Developing. WPB files appeal with Miami Marlins over LWB pick.

Remember. Supporting your team only when they win is not a sports fan. Your team will remember the fans who showed up and supported them when they were not doing so well.

Last night was another bad night for the Marlins.

So you’re wondering, how does one show support for the Marlins? You can start by watching the game this evening at Home. More details are below about the Phillies’ swing through Miami.

Now to the appeal, West Palm Beach’s challenge over the missing beach.

The agenda for next week’s Lake Worth Beach City Commission meeting is now available. Sadly, the expected announcement naming LWB the official sponsoring municipality of the Miami Marlins was pulled from next Tuesday’s agenda (see proposed Item 9Q below).

Although one of the top criteria for being a Palm Beach County Miami Marlins Municipal Sponsor is having a beach, and West Palm Beach does not have a beach, WPB filed an appeal anyhow. Lake Worth Beach does indeed have a beach and this appeal will be tossed according to the experts. But the unofficial official sponsoring will happen but just later in the year.

Thursday, May 23rd was scheduled to be Lake Worth Beach Day at Marlins Park against Detroit. But ends up that is an Away game anyhow and LWB is hoping for a LWB Day in late June when Washington and Philadelphia come to play. Here is Item 9Q pulled from the lineup next Tuesday:


Lake Worth Beach (LWB) and Miami Marlins, a municipality and top-tier baseball “On The Rise”: With only greatness ahead of us LWB and the Miami Marlins stand resolute together in South Florida. Triple-A is behind us and it’s all eyes on the pennant (see backup material for details).


It was not a good night for the Marlins again last night according to Steven Wine published in today’s Palm Beach Post. Mr. Wine is an AP sports reporter because the Post apparently does not have a reporter covering the Marlins but that doesn’t matter because no one in LWB likes the Post anyhow.

Another bad night. So what. Check out this cool shirt by Major League Baseball! If you order two it’s FREE shipping. When was the last time you saw anyone in West Palm with a Miami Marlins T-shirt?

Here’s the latest from Wells Dusenbury at the Sun Sentinel about last evening’s game:


After scoring just one run in a three-game sweep in Cincinnati, the Marlins returned to South Florida hoping to generate any kind of spark for an offense that’s been one of the worst in the league.

and. . .

The Marlins’ lone run of the game came in the 7th inning on an Austin Dean RBI sacrifice fly. The outfielder finished 0 for 2 after being called up from Triple-A New Orleans. Peter O’Brien was sent down in a corresponding move.

Entering Friday night, the Marlins had averaged just 2.62 runs per game. Their 34 runs entering the night were the second-lowest in baseball. Miami is also 26th in hits, 25th in wOBA and 29th in walk-to-strikeout ratio.

Phillies starter Jake Arrieta kept the Marlins in check all night, pitching seven innings and allowing one earned run on five hits and one walk, while striking out eight. Jorge Alfaro was the only Marlins player to record a multi-hit night.

Remember, becoming a Palm Beach County Miami Marlins Municipal Sponsor (PBC MMMS) requires no commitment. It only requires that you support the Miami Marlins.

Imagine if The Palm Beach Post had showed more support for Lake Worth Beach over the last ten years or so. Maybe that newspaper wouldn’t have been sold to Gatehouse Media and they would have a sports reporter covering the Miami Marlins!


Anyhow. . .


The Philadelphia Phillies clobbered the Marlins last night, 9-1. But at the end of the day the Phils have to get on a plane and go back to Philly.

Check back later on today for more information. In the meantime to check out the Marlins’ 40-MAN roster click on this link.

FYI: The Marlins play the Phillies again tonight, at Home. The game begins at 6:10.
