Third year in a row the Marlins have played spoiler for a potential playoff team
Two years ago we knocked out the Mets on the last series of the season, also knocked them out last season. Now this season, we've essentially knocked out the Braves by taking 2 of 3 and putting them four back with 5 to go. :woohoo:

Dammit, if we can't make the playoffs, we're damn well making sure YOU don't!

6. Marlins have plenty of fans
As a matter of fact, the Marlins attendance went up this year. The rest of the league went down. (see USA Today article)http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2009-09-29-mlb-attendance_N.htm

The Marlins are up 9% over last year.
