the OFFICIAL CC Marlins thread.

Shouldn't this be referred to as the 'OFFICIAL CC Baseball thread' ?

No this thread is about the Marlins, but I welcome talk about other baseball teams...

They remind me of how insuperior they are to the Marlins.

I still think it should be about baseball in general. Otherwise we'll get threads popping up all over the place focused on single teams.

The Mariners have a monster team on paper but simply arn't playing up to their potential. Sort of the same story for my Jays. Good team on paper but terrible on the field.

I used to cheer for the Indians but I lost respect for them over a decade ago when they dropped both Thome and Ramirez. It's one thing to drop one slugger but it's boneheaded to drop two. They've never been the same since. I do still like them but I'm more of a Jays fan now because they're actually putting together a pretty good team.(on paper anyway)

Going into the season I thought the Jays actually had a chance to get the wildcard but that seems quite out of reach now. They do however have one of the better pitching staffs in baseball just like expected.

The Mariners aren't even good on paper. Lopez and Betancourt are possibly the worst combination up the middle in all of baseball. Betancourt can't play defense or hit, and Lopez is an average hitter at best and horrible defensively to boot. Our starting rotation is in shambles. We got screwed on the Bedard deal. The front office refuses to get rid of the useless players (Vidro, Cairo, Batista) on the team. We, the fans, are pretty upset right now. At least, the fans that are paying attention.

The only positive thing I can pull from all this, so far, is that it can only get better.

HA HA for you. The A's don't have a good team on paper either, but we are rebuilding. We kinda lucky, our players are doing good though

Speaking of the A's. They have what I consider to be the most unique player in all of baseball. Jack Cust is what Neo was in the Matrix. This guy is a breed of his own. He leads the team in HRs and is a pretty damn good power hitter. At the same time, he leads the league in walks and strikeouts. It's his BB\SO ratio that amazes me. Most big sluggers like him simply K alot but not this guy. He also draws a ton of walks which makes him a truly unique player. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Cust on pace to break the all time K's in a season record?

No thanks. I've got my hands full with 4 fantasy leagues.

....and I'm not winning any of them.
