I assume you guys figured out by now that I’m going to be doing these things pretty sporadically. However, I promise to try to update at least once every two weeks. They say the standings start to become significant after Memorial Day… so those teams that find themselves several games back should start to get worried. 1. NY Mets: Just [...]

May 25, 2007 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry by jonnylons
I became a Marlins fan in 2001. I had followed the team prior to that, but just here and there, nothing really serious. But then something happened, the Marlins had just fired John Boles and replaced him with Tony Perez and had a little run going. It looked like the Marlins were going to come out of the mediocrity that [...]

1. Boston: Lose Beckett to the DL and they don’t even miss a beat. Mikey Lowell is playing like the Lowell of 2003. 2. Queens: Big series win against the Yankees, especially for David Wright. He is back in a big way, but it would still be totally bogus if he, or any other NL 3rd basemen for that matter, [...]

Proof there is a God, and He’s a Marlin fan On Sunday, the Marlins somehow convinced the Rockies that Jorge Julio was more valuable than Byung Hyun Kim. Kim has been injured all season; Julio would have been better off on the DL. Now, Julio will take his 12.54 ERA to Colorado where he figures to turn things around. “I’m [...]

This has been an exciting first month of the season to say the least. Surprises: the Brewers with the best record in baseball, Josh Hamilton’s comeback, the return of the Braves led by Tim Hudson, ARod is absolutely killing the ball, Josh Beckett’s rediscovered poise, John Maine, and the Marlins’ offense. Disappointments include: Philly’s start, the Yankees’ rotation, the Marlins’ [...]

The Marlins are 3-2 on this current road trip, going up against their division rivals the Phillies and Mets during this stretch. The Marlins have shown that [...]

1. Boston: This looks like the best Red Sox team yet. Their rotation potentially has both of this years AL Cy Young and ROY award winners. 2. Atlanta: Just took over first place in the NL East tonight. If the Braves happen to go on a long winning streak any time soon this division race might be all but over [...]

Do Marlins Have to Cut Down on K’s?
May 3, 2007 in Commentary by jonnylons
The Marlins set a franchise record last season with strikeouts from their hitters – 1,249 to be exact. With 235 on the season, they are well on pace to exceed that mark. Yet, the offense is still producing. Kind of like a Rob Deer wet dream. The Marlins are #1 in the NL with runs scored (151) and tied for [...]
