The Mets are in Miami the early part of this week, and of course we all know how the Marlins dismantled their high-priced last-place team of a year ago in exchange for this year’s sensibly-priced last-place team. Now this is very interesting: with all the money he saved on a baseball team this season, Miami czar Jeffrey Loria was able to install a plethora of new features for his expensive new ballpark, guaranteeing that the nine people who actually come to Marlins Park will have plenty of things to do to distract them from the very reason they came to the ballpark. They’ve got a funny way of doing things down in Miami, don’t they?
