For the 1000th time, Loria says Marlins will compete

The sun rises, Jeffrey Loria exudes confidence in his baseball team, the sun sets...

When asked Monday about the process to fix what ails the Marlins, Loria told the Miami Herald, "I don't think it’s going to take a long time at all."

Our official response:

My story notes that Loria has made confident predictions for his team in each of the past two seasons. When he stops being so optimistic, that will be news. For now, this is just a portrait of a man who needs to sell a bunch of 2013 season tickets but has received no help from his underperforming ballclub.
