GAME THREAD: Marlins (63-96) @ Mets (75-85) - Sat Sep 29 @ 07:10PM EDT

What I’m about to say is fucked up. And it’s gonna get downvoted. But I need to get it off my chest.

Miami Marlins,

When you tragically lost a piece of your family... a player who had been with your team for 3 years... whom was loved and respected by the fan base, we treated you right. Cespedes honored him by hanging a number 16 jersey in the dugout. And, we gave one of his best friends, Dee Gordon, a grade A meatball he slammed out of the ballpark in an amazing emotional experience for your struggling team and your fan base. We were also in a playoff race, but still, we did the right thing. Because regardless of this organization, we have players with class.

However, that player, murdered 2 people and killed himself while DUI. Sad, but it doesn’t make what he did any less despicable. He did it to himself. If he survived, he would be a criminal who is blackballed from the MLB. He doesn’t deserve anything, especially for such a short career.

Now, 2 years later, you have the chance to even things out. Tough day for our franchise. 14 year career. Literally Captain America for what he did for Team USA in the WBC. The man has total grit, dedication, and determination. Made it back on the field against all odds for 1 final farewell.

AND YOU FUCKING PITCH AROUND HIM? Not only that, but you put your defense into optimal fucking position to spoil any Cinderella story we can possibly get? Honestly, go fuck yourself Don Mattingly. Go fuck yourself Jeter, the man who got the ultimate send off. And go fuck yourself Miami Marlins. You guys handled that like ass. Fuck your organization. I know you don’t know what a franchise player is like because every other year is a firesale, but you were true dickheads in an emotional moment for our franchise. I hate the Marlins as much as the Yankees now. THE YANKEES HANDLED DW’S RETIREMENT WITH EVEN MORE FUCKING CLASS. Fuckoutta here bottom dwellers
