With all the festivities planned, tomorrow's game will seem like an afterthought.
Of course with all the turbulent news bursting forth around the Marlins the last few days, the last couple of games have also been taking a back seat. Today's news is more of the same - along with the Adventures of Ozzie we now find out that Leo-Juan may beat the rap after all, that Frank McCourt is trying to drag Loria into the Dodgers bankruptcy, and that the Marlins don't even own the website miamimarlins.com.
But usually that's the case with the Marlins anyway - unbelievable stories paired up with Florida summers and consistently empty stadium. But that, sad to say, will be no more soon. Tonight's probably your last chance to enjoy the spaciousness, in the way a Florida Marlins game traditionally should really be enjoyed, with packs of sweaty people scattered here and there all over the stands, aimlessly staring at each other, wondering why there are so many other fans of other teams making all that noise, and, when nothing else is happening, checking out the game every now and then.
Go ahead. The box office is open up to the 5th inning. You know you're going to miss it.
For those not within a hour's flight, the pitchers tonight are Javier Vazquez and John Lannan.
