The Marlins are a disappointing 11-15. Boles said the ballpark issue has been a distraction for his players but hasn't affected their performance. Some players shrugged off the suggestion of any distraction. A new ballpark would open in 2005 at the earliest, and most of the current Marlins will likely be elsewhere by then. It's so far away, and this is a business.
Guys are in and out.
The player most likely to be affected by the ballpark decision is catcher Charles Johnson. I'm not worrying about that. I'm going to go out and have fun and do what I can to help this team win games and really not worry about that. St. Louis ace Darryl Kile's next start will be pushed back two days because of the postponement. It was the final night of the Cardinals' only scheduled visit to Miami.
