    This is so stupid. Play it in the Unites States. The same in NFL, stop trying to make money.

    I am going to fly down to Miami and take a raft to the game. You know, the reverse commute.

  4. metsaholic says:

    You only need a raft if you’re going to Cuba. There are flights to Puerto Rico every hour. Welcome to the United States.

    I’ve been saying the Marlins should play some games in PR ever since the Expos stopped playing there. Glad they finally caught on. It makes too much sense not to do it.

    Yes!! My beloved Mets back in my backyard!

    I still remember the last time the Mets played down here:

    Benitez giving up a GW HR to Orlando Cabrera in extra innings.

    Anywho,

    LETS GO METS!

    This story was reported on a local (Puerto Rico) newspaper. It basically states that the negotiations are in quite advanced stages, and that pretty much the only thing pending is some monetary discussions between MLB and the Marlins. As for the date, the piece states that no specific weekend is set, but that it would be one of the three weekends the Marlins play as “home team” against the Mets – that is April 1 thru April 3 (opening weekend), July 28-30 and August 29-31. The local promoter is pushing for opening weekend, but would also consider the other two dates.

    For those of you who speak Spanish, below is the link to the story.

    Awesome! Since the Mets don’t play in Florida this memorial day, I will definitely make this my “road trip”.
