Hanley Ramirez 2011: Knocking on .250's Door

[Ramp]

Honestly, they trade Hanley, I'm done.

I'd like to think I would be done, but I know it's not true. Besides, if they traded Hanley for Hammer, I'd probably buy season tickets.

[Swifty]

I used to be angry but ultimately ok with the trades, but now it's like, act like a real franchise. Satellite and HD have made watching teams beyond the home team pretty alright.

[Ramp]

I can watch other teams (and I do), but there's no attachment there (unless there's money on the game)

[Swifty]

I'd have a pretty hard time staying attached here if they do the same routine with the new park.

[Beef]

I'll have a pretty hard time with them having a stadium full of Lebron jerseys

[MiamiHomer]

Or anyone really since you hate everything.

[Miamarlin21]

I just don't want them to trade them because every non-Marlin fan will talk shit for an entire year. The same old "the Marlins trade all their players. Fire sale!" All that stupid bullshit. It pisses me off beyond belief.

[Mainge]

I don't want him to be traded because he's still a really good player. Fuck what everyone else thinks.

[Miamarlin21]

Well ya, that too. Of course lol

[Mainge]

Chances are we've had a better record since the firesale than the assholes who talk shit anyway

[Swifty]

Which firesale?

Since the '05 one us and Washington are the only NL East franchises not to have a playoff appearance.

[Mainge]

That one.

[Swifty]

I get what you're saying, and I more or less agree. We're probably better run franchises than the Mets and Phillies (only real difference between us and Philly is $80 million to blow). But it's really tough to be in a position of arrogance from '05 on. We're definitely a franchise that's teetering.

[Mainge]

I'm not in a position of arrogance. It was a rebuttal of another fan laughing at our firesale.

Yeah it sucks ass but we've made out good relative to expectations

[Miamarlin21]

Not that I want them to trade Hanley, but, say he gets back to Hanley being Hanley. Would we get more for him than we would for what we got for Miggy?
