Can I Undisown them?
Two things to discuss, both of them having to do with Hanley Ramirez and the Marlins agreeing to a long term contract. (Jesus, I almost wrote "K" instead of "Contract;" Law School has officially eaten my soul.)
First, the World Wide Leader's reporting of the story, at least on the website.
ORLANDO, Florida -- The Florida Marlins and shortstop Hanley RamÃrez agreed on a contract extension for six years and $70 million, according to a source who spoke with ESPNdeportes.com.
A couple of things:
Can't you just imagine John Kruk and Jason Stark yelling "THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!"
On to my second, more personal point. As has been alluded to by Msr. Micklewhite in this space, I am a Miami native. I love my hometown. There's nowhere else I'd rather be and I root for all the local teams. HOWEVER, I did disown the Marlins after the offseason trade of Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. In fact, I think I told someone that they were getting the Fredo Corleone treatment from me. (Oh shit! I've created an opportunity for an embed featuring two of my favorite things: The Godfather and Pre-Revolutionary Cuba!)
In any case, now that they've apparently signed Han Ram to a long-term deal that will take him up through his thirtieth birthday, does it make me a bandwagoner to jump back on? 'Cos honestly, if they are keepin' him around, I'm really happy. How happy? This happy:

A couple of things:
- Why is the dateline Orlando? Miami is about 200 miles/a four hour drive from there. Last I checked, the Marlins play in Miami and Orlando doesn't even have a major league club.
- I am VERY amused by the fact that the source chose to speak to ESPNdeportes and not an Official Language Speaker at the WWL. Despite rumors to the contrary, Miami IS in fact in the United States, and is not to Cuba what Taiwan is to the People's Republic of China. [Insert hacky but topical lead paint joke here.]
