Vacation From Sun Life
The Marlins get to practice being home team at a retractable-roofed stadium this year.
Because the band U2 needs at least 4 days to prepare for their June 29 concert across the street from the northernmost WalMart in Miami-Dade County, the Fish will begin a West Coast road trip early and pretend to be the NL hosts of an interleague series against the Seattle Mariners in Safeco Field on June 24-26.
There was precedence for this last year, so the Marlins aren't being uniquely singled out.
Samson calls playing in Seattle "the best and only solution" (but if it's the 'best' solution, it couldn't have been the only one).
Google Maps says it'll take Billy the Marlin 2 days and 6 hours to go from Miami to Seattle by car (geez, it takes me 2 days to just get out of Florida).
