MilkGate – enough

August 30, 2005 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

Hey Brad Penny, David J. Neal (what does the “j” stand for anyway?), ESPN and others in the media – give it up. Stop trying to pick on the Marlins because, well, you all dont have any sense anyway. Brad Penny, the fat and lazy Penny that couldn’t seem to grasp the fact that it takes more than a good [...]

Marlins are the most dangerous team in Wild Card race

August 29, 2005 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

I am tired of the media droll. There doesn’t seem to be anyone in print, on TV, or stuck inside my radio that thinks the Marlins are capable. And that is fine, because I wasn’t entirely sure myself. Not entirely sure that they would actually do it, not that they were incapable. Because, this team has all the weapons to [...]

With the win against the Padres, the Marlins closed out the series with the ‘daddies’ by taking it 2-1.

Tonight the Marlins open their road series against one of the best teams in all of baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals. For the Marlins, who are starting to get hot, this will be an obvious test and will go a long way to gauging where they are at this point. As the Braves continue to gump their way ahead in [...]

August 1, 2005 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

The Marlins made a move to bolster their bullpen Sunday by acquiring bullpen workhorse Ron Villone from the Seattle Mariners. Villone is 2-3 with a 2.45 ERA and 41K’s in 40.1IP. The Marlins sent Yorman Bazardo, a highly regarded relief prospect within the Marlins organization, and Mike Flannery to the Mariners. Bazardo, however, has been disappointing at the big league [...]
