Just curious - why is there no market in Florida for MLB?
The Marlins did beat the Astros last week, which is scary to an Astros fan. It seems that something is wrong with Pettitte's arm and no one is talking about it.
Sluggo,
Let's see, between college football basketball and baseball, NFL football, NBA basketball, NHL hockey and devastating summer heat and 100% humidity and rain every late afternoon it's pretty easy to figure out. Plus most of us are displaced fans from all over the country, mets, yankees, BOSOX fans in particular.
We went to see Zach pitch last season, after rain all afternoon, then beginning rain delay, then second inning rain delay people were leaving an already half empty stadium. No one wants to pay the bucks for a retractable roof.
Also, the way we are situated which is three counties aligned north /south the folks from the north do not want the two hour drive in traffic to see a game and those from the south do not want to drive 2 hours to the north to watch. Right now the stadium they are using (Pro Player) is in the middle county, but still no one goes.
