All I can say is, WOW. This team is like a crack addict that just can’t stop, no matter how many people try and intervene. Back in August, I chronicled the Marlins’ soap opera-like season, pointing out the on and off the field troubles that had crippled the ballclub in the standings and at the ticket office. Now, as they transition from the Florida Marlins to the Miami Marlins, the hits just keep on comin’.
First, their new Technicolor logo was unveiled, then they “traded” for their new manager, the enigmatic and outspoken Ozzie Guillen, and finally this happened…
That’s right, you’re looking at the new Miami Marlins home run celebration machine. Just when you though they couldn’t produce anything more hideous than their new logo, they kick you right in the nuts with this…thing.
One can only wonder what the Marlins will do next: Build a water slide from the on-deck circle to home plate? Surfboards for benches? A seagull petting zoo? Marlin sushi? Lebron James as their fifth starter?
I don’t know what’s next, but I know one thing, it’s already getting ugly in South Florida and I just can’t look away (though I know I should).
