First time at Marlins Park.

Boy, what a disappointing game to go to.

 

[Hewson]

Well, you got to see a guy get 7 hits in a game for first time in 41 years. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

That's true. I also got to see one of those special "the relief pitcher is batting" moments. Hah.

How was the park? I've been curious since they opened the place.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Everything on field and in the stands is gorgeous. Seeing it on TV makes it look dull. It's positively vibrant.

I thought it had a reputation for good food. Not my experience. It was pretty typical ballpark crap. Obviously could've made some wrong choices.

Even among ballparks, alcohol is incredibly expensive. $15 'imports.'

I'd say overall, B+/A-. As reference, I've been to the old SunLife, Tropicana, the new Yankee, Fenway, Nationals Park, and Coors Field.

I was there when the Phils were in town at the end of July. I liked it. The lime green is still annoying in person, but everything else is solid. The prices aren't great, as LN7 noted, I think I threw down $50+ just on drinks during the game.

Design-wise it reminded me of Houston's ballpark, which I've never been to but I have seen on TV.

Nice! Right, if you go again, maybe you should try some Spanish food. I'm assuming it's sold there. They've got 15 dollar beers at Yankee Stadium III also. I nursed one for 4 innings.

Fuck the Cardinals.

Go Cubs.

Utley!

 

[cobl04]

Utley!

I bet you CHASEd down this thread to post this, huh?

 

[BigMacPhisto]

He had a hell of a night back in Phily though. Great game for us Dodger fans. It's still mind boggling how great this team has been with Kershaw on the DL.

Utley!

I'll see your Utley! and raise you a Mookie!

 

[Oregoropa]

Did they play Kashmir when he came to the plate?

I saw the Dodgers a couple of times this season and they still play Kashmir, yes.

 

[PhilsFan]

Yes, the Phillies played Kashmir for him last night.

 

[Oregoropa]

Yes, the Phillies played Kashmir for him last night.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yo.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I quit.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

TEBOW!!!!

in other news: fucking Jays

 

[gump]

Fastest rebuilding in baseball history.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

The Marlins nosedive is humorous.

This will sound fucked up coming from a Marlin fan perspective, and maybe the loria is getting to me, but if there was ever a time to blow a core up while it still has value, that's now. Stanton can't stay healthy, Ozuna is too streaky, Prado will be gone ($$), Gordon is off the juice... Fernandez and Yelich are the only pieces that don't quite bother me.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Alert: Rich Hill laying the smacketh down on the Marlins right now

 

[Hewson]

He's throwing a no hitter.

#jinx

 

[LuckyNumber7]

He's throwing a perfect game.

 

[Hewson]

And gets pulled after 7 perfect innings

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Adam Conley had a no hitter going into the 9th earlier this year and Dumb Don Mattingly put Jose Urethra Urena into the game and he not only blew the no hitter, he almost blew the game.

Anyways, Jeff Francour was always a Marlin killer who destroyed everything nice. Now that he's a Marlin he even destroys enjoyable moments as a suffering Marlins fan.

Honestly didn't over at the name and thought BVS made a surprise appearance in this thread
