Struggling Marlins Begin Construction On New Stadium

I'm giggling so hard, I peed my pants!

MIAMI—After a disappointing start to their inaugural season in Marlins Park, Miami Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria unveiled plans Friday to build a new waterfront stadium at Mid-Beach, tentatively called Marlins Field. "We made a lot of great memories at Marlins Park, but our fans need a modern facility capable of housing a winning team," said Loria, who expects funding for the project to be approved by the city and county governments. "This is something we can't solve just by renaming the team the Southeastern Miami Marlins, changing our colors to maroon and gold, hiring a new manager, and installing a sculpture of a giant mermaid who dances with six glittering, spinning marlins every time the team hits a home run, though certainly we will do all of those things." Loria said the Marlins will be conducting yet another fire sale to rid themselves of their recently signed star free agents, but added that he hopes the new stadium will be able to draw star free agents to Miami.

I guess you'll be rolling two logos this football season.

BTW: You do realize that the stinky Marlins have 10 more wins than the Rockies?

But I took great pleasure in booing Ozzie yesterday when he came out on the field. So wanted him thrown out so he would pitch a real fit. LOL
