Rotten Fish

I'm watching the Marlins home opener at Dolphin Stadium. I don't think that it's typical for seats to be open in the front rows of the lower boxes for an opening day game. Especially in the VIP seats behind the plate. But there they were, in all their teal glory. Another bad sign for the future of MLB in South Florida.

Between innings, the Marlins ran a house commercial promoting ticket plans. The commercial centered around a pair of young punks who come across a red convertible in the parking lot with "Go Phillies" written all over it. In a display of good sportsmanship, the duo goes off-camera, comes back with a cooler full of dead fish, and dumps it onto the seats of the car. Oh, what fun!

Any franchise that would even consider running an ad like that doesn't deserve to exist. The people of Miami are merely showing good judgement by telling Loira and Samson to go to hell.
