Fish Stripes, a Miami Marlins community

This article discusses the Miami Marlins' rollercoaster 2012 season. The team has fallen short of expectations because of a weak offense, shoddy pitching, and a boatload of injuries.

The Miami Marlins offseason has me wondering, if they don’t win the division are they a failure? Considering they’ve added talent, and lost none I would say it’s "division or bust". Joan Rivers is jealous at the amount of work the Marlins got this offseason. Not only did they change the team name, but so did their MVP right fielder, and 2011 saves leader. The new, expensive, ballpark in Little Havana is complete, and along with that comes the financial obligation for the franchise to make a lot of money. Step one, change the team name and logo to ensure uniform sales (cha-ching). Step two, hire a fiery new manager that the fans and players can relate to, thus gaining more local and national television interest (cha-ching). Step three, sign the most coveted free agent shortstop to sell more tickets (cha-ching). Finally, step four, make it to the playoffs and reap the benefits of playoff revenue. Check back in September for that one, but it looks promising.

For those not digging the Fish's orange and black official caps. Cool J's has them in White with either red, grey, and black or blue, grey, and black.
