Thats weak..... Why are there Cubs fans..3 million of them a year going to Cubs games...

We haven't been to the playoffs in 45 years...and the Marlins won the WS in 97' .... There is no excuse for their fan base problems...

The Marlins are a burden on Baseball, because of their fans not going to games... That is why the profit sharing is not going to happen... Why support a dieing (TEAM) cause...

Pittsburg fans come on here and biatch all the time because they lose players....(Hey guys, goto a game and support your team)...Makes sense to me...

There is nothing worse than a group of fans biatching about their ownership....When no one supports their team...

Biatch about the yankees all you want but they sell the tickets...They have the money to spend, and they keep their number 1 priority happy, their fans...People that keep coming out watching games through the good and the Bad ...

Being a Cubs fan I just don't understand why people want to biatch, but don't want to make the sacrifice by going and watching a lossing team..In hopes their money spent, will help their franchise to be on top again someday...

Fairweather is bad.....(People)

First of all, if the Cubs didn't play in Wrigley, they wouldn't draw half the fans they do on a year in and year out basis.

Secondly, Marlins fans have a right to be ticked off. Why should they be jacked about an ownership when the one they knew before crapped all over them?

It's never happened in Chicago (nothing is even close), so you have no right to belittle the Miami fans.

Holding a community hostage and basically telling your fans "build us a stadium or we are leaving" isnt exactly a great way to have people show up to watch a team play. This happened for 4 years under John Henry when wayne sold the team. Now with Luria, last year there was no advertisment, no commitment from ownership saying they were gonna stay and help nurture the team. It was a transition period. This is the first year the team has gotten it together, and the fans slowly started coming out. Wayne is the landlord, and john henry screwed up when he basically decided to not get money from stadium amenities. All that money goes to wayne. New ownership is in the same boat till the lease expires.

You build the team and the fans come, not the other way around, especially when they keep telling you that the team is going away. Why put loyalty into that? They put a good priduct this year, and i did my part by going to about 20 games during the regular season. I cant speak for the rest of miami and south florida, but I am more than happy with how my money was spent on the marlins this year.

That said, a team has to show commitment in order for a fanbase to develop. When talks of ownership become more important than the game, everyone goes away. The cubs, yankees, bosox and many others have a home, have tradition in place, and have a fanbase which has grown up knowing nothing but the team. Ownership threatening to leave shatters what little tradition you have going.

Well i am rambling now. Go Fish!!!
