Miami Marlins pulled one on their fans...
sure, it's spring training - but the Marlins - who were the worst team in baseball last year - almost 40 games under .500...
then they start out this season jacking up ticket prices and promising better - "premium caliber baseball"
(but the jacked up prices were really a thinly veiled way of sticking it to the far greater number of Red Sox fans than Marlins fans -- so this was a ploy to ream the fans of the "other team".)
But in yesterday's game, the Red Sox showed up with a "B-roster" and the two teams were a little less than "premium" and the fans were ticked..
The Marlins blamed the Red Sox for not bringing their superstars (there is a rule that says they have to field at least four big leaguers), but the Boston press calls it like it is...
the Marlins are a joke for jacking up prices, calling their product "premium" then delivering mediocre!
