Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
As the Miami Heat’s recently concluded best season ever amply demonstrated, this city’s sports fans have only one mode of transportation: bandwagon. Sunshine fans in the Sunshine State. If our team loses a few, we disown it. It wins, we break out our T-shirts and pennants and pose about how we’ve always been dedicated. Hard to fault the Marlins for considering a move to San Antonio. And hard to fault the Marlins’ play of late, though we’ve been faulting them — without abandoning them — all season. In a recent interleague series, the Fish swept Toronto, and, when this item went to press, the cellar-dwelling Marlins were only three and a half games out of second place (yes, the NL East does suck, but still …). Junior-league powerhouse Boston comes to town for another interleague matchup, Friday at 7:35 p.m., tonight at 6:05, and tomorrow at 1:05. Brace yourself — the Marlins might not win all the games. Tickets range from $6 to $90. Dolphin Stadium is located at 2269 Dan Marino Blvd., Miami. Call 1-877-MARLINS, or visit florida.marlins.mlb.com.
