Tonight is the first Fiesta Friday night, and to celebrate, the Marlins are sporting new home jerseys.....
The Marlins didn't wear the Los Marlins jerseys that night against the Dodgers, but will in all other Friday night home games this season.

Baseball, however, is a different story, so I happily e-mailed the Marlins to voice my displeasure. Don't mess with my baseball!!! The Marlins are obviously engaging in a publicity stunt, in an attempt to draw fans, due to the fact that their team sucks! Okay, okay, I'll calm down now. Rant over.

Do you actually think that this will draw fans? ???

Absolutely not. However, their level of play leaves so much to be desired that they are now, I assume, willing to try anything.

Edit: I stand corrected... the Marlins have won 4 in a row, making them two games over .500, and tying them for second place in the NL East. :-[ Needless to say, they are not a team that I follow, so I guess I just assumed that they are playing horribly. However, their attendance and fan support, from what I've seen, is still pathetic.

FQ13 who might have a few tiny issues with Miami Cubans ;)
