Are the Marlins fans of bad quality or are they just too few in number?

After the second two games, I must say I am proud of both the Marlins and their few fans. On Saturday and Sunday, they both fought back. The team fought back against the "finest hitters money can buy" (Sean West). The Yankees payroll must be at least 6 times that of the Marlins. And the Marlins fans were outnumbered by maybe 10 to 1 by the Yankee fans.

This hook line sinker guy describes it perfectly:

"While you're protesting that, Joe, I'll be protesting the unfairness of trying to enjoy one of the best series of the season feeling like an unwanted guest in my own home. If the Marlins do have to play the end of the game over, HLD&S votes they do it in New York. 
The real one."

It takes a gutsy fan to fight back. Look at this one sole Marlins fan and his girl against a cowardly fat deformed Yankee  monster surrounded by his buddies

If that  wasn't theater enough, how about:

"I saw two separate fights in the stands during the eighth inning, and while I’ve certainly seen my share of those, one of them involved two women who were fighting like Wendi Richter and the Fabulous Moolah. These two women weren’t having a stereotypical slap fight - they were throwing haymakers, essentially shifting all eyes in the ballpark in their direction. I had definitely never seen that before."

Damn, too bad they didn't get the cat fight on You Tube

Who are these Yankee fans? Your friends and neighbors that's who.

Amazing how David Samson and the media were trying to paint lipsitck on a pig about how wonderful it is to have the stadium filled with Yankee (Mets, Cubs red Sox etc) fans. Shame on them

Order of popularity of baseball teams in Florida:

1)Yankees

2)Red Sox

3) Mets

4)Cubs

5) Tied for fifth: Cardinals and Marlins

That is the problem. Sucking up to the Yankee fans ain't going to solve it.

For me. If you live here and you support another team, you are not welcome in my house. I would never hire you or do business with you. You are pond scum, every one of you.

It does get a little frustrating hearing all these stupid effete  Tuesday Emailers who apparently never go to a game, but the Saturday and Sunday games made me proud of the Marlins and their fans (at least the ones that come to the stadium) They both fought back against overwhelming odds.

If the Marlins are going to survive, the stadium must be taken back into the hands of the Marlins fans. Do whatever it takes. Or at least try.

One slight bit of hope which probably doesn't mean a thing.

I often stop off at some joint or another after a game on the way home for a drink and a bite to eat, in Marlins gear of course.. Last year inevitably some clown bartender or waitress would come up and say "I'm a Braves fan" I'm a Mets fan. Etc etc " My great grandmother told me the whole family has to be Braves fans even tho I've lived here for 10 years."  Never once did a Marlins fan come up and talk.

This year without exception every single person who has waited on my table has been an enthusiastic Marlins fan. Grasping for straws but maybe there's hope.
