But Seattle gets The Edge.

I've had about enough of U2 fucking up the baseball season.

I think Jimmy Buffet has to get some of the blame though. I knew this stupid Philly-Toronto thing would set a bad precedent.

F Buffett too. Some may say there's a woman to blame but I know it's his own damn fault.

Damn you, I was going to start a thread called "U2 Hates Baseball".

U2 has been irrelevant since "Sunday Bloody Sunday."

Marlins president David Samson told MLB.com that the team was anticipating the series would be moved and invoiced the Marlins' season-ticket holders for only 78 games this season. I first read this as "inconvenienced only 78 Marlins' season ticketholders." At least that's what I wanted to believe it said.

The facking Irish .......

A Boy Named Seo Jan 27 2011 04:40 PM Re: Florida gets to be the home team

Why are the Marlins playing the goddamn Mariners anyway? Who really hates baseball here?

Wow, if they lose the division by a game because of this.....I'll be the most shocked person on earth.

Very strange timing here. The U2 tour date in Miami was announced in mid July 2010, prior to the announcement of the 2011 MLB schedule.

Ashie62 wrote: U2 has been irrelevant since "Sunday Bloody Sunday." Yep. I'd even maybe give them credit for "The Joshua Tree" which had a couple of catchy tunes. But that was 1987.

Gwreck Jan 28 2011 08:41 PM Re: Florida gets to be the home team

As far as "relevance" goes it would be harder (so much so that no other popular music artist has in the past 20 years) to draw a greater size and diversity of world-wide fanbase than U2 has. Of course, there's no accounting for taste in that calculus.

G-Fafif Jan 29 2011 04:53 AM Re: Florida gets to be the home team

The Marlins were painfully relevant the final September weekends of 2007 and 2008, seasons when the Mets apparently suffered from Vertigo.

I meant to give kudos to the thread title and Willets first post.
