Mike Stanton's 10th inning grand slam was enough to lift the Marlins over the Mets last night but it was not good enough to get them onto the front page of the Herald's Sports section. That page was reserved for a story about a former Dolphin returning to the team, a story about the Dolphins offensive line, a column about the Dolphins, and a story about an upcoming exhibition soccer match.
Speaking of exhibition games, the Dolphins haven't even started theirs. They're practically blanketing the front page of Sports and they've only started practicing.
Granted, the Marlins are 15 games out of first place. But you have to wonder how much closer they'd be if they got some support from hometown fans and local media. It must be frustrating to be in the middle of your season and to watch a team in training get all the headlines.
The Marlins may have gotten a new stadium, but respect is still a long ways off.
