....weeks after the 1997 World Series victory douchebag delux owner Wayne Huzinega starts to sell off all their key players in a record firesale, then attendance plummets, then the team gets sold, then the Dolphins (still owned by douchebag delux Wayne Huzienga) want to kick them out of their stadium, then there's talk about moving or even contracting the team, then the team gets sold again and attendance plummets even more ***BREAK OF GOOD FORTUNE: the Marlins miraculously win the 2003 World Series END BREAK OF GOOD FORTUNE *** then the current ownership decides to once again sell off all the players from the 2003 team, then attendance once again falls, then you again hear serious talk about the team moving if they don't get a stadium of their own, then ***BREAK OF GOOD FORTUNE the Marlins are able to get construction of a new stadium started, barely, thus narrowly avoiding a move out of town END BREAK OF GOOD FORTUNE***, then owner Jeffrey Loria starts to unnecessarily meddle and threaten manager Fredi Gonzalez's job despite Gonzalez having lead the team to a winning record despite the lowest payroll in the league....
...the very worst thing that could ever happen to the Florida Marlins, ever, just happened.
