    The play-by-play last night described it best ... a cruise ship and a space ship gave birth and the stadium was the result. :mrgreen:

    Hahah, yeah, but that's Miami right? Modern and on the beach.
    Exactly. I'm tired of every team trying to out-retro everybody else. It's about time someone stepped away from the "unique just like everyone else" mindset.

    Now if the team would just ditch the black as their primary color and embrace the orange, they'll really be on to something.

    Miami Marlins Construction Crew Completely Unaware They've Been Building Baseball Stadium
    APRIL 2, 2012 | ISSUE 48•14


    MIAMI—Speaking with reporters while putting the finishing touches on Miami's new stadium Saturday, construction workers at Marlins Park admitted they had no idea what the structure would be used for, despite having built baseball stadiums in the past. "We installed a big pool back there, so maybe all the seats are for people waiting in line to swim?" said foreman Frank Davies, sealing one of the large, inexplicable dual aquarium tanks behind home plate. "But there's that giant rainbow thing with the pink flamingos we built at the edge of the grass that sometimes lights up and moves like a windmill, so I'd say my best guess is this is a really big miniature golf hole or a theme park for disabled children." Major League Baseball has yet to rule the field fit for play, as the stadium has no traditional dugouts, Marlins management having opting instead for two giant sets of wax lips.

    PHILADELPHIA -- Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said prior to Monday’s game against the Phillies that he would travel back to Miami after the game and hold a press conference Tuesday to address comments in a recent Time magazine article concerning Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

    Guillen was quoted as saying he respected Castro for having been able to remain in power in Cuba as long as he has.

    ozzie will be fired for this. dan lebatard (1st gen cuban american) said that castro is cuba's version of hitler.

    No he won't but he should get suspended not that it will do much good. it does however make the team management look like they're doing something. i don't think what he said is worthy of being fired even in this Hispanic dominated environment of Miami.

    I don't think he will be fired over this but I do think he is now the the world's shortest leash. I think if he gets a parking ticket now they'll can his ass. :lol:

    Maybe Ozzie got confused, actually thought the team was based out of Cuba, and was just kissing ass ....

    What a shocker...Ozzie starts running his mouth and gets himself in trouble. The Marlins knew what they were getting with this nutjob.

    now that ozzie is no longer the manager of my favorite baseball team i think it's safe to admit that he is an idiot.

    There was no way Miami would get rid of their coach that quickly (for that comment).They knew controversy would come when they hired him, and they need big personalties liek him to re-build their fanbase.

    Controversy is welcomed and more accepted in international sports. Soccer still does not have goal line technology and a match this past weekend in the semifinal of the biggest professional cup in Britain had a goal wrongly allowed because of this. He is going nowhere people, they hired him because he acts like this. The Marlins have far more pressing worries, like the fact that they are in the same division as the 2 best pitching staffs in baseball. He had to be reprimanded and was. You will never get everyone to agree on the severity of the crime and appropriate punishment.

    Even in that smallish stadium of 37,000 that place loooked kind of empty last night and the team is playing rather well. What happened to Ozzie will galvanize the team and the community IF IF the team continues to compete well against the better teams.

    it wasn't ozzie that was supppose to fill it....the thought was, the stadium would fill itself, and provide the funds to spend on the likes of the SS, Mark, and other players. doesn't look like that plan is happening
