The only thing the Marlins need now is a laugh track over the loudspeakers when they play.

 

[h3ro]

WTF is up with that green wall? That's worse than the HR thing.

I believe middle-aged Caucasians call it "swag".

 

[eznark]

Everything about Miami is hideous

 

[Guileless]

Thread title made me laugh. Memphis is so totally consumed with basketball I turn off the radio until April. Last year it was worse bc of the Grizzlies playoff run.

 

[Malo]

That looks terrible. What are the Marlins thinking?

 

[FrenchToastDisciple]

What are the dimensions for that park? That one picture Solidsnakejej posted makes it seem quite small. Could just be the perspective though.

Edit: Never mind. They're actually kind of big, especially to right center and center. Must have been the perspective.

There's a giant fish tank/aquarium behind home plate, or at least they planned one, not sure if made it into the final design.

 

[Sanjuro]

I keep staring at the home run...thing. I can't get over the fact that it's real. I'll never get over it.

That shit crazy. The Marlins get a new park and these are the things they decide to do? Lol

They planned this to be a pitcher's ballpark so it isn't small.

Yes, they're there they installed them awhile ago, it's two separate aquariums with a middle divider

Loria is a art dealer, he wants the stadium to be an art exhibit.

Then why is he turning it into a cheesy Miami Vice theme bar?

 

[The Elite]

I for one am excited for a Miami Vice themed stadium.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Well shit, I think the lime green wall is AWESOME. It's nice to inject a little style into your identity as a team. It'll generate press, and make people feel like the team is part of the community for once.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The Phillies and Chad Qualls have agreed on a 1-year, $1.15 million deal.

 

[yankeehater]

He was really good at the end of last season, hopefully it will carry into this year.

 

[RumblingRosco]

That lime green wall has to be temporary. They'll paint over it.

...right?

So would have preferred Lawrie over Montero for Pineda ... damn you Blue Jays!

Reds #9, 3rd best in the NL in CBS's offseason power rankings. Love it.

A really nice article of Derrick Hall's cancer recovery.

He's on a short list of people that could replace Selig.

Replacing Selig and being better? That list could look like the social security number list.

Meanwhile, at the home of the 2012 All Star Game, the Royals have installed the largest solar array in any MLB ballpark, right behind the world's largest (as of 2009) HD screen.

- Getting more general, Paul Beeston said that MLB has been looking into spicing up interleague play by having NL rules in AL parks and vice versa, much to the delight of fans who could somehow possibly give a fuck.

More gimmicks! It's like the 70s all over again!

Can we make these mandatory for every team while we're at it?

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Fuck the MLB.

 

[Sanjuro]

junior member delivers in his second posting.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Now that's fucking stupid. If interleague stays, whatever, but changing rules wenever the hell they want would be dumb.

 

[Malo]

That sounds fucking dumb.

 

[captmcblack]

NL rules in NL parks makes sense.

NL rules in AL parks?

Goddammit, Selig.

No worries, everyone; he's doing it for baseball reasons.

He should retire for baseball reasons as well.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Diamondbacks and Miguel Montero have agreed on a 1-year, $5.9 million deal to avoid arbitration. Montero originally filed for $6.8 million while the D'Backs countered with $5.4 million.

Not too early to declare him Jesus though.

NL rules in AL parks?!

DOES NO ONE REMEMBER WHAT THOSE STUPID RULES DID TO CHEIN-MING!?!

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

I miss Chien-Ming.....

 

[clemenx]

Yeah, blame it on the NL that the Yankees are fat and can't run!

Well, it gives the home town fans a taste of "the other league's rules" but I don't know if the average ticket buyer is as fervently opposed to said rules as the average internet poster.

 

[rekameohs]

Pitchers hitting in Boston in early October with divisions on the line will be fun.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Everyone should switch-hit in the interleague games, too.

Except for switch-hitters.

 

[Sanjuro]

They should remove tagging up as well. There is just no need for it anymore.

 

[Fox318]

Pitchers need to switch pitching hands.

Bad business: Replacing Yuniesky Betancourt with Alex Gonzalez is like replacing a gently stewed diaper with a decaying ferret. Shortstop may not be the easiest position to fill nowadays, but come on.

Good to see Larry Dobrow continues to have no clue. Phew, the more things change...
