Darvish/Arrieta Martinez Flaherty Mikolas ??? You'd probably want to get a decent #3 pitcher to fill out a playoff rotation. |

The fan support isn't there because they have been treated like dog shit. I mean 2000 to 2006 David Glass is a better owner than the clowns they have had.

It's the same story with the Rays. The baseball market in Florida is shit.

Bro... Even when the Rays were good and in the playoffs, even the World Series, they couldnt break top 2/3rd in attendance. Put a winning team in a good market and fans will show up.
Look at the ****ing Royals. Down there with the Rays and Marlins in attendance. Then 2015 happens... BOOM top 10. |

Marlins have no fanbase because for the better part of 20 years their ownership has been cheap-from Wayne H. to Loria to now- and they haven't made the playoffs since '03. That's like complaining about attendance in St. Louis for the NFL or the Sonics in Seattle. |

How often do HoF talents become available in their mid-20s. And you'd just say '**** it' for a 6 inning pitcher and a string bean? C'mon - that's a no-brainer. Get the superstar just entering his prime and figure out how to fill around him from there . |

Ya ya. Stadium is bad in a bad location. I give you US Cellular Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. Straight up garbage stadium that looks out into the ****ing housing projects. They still managed top 10 attendance in baseball the year following their WS.

At least now that they've torn down Robert Taylor the gangbangers aren't taking pot shots into the upper deck anymore.

excuse me? The Stadium is in a different city, not Tampa. Tampa is the wrong part of town. St. Pete is the cool kids, Tampa is the old Geezers. I live 5 minutes from the Stadium. Wrong part of town? My backyard.
