    The funniest thing is the idiots that are actually sitting in their seats. I mean if you are 25 rows up.. and every single row in front of you is empty, why the HELL are you sitting way the hell up there? What are they gonna do, kick you out?

    They ought to give the tickets away. And I thought Reds games were bad.

    I would be giving season tickets to school kids and old people. Anything to get someone in the stands.

    I don't think they'll leave South Florida but couldn't they play at the Alamodome temporarily?

    I'm sure that's what they want. To play in another converted football stadium.

    but my guess is there wasn't only 400 fan in the stands right?

    ...and yet, the astros continue to sell out games even though the product on the field is much worse.

    why don't you think that?

    the area is insignificant in terms of real revenue if they have a sucky stadium deal. and they do. they need a retractable roof like nobody's business. they need a sweet deal all the way around....because if florida doesn't give it to them, they'll find it elsewhere.

    Unless there are more people sitting behind home plate i don't see how that could even be 400 people.

    What's with all the tards hating on baseball? You'd think it was having a horrible year like hockey or something.

    So...would you rather have the Astros past decade of consistent winning or the Marlins past decade of two championships with mostly crap in between?

    There's more stuff to do in Miami than watch boring baseball in the summer.

    Maybe the attendance includes the stadium employees?

    Apathy sums it up. All my friends running their mouths about the Marlins and Heat, yet they never watch a game unless it's the playoffs. The Marlins win over the Indians in the World Series was especially aggravating, all that smack talk from people who don't even actually follow sports. Morons.

    That and baseball is incredibly boring. I'd rather watch curling ahead of baseball, seriously.

    I've always hated baseball. Well, I don't hate it I just really dislike it. Besides the fact that it's extremely boring, its also extremely slow. Football is boring but not slow.
