  • “Greed is Good” by David Samson

  • David Samson’s speech to the Beacon Council, as reported by Miami Today should not be a surprise to Marlins fans. When given a chance to combine Samson with truth, you know it’s going to come out harsh, blunt and pompous but still the truth. Timing is also bad – there’s goodwill for the Marlins right now, something that Loria, Samson, and the Marlins have, undeservedly in our opinion, never really enjoyed. Save this speech for your memoirs or after you’ve left baseball.

    Now, if you actually take a look at his words, they merely reflections of truths we already know. Let’s take a look: More

    • Jesus – I don’t think it’s excuses, it’s just the truth of what he said. I mentioned twice that he shouldn’t have said this stuff.

      I don’t find a “Greed is Good” speech to be something positive.

  • Welcome to the New Fish@Bat!

  • Welcome to the new Fish@Bat, only our 3rd redesign in 17 years. Yes, we started out in 1995 as a little site called “The Florida Marlins Ticket”, transitioning to the Fish@Bat blog in 2007. Now, with the renewed Miami Marlins, we’ve come up with a fresh look and new concept.

    The new Fish@Bat brings together all kinds of content – our latest tweets, blog posts, photos, and videos in one continous display. Just scroll down and you’ll see previous news pop up. Big tiles for featured stories and media, small tiles for tweets and regular news. Tiles cover different topics, identified by text and color. You can always click on the topic to see more posts on that subject or click on a title to read more and, of course, comment.

    The site is optimized for modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9. It also adjust to screen size – go ahead – resize your browser and watch the tiles fall into place. If you are still using an old browser I recommend you upgrade, trust me, it will make your entire web browsing experience better.

    During the upcoming weeks, we plan on republishing older posts aren’t yet in the system. We will also clean up, fix and add more images and graphics to existing posts, so stay tuned.

    Thanks and go Marlins!

  • The Marlins played their first game, albeit a Spring Training game, as the Miami Marlins and beat the Cardinals 4-3 at Roger Dean Stadium. Greg Dobbs went 3-3, driving in 3 runs on a home run and 2 doubles. Josh Johnson, in his first game since May 2011, threw 1-2/3 innings allowing 2 hits and a walk while striking out 2. The Marlins next game is on Tuesday against the University of Miami in their first game ever at Marlins Park.
