It's not even just the losing. The scores have been absolutely ridiculous. Some of these Marlins games in June look like a final score between the Steelers and Ravens, not the Marlins and whoever the hell they're getting clobbered by.
--------------------
Although, these losses will make for some interesting moments in "The Franchise" :D
Dolphin games too. We like field goals. We get excited for them
I can't even watch past the 2nd or 3rd inning lately.
They got a 22-year-old All Star making the minimum for him. They weren't going to give him up for Ricky Nolasco. This is just silly.
--------------------
Yeah, I don't think it was ever reported that we turned that down either.
--------------------
Bob, the admins met recently and decided that posting from current and former members has fallen off precipitously because of posts like this. We asked several current and formerly active members and they agreed. We ask that these type of posts stop. It adds absolutely nothing to the board and brings down the brand we're trying to build. It's funny every once in a while with very stupid posts. But if it's going to be anyone's modus operandi the admins are not going to accept it anymore. It's become detrimental to the board and made it largely unreadable.
Anyone who comes here to talk Marlins or sports should not leave here frustrated over expressing their views on a regular basis.

I can guarantee you don't respond to people who comment on FishStripes (and CBS) like that. This place should not be any different.

Reason: Doublepost Merged
I think the Bryce Harper thing adds something, but I'm also a problem. If the "brand" is to allow posters to say ridiculous things without ever being challenged for those ridiculous things, then I can see why the Bryce Harper post is a problem.
Tell me about it. I'll be so happy to get rid of Ricky, he is so damn inconsistent. We should've taken care of that last season (by trading him), I don't know why the hell we resigned the guy.
I wish we would've traded him to NY for Montero.
How is any rational person supposed to let that comment go by unchecked?
I think trying to be condescending and demeaning to people you disagree with is kinda stupid. Instead of "I disagree, here's why ___" I think we get a bit too much "No, you're wrong, you're literally the worst and I hate you and you should go kill yourself" around here(that may be a slight exaggeration). That's why I tend to stay out of Marlins discussions outside of posting the occasional sexy Yu Darvish picture. This is supposed to be a place for baseball fans, not for half a dozen guys self proclaimed experts with their heads miles up their own arses.

I can agree with that, but none of Bobs posts did that except for maybe the Bryce Harper thing.
That's why I don't get what Festa quoted. Are we not allowed to respond at all to silliness? Because there's nothing in there that's mean spirited or whatever.
I was stating my opinion on the general state of things. I think there's a few people here who need to lighten up. I like the Marlins and like to talk baseball, but I'm hesitant to post anything beyond "winning is good, losing is not good, Yu Darvish, ".
