Wow. What a scumbag.

The city should sue him.

On what grounds, not defending him but there's more than a few teams that have gotten new stadiums and didn't exactly field a competitive team just look at the pirates.

Which was the worst screw-job that took place in Montreal? The Expos killing or Bret the Hitman Hart getting double-crossed by Vince McMahon?

They paid for a large chunk of a new park under the presumption that the Marlins would field a competitive team. I'm sure there is sometime of lawsuit that could be brought up.

Too subjective money doesnt guarantee success, they spent 111mm (8th) last season and finished with 69 wins.

Anything controversial and downright terrible is easy to talk about.

Today marked a very special day on the calendars of baseball fans everywhere: pitchers and catchers (on most teams) reported for spring training. While it doesn’t feel like spring in much of the country, an air of rebirth abounds, for the fans of well-off and lowly teams alike. Unless you’re a Miami Marlins fan. Then it’s doom, gloom, despair and Jeffrey Loria.

No, the Marlins faithful, all four of them, don’t have much to be excited about in 2013 after their team was stripped to the bone this offseason. Add the three potential behemoths in the NL East (Washington, Atlanta, Philadelphia) against whom the Marlins will have to compete and the fact that the team’s owner has been holding the city financially hostage for a few years now, and you get a Marlins ticket sales department with quite a problem on its hands.

That problem manifested itself in the picture above. This was the scene at Marlins Park only a half hour before single-game Marlins tickets went on sale Saturday. I count four people, though it’s possible the person in yellow, obstructed by the woman in the black shirt, is a Marlins sales rep. In any case, either three or four people were lined up to buy single-game tickets to Marlins home game this season the day they went on sale.

The Miami Marlins already gave away most of their players to the Toronto Blue Jays, and now, to get some fans in the stands, they're giving away tickets too.

To get a crowd on opening day, the Marlins ticket office is trying to lure fans with this offer: Buy a ticket to the team's April 8 home opener against the Atlanta Braves and get a free ticket to another game in April or May. This officially makes them the Payless Shoe Source of baseball.

When I lived in the Bay Area in the late 90's, I could get an A's ticket with an 8 gallon gas purchase. They also had dollar Mondays ... $1 ticket, $1 drink, $1 dog .... parking was still $20 though.

I agree, I went to couple of games last and I do like the new park but they are certainly screwing their fans. Trade away your top players under the guise of a new park and you will guarantee running off your fans. I probably won't go to any games this year even if they are free. I'm Sox fan who used to root for the Marlins you screw your fans like this and think they'll come running back to your new park.
