The Florida Marlins remind us a bit of the Philadelphia Athletics, what with the World Series victories, shockingly poor attendance, and deliberate team dismantling. But perhaps unlike the Athletics players, the Marlins have been looking forward to coming to town (and not just because of the hurting they put on the Phils last night). A middling Marlins player tells the Palm Beach Post about his attendance envy:

Most other teams “get to play in front of those crowds daily, but whenever we go in there it’s like Christmas almost,” OF Cody Ross said.

Christmas? Well, with a .125 career average against Jamie Moyer, Cody can pretend the cheers after his Ks are the fans of Philadelphia trying to keep his chin up. Go Phillies!
