Is This the Straw That Breaks Loria's Back?

HAHAHAHA

We dumped Cody to gt Maybin playing time!!!
--------------------
We've got the 5th best record in the NL over the last 5 years!!!

<- my actual reaction when he said that.

[Swifty]

He really makes me angry.

Well, that's basically what Tommy said last night. Our spending is fine because we won the WS in 2003 and because of Gaby, Stanton and Logan

I could give two shits what Tommy Hutton says though. When the President of the team is hanging his hat on that fucking stat in which we haven't even made it to the post-season in those 5 fucking years it's fucking pathetic.

I like how he said he needed to ask the PR Department for the exact number.

The Fish probably could have made the postseason fairly easily the past 2 years. I agree with that. Has Loria ever promised to increase the payroll any year other than the new stadium year? I believe he will be a man of his word. I also believe we will have a dirty team in 2012. Absolutely dirty.

[Swifty]

Never promised to increase payroll. We were promised to have "payroll match revenue." Plenty of shenanigans can ensue.

Hes never even said he will raise payroll in the new stadium year. The line has always been "payroll will match profits"(or something rather similar to that).

Swift beat me to it.

If only we had a real commish in this sport instead of a figurehead.

[Branch]

If only teams with low payrolls were forced to sacrifice their right to take part in revenue sharing. That'd put a kick in Loria's ass.

Edit: well nah, I guess that wouldn't be fair to the other teams. So, if the Marlins were forced to sacrifice their right to revenue sharing, I guess. lol

Quoted you rather than shenanigan guy (I appreciate you too, shenanigan guy)

Anyways, I always heard it would be average. Didn't know they did this whole politician type talk. It sounds very slippery.

Don't want to paint yourself into a corner.

(a corner of spending money)

[Swifty]

Beef's completely right. Promises are bad.

It's unfortunate that we as fans trust them this little, though (and that they've given us no reason to trust them, either).

[Big Z]

I can't wait til MLB runs Loria out of Baseball. Let him sue MLB, it's obvious everybody hates him and knows what a greedy owner he is, he can't win anything if he sues MLB, specially after all these reports have been leaked. Loris should have no right to own an MLB team, as for Samson, he can just go to hell.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhh
