'Brew City Sports' Audits the 2007 Marlins

But before giving opinions on players and positions, Condescendy lets the front office have it...

"The Marlins didn't rebuild properly to rebuild. They rebuilt to dump payroll. Owner Jeffrey Loria is a dick. He pocketed all of the revenue sharing money and maintained under a $10 million team salary. Without going into too much detail again this year, Loria is still trying to blackmail the city of Miami into building him a stadium. If the Marlins couldn't get a publicly financed stadium after either of their World Series Championships, what in the world makes Loria think he's going to get a stadium after putting a sub par product on the field while earning a healthy profit at the league's expense?

"Ultimately, Loria wants to move the team. Whether he moves the team or gets a new stadium, his franchise will be worth at least $100 million more than it is today. This is why the Seligs didn't sell the Brewers until after they worked a new stadium out of southeastern Wisconsin. So, Loria is a sleazedick, and, as much as I love to cheer for underdog young teams, it's difficult to cheer for Loria's Marlins - especially when they powerfuck the Brewers to the tune of a 7-0 record like they did last year."
