He people have you check other team the frigging standings lately the marlins are 7-3 and are in second place there second in league behind Arizona in homers they hit 6 in one game I dont see tigers doing **** and there payroll is bigger, We have more power then the problem is our startin pitchin is lame but out bullpen is a lot better then any major leagues team.

This just in.... the Marlins are in first place and have one two Championships since '97. Their front office seems to know what it's doing with a really really really low budget.

With the Marlins payroll, that is a very questionable move.

Isn't $1 like 30% of the Marlins payroll this year? Those crazy guys in Miami went on a spending spree! I heard to celebrate their acquisition they took the whole team out to PF Changs to celebrate!
