Read: Fish Hope to Spoil Again
As the Marlins prepare for the final regular season series at Shea, there is no lack of motivation on their part to repeat their spoiling ways from a year ago.
In the Sun-Sentinel, several players recant their memories from last year, including pitcher Scott Olson, who is quoted as saying:
“Silence is golden. It’s not that good of a stadium. I remember Tom Glavine walking off the mound with his head down without getting three outs.”
Former Met Mike Jacobs:
“It was pretty amazing going from how loud that stadium could be to you could hear a pin drop. I remember hearing some of the guys saying they saw fans that were crying. You like being in a situation to be able to knock somebody out like that.”
At the Palm Beach Post, Joe Capozzi relays some notable quotes, including one from Paul LoDuca:
“It was not a good memory and I’m hoping we can make it not good memories for them again this year.”
Scott Olson chimed in again:
“It was just fun hearing 55,000 people not say a word.”
…it must have reminded olson of under 1,000 fans not saying a word in miami every night…

…not wanting to conjure up memories of last year, i’ve avoided acknowledgement of this series until now, but honestly, this is exactly who i want them to be playing…i’d like to think the mets don’t need any further motivation but seriously, how ironic is this, it couldn’t be scripted any better…the mets pretty much hold their fate in their hands, and what better way to redeem the results from last year’s glavine game, than to sweep the marlins and surge into the playoffs…
