Somebody tell me what is it with the Miami teams lately (excluding the Dolphins) first it was the Miami Heat resigning Dwyane Wade, adding Chris Bosh and of course the one with the infamous " the decision" the LeBron James. Now with the Miami Marlins (former known as the Florida Marlins) after getting Mark Buehrle and of course the Jose Reyes in free agency, not to mention Ozzie Guillen (wasn't that like the first time a manager got traded to a team?) as their new manager, just like the Heat some have jumped on the Miami bandwagon. For example, Skip Bayless of First Take (one who I consider to be an interesting and very entertaining journalist) has gone on to say not only will the Marlins win the NL East now but they'll go on to not only make the World Series but win the World Series. Not to mention ESPN's first televised MLB game of the season is the Cardinals vs these Marlins, so I wonder why does it seem like the national media is all on Miamis jock now? Then again could this hype put teams like the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (who signed Pujols this offseason) and our very own Detroit Tigers (who signed Prince Fielder this offseason after losing V-Mart and coming off an ALCS appearance) under the radar.
Therefore putting less pressure on those teams perhaps making it easier for them to succeed. If that's the case ESPN can stay on Miami's jock if it's going to take our own Detroit Tigers back to the World Series. Sounds like a good deal to me, what do you think?
