IS HUIZENGA'S SMILEY-ING FACE THE LOOK OF FRUSTRATION?

          Marlins Owner Wayne Huizenga, "apparently frustrated by
     club president Don Smiley's inability to complete his
     purchase of the team," said he is giving Smiley "a final
     deadline of two weeks to raise the money," according to
     Barry Jackson of the MIAMI HERALD.  Huizenga also said that
     he is "willing to consider offers that don't include
     Smiley."  Jackson reports that Smiley "is still short" of
     Huizenga's $169M asking price, and that as of last month,
     Smiley had only about $130M in "firm commitments."  If
     Smiley can reach $150-155M, "Huizenga probably would be
     willing to keep a minority stake" (MIAMI HERALD, 7/7).
