Leaked documents turn Marlins from stingy to greedy


If I were a Chicago Cubs fan, and now that I'm married and somewhat domesticated my blood alcohol level isn't high enough to root for the Cubbies, I would despise the Florida Marlins. 

It's difficult to despise the Marlins – indifference comes to mind much before hate – but if there's one faction of fans who should groan at every Marlins victory, it's the rowdy bunch from the North Side.

Financial documents leaked Monday by Deadspin.com (and dissected by the Palm Beach Post) reveal that in 2008, the perennially cash-strapped Fish netted $29.5 million while spending a major-league low $29.7 million.

Things I wouldn't do this summer if I were LeBron James:

1. Stroll around an Ohio theme park like you didn't just diss your home state on national television

2. Shoot balls into an impossible-to-make amusement park mini-hoop with those angry fans staring you down.

Then again, I'm the one writing about LeBron, and he's the one living the life, so maybe he has it all figured out?

But James provided a stark reminder in 140 characters or less that he wasn’t the most coveted free agent in NBA history because he acts like a douche in Las Vegas. 

“Don’t think for one min that I haven’t been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!” KingJames Tweeted on Tuesday.

In 84 days, Miami and Boston will destroy the NBA’s regular season ratings record, unleashing a new team of superstars who could redefine basketball or epically fail trying.
