You're kidding, right? The NL East and AL East are about equal I seriously laughed out loud when I read this.... you can't be serious? Oh wait.... it's 83.... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That heat will kill you.And yet the players, the ones exerting themselves throughout the game, as opposed to fans sitting in the heat drinking beer, somehow make it through the blazing, murderous heat. How does that happen?just take all tampa, miami and atlanta sports teams and move them to places like Iowa and watch them pack the house. Iowa? You have to be kidding me. Better attendance than in Miami for sure, possibly Tampa, but Atlanta? Come on. There's a reason there's not a team in Iowa right now. A bit of an overstatement here, but not surprising given the source. This source has forgotten more about sports than you will ever know. Atlanta is a complete bandwagon city. Look at the Braves playoff games back in the day. Im concerned you didnt see the sarcasm in the Iowa comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've never met me in your life and your extent of your communication with me is on here, usually about USF athletics. You constantly talk about things about which you have absolutely no clue. Atlanta sports is one of them.Your bravado never ceases to make me laugh. At least you're good for something on here. :loser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking jokingly in a reaction to a single post you made about me. I have no idea what you stand for. Sorry you are from Georgia it wasnt a personal attack on you not going to games. I am flattered you follow my postings on this site. I am obviously doing something better than you. yee haw buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you don't recognize me as a poster probably means you're too thick-headed, stubborn and/or clueless to listen to arguments of substance or reason. Fuggedaboutit, yo.

The Marlins will make some noise next year, so long as some of those bats can stay healthy. The lineup was decimated with injuries this year. And I think the bullpen is one or two more extra arms away from being solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many keepers are you allowed in this league? You can't have to many pitches with more upside than JJ on your roster unless it's a really small league.
