SI Tackles the Marlins Debacle

[Riptide]

Art Of The Deal Gone Wrong

By S.L. Price

Less than eight months after he opened a stadium built in his own image and at a taxpayer expense that will eventually exceed $2 billion, Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria green-lighted yet another stripping down of the franchise. He insists it's all in the name of winning.

Very good story. Thanks for posting.

Yahoo! reporter says Marlins threw him out of the clubhouse after asking some players about attendance. Marlins also supposedly threw out some fans who were protesting.

Yeah, I saw something on Twitter about Eric Adelson being tossed for asking players about the attendance...

 

[Bristol Whipped]

Well that's terrible. Now the attendance will be one fewer.

Let me take a wild guess that the other reporters mildly protested and went back to their jobs.

Expect a column or two will be penned, and maybe a joint statement.

Or down 10%, depending on how you look at it.

Nah, Dennis Dodd wasn't there

Finally got around to reading this. My favorite line:

In a Herald poll published last November, only Fidel Castro had a lower approval rating than Loria.
