When will the Marlins get their second June win?

[ODUalum11]

They're also getting a new stadium either next year or the year after.

This is pic is from when they played the DBacks last week....

I'll be surprised if they sell out that first game in the new stadium.

Does look like its gonna be a really nice stadium though....

Marlins lose again 2-1 for their 11th straight loss. I believe thats 19 of 20 now.

Jeebus.

And I thought the Mariners had some pathetic crowds.

And this is what is known as a boondoggle. Who the hell was dumb enough to pay for this thing?

Not sure, they barely have any fans so I'm not sure why they need a new stadium. The NFL was asking the dolphins to put a retractable roof on SL Stadium anyway so I think the Marlins and Dolphins should have partnered up and put one on there. It's not like the stadium is outdated. It's actually a pretty nice stadium. Been there for 4-5 marlins games and a couple football games including the Florida-Oklahoma NC game a couple years ago.

I disagree - even the conceptual drawings aren't exciting for this place... it looks like Minute Maid Parks homely sister...

I don't love retracto-roofs anyway - but if you need them (and very few places really do) Miami is one of those places... that being said - there is a right way, and a wrong way... this was very much the wrong way.

Safeco? right way. even Toronto is okay... but the rest make you feel like you're watching the game in an airplane hangar...

This place looks to have very little atmosphere, very little character... it looks like... well it looks like a ballpark designed and built by the jackasses who built a city full of crappy high-rise condos.

Wasn't Alvarez recalled in part because of how poorly this went down?

Jeff Loria deserves a special kind of hell for his behavior.

Well the stadium isn't completely finished yet obviously so I'm gonna wait until then. I think it will look a whole lot better when it's actually finished.

I'm a huge dork for these kinds of things - and even the concept drawings for parks that end up sucking look good beforehand... (Nationals Park and New Busch) these don't even excite me... granted - as a Twins fan I'm spoiled rotten by Target Field - which EXCEEDED the drawings in every measurable way...

Yeah, Safeco after seeing that pic is definitely one of my favorite stadiums with a retractable roof. I guess I do see where you're saying that its like watching a game in a hanger. I'm not too crazy about Milwuakee's stadium but I like Arizona's stadium as well as Houston's stadium....

I've been to Miller Park - never to Chase Field... Miller Park is the consummate "airplane hangar" feel - even when the roof is open it feels closed. Milwaukee didn't need the roof - it cost millions - forced delays and killed three workers... what a waste.

Yeah at least with Chase Field and Minute Maid Park they have some character...Miller park has absolutely ZERO character.

The Marlins have hired Jack McKeon as their interim manager. He's all of 80 years old, but he WAS the guy that got them their one title.

Good gawd. Will he even be able to stay up for night games?

Also, they have two titles.

Marlins actually won tonight. Defeated the Angels 5-2.

[ODUalum11]

Marlins lose in extra innings to the Angels, 6-5. Make that 20 losses in their last 22 games.

[ODUalum11]

Marlins lose 5-1 to the Mariners. Make that 21 losses in the last 23 games.

[DSUrocks07]

Just for argument's sake, after losing 11 straight the Fish finished June going 4-4.

And the new stadium is going to be AWESOME!!

The biggest issues regarding going to home games will be addressed

- Terrible Sightlines (baseball in a football stadium)
- Weather (sweltering heat/humidity, and rain)
