Nolesmarlins’ Power Rankings

July 22, 2007 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

Imagine how good the Marlins rotation would be if we still had Penny and Beckett.1. Detroit: Just disgusting. Kicking a$$ and taking names. The Tigers are a winning machine.

Scott Olsen is now officially a train wreck. Sure, you got the whole fighting/tantrum thing and most of us, including yours truly, has written it off as simply Scottie O being an intense competitor.

July 5, 2007 in Injuries by jonnylons

Double J has been stashed on the 15 DL but there are discrepancies as to how long he will actually be out. That is a good thing. Johnson has been out for most of the season already, including spring training, and is finally starting to get his game back together when he was hit with a nagging injury. Stiffness in [...]
