIAL game. Oh well...gett'm next time Gaby!

 

you know you love it....I will call your show and tell it to you...

 

In reality I am rooting for them or the Cubs to pull out the NL.....
