    Hey Foxsports Blog Fans,    I'm  chiming in  concerning my beloved Florida Marlins.  It's just  the  start of the  season,  but  I'm  already  feeling  disgruntled  following their  dismal  start.  I   believe that  it's just  the beginning  of  what's  going to  be  a dismal  season  for the  organization.  With a   crop  of  young starters   and  merely  a  handful  of  players that you can say  have major  league  experience,  it's going  to be  real learning experience  for  these guys.    Perhaps  the  only  bright  spot  on the  horizon will  be seeing how  the  talent of  Miguel  Cabrera, Dontrelle  Willis  and Jeremy Hermida  stack  up  against the  major  powers of the  N.L.  East  and the rest  of  N.L.    In  my  eyes,  they  face  a daunting  task  and  it  doesn't  help  that  Joe  Girardi   was  hampered from  the  start  by  management's decision to  gut  the team  as an  economical strategy .  We  might  as well  be  sending out  a  AA  team  if  that's  how  they  see it.   Now  today,   I hear  that  a judge in  San Antonio  has  issued  an  ultimatum  to  the  team  to  make  a decision as  to  whether  or  not  it  intends to  make  the  move  there  to  Texas.  Once   again  that's  MLB  allowing the  franchise  to  walk  all  over the  fans.  Granted , our  own  legislature  here   in  Florida  hasn't  been  to  helpful  to  the team,  but  time  after  time   Jeffrey  Loria  the  team  owner  hasn't  been  upfront   with  his  intentions.   He's  tried  to  hold  the  fans  and  the  state  as a  whole  hostage ,  without  ever  truly  declaring  his  intentions as  to  his  desire  for  the  franchise.   Now  he  declares  because  he's  unable  to negotiate  the  building  of a stadium  at  the  taxpayers' expense ,  the team  will  have to be  moved.  Bud  Selig  will no doubt  give  this  his  blessing,  as  he  so  often does.    Remember    Loria  bought  the  team  primarilly  with  a  loan  put  up  by  MLB  itself,  after  having  sold   The  Expos at   a  bargain basement  price  to  the  League.  Disingenuous  at  best ,  the  league   serves  only  itself  and  nobody  else.   Not  the  players  or  the  fans  and  certainly  not baseball.  Thats   why  come  the  trade  deadline    if  they're  any   takers   out  there  for  our  primary  talent  please  come  and  get  them.   Any  takers  for  D-Train,  Cabrera  and  Hermida  ?     Baseball   can  work  in  S. Florida  we've  got  the  demographics  to  make  it  work,  but  those  who  say  that  there in  the  know  just  don't  know   how   to  go  out  there  and  market  it  to  the  fans.   Selig  and  his  cronies  do  a piss  poor  job  of  marketing the  sport  as a  whole.    Can    I  get  an  amen  on  that  ?
