  • Breaking News: Marlins Mermaids Shoot Calendar

  • With an 8-game losing streak and the ballpark situation reaching a critical point, we figured we will distract you with some breaking Marlins Mermaids news.

    Yes, the ladies just shot their 2008 calendar at dusk on the site of the famous Nikki Beach nightclub. If you want to get your hands on one of those (the calendars, that is) you will want to mark your old Mermaids calendar for September 23rd when the Marlins play the New York Mets. Prior to the game, the first 10,000 fans will receive the free calendar. Make sure you show up early before the 35,000 Mets fan get to the game.

  • I saw this at a ballpark the other day: Nike has created a “United Countries of Baseball” map depicting the United States as a collection of countries each supporting a baseball team. As you can see on the map, the Marlins essentially control most of Florida. Now, I take this map with a bit of skepticism because it exaggerates the support for the Washington Nationals and leaves a big chuck of the west without any loyalty. But, for a map geek and a Florida Marlins fan, this is a fun one.
