Subscribe RSS FeedThis is just beautiful. The Florida Marlins which upon research appears to be a baseball team, has announced that unless Miami builds them a brand new baseball stadium, they are outta here! The article in the Sun-Sentinel is right here.
Let me get this straight: When any other business wants to build a new office or work place, they pay for it. When Baseball, which further research shows is a silly game involving men in cute uniforms hitting a ball with a stick and running in a circle, decides they want a new work place, the citizens of the community have to pay for it? Whatthefrap???
I have just a few stats to share with any hollow-headed moron who feels this is logical.
Fact 1: Miami has a 17% poverty rate. The national average is 11%. Maybe the millions of dollars it would take to build a stupid stadium could be put to more appropriate use?
Fact 2: What the hell is wrong with Joe Robbie Stadium? (Incorrectly called by the media Pro Player or Dolphins stadium.) Ya got a field, ya got stands. Ya got beer. What the hell is wrong with that?
Fact 3: Attendance. Check the attendance records out right here for the Florida Marlins. The Stadium holds over 50, 000 fans. The average attendance at Florida Marlin games has never busted the 37,000 mark, and most of the time they are damn lucky to get 5,000 “fans†into the stadium. And these muskrat bottom tongue yahoos want the “community†to build them a brand new baseball stadium??? What the hell goober grease are they chewing?
C’mon, a stadium? Ya could rent a high school baseball field and still not fill the stadium with fans!
What is worse than this is the jelly bean for brains sportscasters in Miami. These goobers will be screaming bloody murder about how Miami doesn’t support their team, we have no community spirit, we are lousy sports fans, etc. Ya know what? Why don’t you overpaid buffoons leave town with the Florida Marlins? In fact, the “Fans†of South Florida might just donate a few bucks each for the bus ticket!
We don’t support baseball because it is boooooorrrriiiinnngg!!!! It is about as exciting as watching …….BASEBALL!!!!! This is South Florida, and we have sunshine 365 days of the year, no snow, the ocean, South Beach, deep sea fishing, jet skiiing, the Florida Everglades, tropical nights, and none of us have time to watch grown men dressed up like they are in pajamas scratching their nuts and spitting chewing tobacco out onto a field that the NFL have to play on! (A REAL sport).
South Florida may be a lot of things, but it sure is exciting! Where else will you find a “Two guns or more†lane on the Interstate??
So far, the response from city officials have been mixed:
One commissioner: “We have a baseball team???â€
Another politician: “I thought they left three years ago?â€
The Mayor: “Son estas tuercas de la gente!!!
Bye Bye Baseball! Good riddance! And can you take your 1400 fans with you?
SCG
LOL I love baseball, but I know what you’re saying! They did the same thing here in Cincinnati a few years ago and it hasn’t improved the Reds game one bit.
BRAVO!HERE HERE ! WELL SAID!
I agree! I’ve been to a couple Marlins games….and those were the ones that the Humane Society allowed you to bring your dog. At least it was a good time for my 4-legged kids! HA!
I think you want to say, “Que chingados estan pensando la pinche gente?” Which is a much better translation for “These people are nuts!” and can be used in many different situations. It says What the H E Double hockey sticks are these freaking people thinking? I had to look up what tuercas means cause I’ve never even heard of that word! Here are some good words for you to know: squirrel-ardilla,pl-las ardillas,weasel-comadreja,pl-las comadrejas, ground hog-topo,pl-los topos. Hamsters,gerbels,muskrats,and chipmunks don’t have a translation, or not one that I can find by looking up in dictionary or asking a native. Oh, and “drooling” is babeando. Just to help you out.
