I wouldn't be too surprised to see the new marlins team out perform last years team, or the team contend two or three years from now, so I am not going to condemn Loria for what he did or pretend I know what motivates him. The fact is, they are a highly successful franchise when it comes to winning it all and overcome major shortcomings to do so. Once while loria was the owner.

 

If that is the case, I wonder what that says about Ozzie Guillen.

Hah, they might not have not lied verbally, but Cubs fans have been believing a lie for the past 100 or so years. Haha.

 

Touche.

If that is the case, I wonder what that says about Ozzie Guillen.

 

Judging by the bounceback that pretty much the entire White Sox team had this year...

I do not want to defend the Marlin ownership (Loria, et al) but he WAS smart enough to refuse to give anyone a No Trade clause.

 

It's true that anyone unhappy with their cup of coffee-esque time in Miami has primarily themselves and their agent to blame, but I think (and hope) that this tidbit will be noted a little more closely by anyone kicking around the idea of signing with the team.

 

Loria is a s***-bird. I feel bad for the fish he signed to swim in those backstop aquariums.
