Marlin Mess
This is your boy K-Boogie about to spill my guts on a topic that many of you may not want to hear about. Baseball not just baseball but Florida Marlin baseball. A team that I feel maybe the most disappointing team this year. A year ago this team full of future young stars battled to the last weeks of the season with a fiery manager ( Joe Girardi) and youthful exuberance that made you like baseball. A roster with the likes of Miguel Cabrera (next Manny Ramirez), Dan Uggla, Hansley Ramirez, Dontrell Willis, all corner stones and all homegrown.So coming into this season they were my pick to surprise in the National League and surprise they did. Did I mention that manager of theirs won the Manager of the Year award. Want to know how they congratulated him? They fired him. Yes they fired him. The Marlins replaced him with Braves third base coach Freddy Gonzalez. Even Knowing that I still felt good about this team. Oh how I was wrong. This team leads the National League in errors. Not just errors but they are as undisciplined as the Bad News Bears. Yes I went there. It’s true. Where I feel that Girardi’s strength was to teach these guys how to play the game and not let that foolishness linger. The farm system is as rich as I’ve ever seen in Major league baseball. They remind me of the Montreal Expos of the mid 90’s who churned out the likes of Delino Deshields, Larry Walker, Vladimer Guerrero, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson that’s right the Big Unit, Marquis Grissom, and many more. The team that won the World Series in 2003 has so many parts in many different places in 2007. I still contend that the only team to win two championships dismantle their team will win another before this decade is finished. I just wish they made a better showing this year. The year of the Marlin Mess.
