Why should the Florida Marlins even be in Major League Baseball when they dont spend money to improve themselv?

Why should the Florida Marlins even be in Major League Baseball, they have an embarrassing payroll, nobody good on their team, the fans are indifferent about the product down there, and Both Florida teams need "New Stadiums>

1. They look better than the Mets!! That's why their going to sweep the Mets out of a playoff spot for the 2nd Straight year!
2. Even with revenue sharing, clubs like the Marlins, Royals, and Pirates can't compete with the big boys. If you owned Pittsburgh for example, could you boost your payroll from $20 million to $100 million, sure, however, you'd probably lose about $60 million a year. People who have enough money to own baseball teams probably didn't get rich by owning businesses that lose that kind of money. It's just a matter of dollars. Another example of why they can't compete. The radio contracts alone, RADIO, that the Yanks, Red Sox, and Dodgers have, probably generate more revenue than the TELEVISION contracts of the Rays, Royals, etc.............
3. they spend money and win and then promptly give all of them up 1997 and 2003 world series world series champions but the 1998 and 2004 marlins were two of the worst teams in baseball history. Although they do need a new stadium and tampa's stadium is only 10 years old so they don't need a new one yet.
4. The Pirates are the ones that need to make their team better. I'm tired of the Cubs getting 20 easy wins a year.
5. They have a good team They just need to season a bit
6. Let me guess, your a bitter mets fan thats pissed off because your team got knocked out of the playoffs by the marlins for the second year in a row. Your team has a 200 million dollar payroll and cant make the playoffs and the marlins who have a 20 million dollar payroll have won the same amount of world series titles (2) since 1993 when they were created than your team since it started. Grow up you baby, the better team won, your team will go and spend more money and lose again next year. Oh yea and the only reason you have two titles and not 1 is because Buckner choked. Se be happy you have two cause the marlins should have more titles than you have. Maybe your team would be better if they had what the marlins have which is great scouting. thats why the marlins dont have to spend a bunch of money to find good players. Get some good scouts to find good players instead of going out and signing a bunch of allstars cause its really working for you guys. And Doug K, in 2004 the marlins went 83-79, if you think thats one of the two worst teams in baseball history, you obviously have never watched baseball before.
