Some Thots

1.) I bet Ozzie's P.O.'ed with having to face Cabrera as a division rival. He's probably right now mailing Miguel 5 or 6 chocolate cakes to congratulate him.

2.) There's been talk on how this trade will ruin the Marlins' chances for a new stadium. Ha ha ha. The way the front office has gone about its recent deal-making with the city, it's almost as if they're sabotaging their own efforts to get a new stadium anyway. Talk like this has accompanied each of the Fish's fire sales, and still for some reason stadium attempts continue.

3.) To be a Fish fan in this era means living with, if not embracing, the fire sale as the guiding principle of the organization. A year like 2007, when most of the 2006 Marlins players returned, is the anamoly rather than the norm. And we all know how the 2007 Marlins did in the standings. The big problem is now we have Flakey Fredi instead of G.I. Joe to run next year's team. Don't know if Fredi can somehow inspire these guys to play beyond their potential.

4.) Think Jeffrey now has scarfed up enough extra cash through this trade to sign his buddy Barry Bonds? Think Barry can play with that tracking bracelet on his leg?
