Mibs I hope you stay because when the topic wasn't Volstad you made intelligent posts and you're active on the board. You also have sparked a lot of conversation on the board although most of it was making fun of you and Volstad.

Funny how this makes me see who may actualy care if I'm here or if I'm not.

I don't think anyone wants you to leave. Some just find it odd, like myself, that this would merit you considering to stop being a fan of the Marlins. I'm attached to the teams in the longrun, not the players.

I want you to stay, Mibsy. I texted Voly tonight to tell him congrats but he didn't text me back

I texted Voly today "Wow, i'm so happy you got traded to Chicago. You just made Miami a better team. BTW, Chicago is the windy city, good luck."

Yeah, didn't think that one through too much, did I?

I would like to make sure the record shows that my post was intended to address people who were listing what seemed like qualifications to be a fan, and to make sure that it was not taken by Mibs as support for her continued presence. I couldn't give less of a fuck if you're here or not, Mibs, and I mean for that to be neither respectful nor disrespectful.

You do know the wind blows in more than one direction, right? It doesn't always blow out.

but like Volstad, it blows

tip your waitresses, ladies and germs

No he doesn't but you can say that all you want to. He's a 30 year old headcase with declining stats who has picked fights with no less than 3 of his own teammates and is a free agent at the end of the year. Volstad is 25 with improving BB and K rates and won't be a free agent for another 3 years.

He had a bad year, but he's been a very good pitcher for his career.

As for Chris, yes his BB and K rates improved, but his homeruns went up, whip went up, h/9 went up, and his ERA+ declined. If anything, he needs a change of location. He was never going to get it done in Miami. This is a good thing for Chris, I think.
