'Loria's two previous Marlins managers -- Jeff Torborg and Jack McKeon -- said Monday they never would have told Loria to stop razzing the umps. "He's entitled to do what he wants," McKeon said. "He's a fan just like everybody else."
'Torborg said he recalls Loria getting "emotional" at times, but said, "I don't tell a grown man how to behave. He has a right to say what he wants."
' ?Hialeah Mayor Julio Robaina said he asked MLB president Bob DuPuy if baseball would help pay for a Marlins stadium. "He said no, but that there are ways they can help," Robaina said, but DuPuy gave no details.
'Robaina continues to insist a stadium deal "will get done," but there's justified skepticism. Miami-Dade County hasn't determined how much of the $100 million-plus funding gap can be covered by property taxes on a proposed industrial park. And Robaina reiterated Hialeah won't contribute its own property tax money -- which could be a deal-killer.' (MiamiHerald)
