"....creating the greatest moment in Marlins history."

Jesus, guys, come on! I see you got left at the station when the Evolution Train pulled out. This shit is so blindingly rock-stupid, your own greasy hand would reject you. Why the hell would you think it would be anything remotely approximating 'clever'?
