Item: Marlins trade Reyes, Johnson, Buerhle, Bonifacio, Buck to Toronto
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria says the trade is not a fire sale.
Many South Florida fans are angry they’ve been lied to.
A couple of things …
Loria was not the owner when the ’97 World Championship team was dismantled. Not exonerating him, just stating fact.
The Marlins-Jays trade ultimately could be a wash or even a Miami positive when it's examined a few years down the road.
But …
Loria and team president David Samson found a group of politicians who agreed to publicly fund a new stadium in Miami.
The Marlins also have benefitted financially from MLB’s revenue sharing.
So, when Loria & Co. threw around money last winter, optimistic Marlins fans believed the small-market mentality was gone for good. Ha.
Skeptics – even those, like me, who hoped things had changed – knew the team’s dysfunctional track record (owner involvement, management obsession with controlling every message) remained prevalent.
The big spending lasted one year. Sure, the season produced an embarrassing last-place finish, but it didn't warrant a 180.
At worst, Loria and Samson are greedy liars. At best, they are arrogant, ignorant and clueless.
Either way, the Marlins fan base has a right to be livid.
Item: Oregon, Kansas State, Notre Dame all undefeated
Just a few weeks remain in the 2012 season, but as the saying goes, there’s still a lot of football yet to be played.
All three unbeaten teams have at least one game in which it wouldn’t be a total shock they lost.
Notre Dame losing at Southern Cal would be the least-surprising "upset." I think Oregon and Kansas State will sail through to the BCS game.
I’ve said for years, any major college team that goes unbeaten has a right to claim a share of the national championship. I buy into the notion a team only can beat the opponents on its schedule.
No system is perfect. The BCS game is better than we had previously, and future changes should limit the griping by title also-rans even more.
I also understand that in some years, the national champion isn’t always the best team.
Just like the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, which decides a winner. That’s different than determining the country’s best.
I am Doris used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Meruja); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps
ReplyDeletefor free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him as nativedoctor101@live.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
