Are there ANY Marlins fans out there???
Red Sox and Yankees have been very vocal (Red Sox right, and Yankees wrong, of course, in my unbiased opinion).

Cubs fans have certainly been posting.

Have I missed something--don't see many Marlins fans. Am I wrong?

1. I'm here
I agree with you. I was at the games on Friday and Saturday, and the crowd was almost half Cubs fans. By the end of last night's game, there were no Marlins fans left. All you could hear was "lets go Cubbies, lets go!".

2. Maybe it's because the team is so new...
...how many years has the franchise been around?????

3. Since 1993
so it's 10 years old. South Florida's a hard market to begin with. So many people come from other parts of the nation.

4. After they won in 97
and the team was gutted the next year,I know a lot of people who were pretty turned off by the whole business. That win was exciting,though:)

5. Yeah, that was amazing--the win, and the gutting
Maybe the Red Sox should follow that lead--spend a fortune for JUST ONE season!

7. Nope.
Cubs were meant to win the pennant in Chicago. :)
