Hammer Rehabs Last night for AA Carolina, Josh Willingham went 2-4 with 2 RBI and was hit by a pitch. Hopefully, it wasn't in the lower back.

Miller Masters Mariners; Josh Johnson Rehabs
June 17, 2008 By 1 Comment
When the season began, many were questioning the decision to drop him into the rotation. Now, it is looking like he belongs. Andrew Miller got his 5th win of the season while pitching his most gutsy against the Mariners last night. He pitched 7 innings only striking out 2, but he scattered 6 hits and allowed only 1 run. "I think I did a good job pitching the zone other than that (fourth) … [Read more...]
Noles’ Power Rankings Week 12
June 16, 2008 By 2 Comments
Ok, so I skipped a couple of weeks... sue me. 1. Boston Red Sox: By a nose, yet again. Yeah, Big Poopy is out, but obviously nobody told them, They are a proven team, and the Cubs are not. That, and their pitching rotation is better. All these guys have to do is stay healthy. 2. Chicago Cubs: I never would have thought it, but Sweet Lou really did turn things around at Wrigley. This is … [Read more...]

Nolasco Salvages Citrus Series for Marlins
June 15, 2008 By Leave a Comment
This was probably a weekend of the best professional baseball the state of Florida has seen in its short history represented in MLB. Both the Marlins and the Rays, no longer the Devil Rays as new ownership has looked to turn the franchise around (they are in the final stages of securing funding for a new stadium, by the way), possess some of the best records in all of baseball. Tampa Bay is … [Read more...]
Jacque Jones Sent Down – What This Means for Marlins
June 11, 2008 By 1 Comment
Not so fast, my friends. Yes, Jacque Jones was designated for assignment - which means every GM in baseball has already been alerted and he will be faced with a ticket to AAA Alburquerque. This does not mean, however, that the Marlins are going to call up Cameron Maybin. (See Cameron Maybin's stats.) Or at least it shouldn't mean that. The Marlins are genuinely excited about Maybin, but he … [Read more...]
Dan Uggla MVP? Marlins Take Another From Phillies With Uggla Grand Slam
June 11, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Bottom of the 9th, 1 out. Bases loaded and the game is tied. Dan Uggla at the plate - and with one swing it was over. The dust settled and the Marlins came out on top with another dramatic, walk off win. Last time it was Cody Ross against the Reds, this time it was a grand slam walk off from Dan Uggla who hit a no douber for his 19th on the year. Chase Utley may be the NL leader among 2B for … [Read more...]
Marlins Could Soon See Starting Pitching Help
June 10, 2008 By 1 Comment
They are sorely missed. The wins that were coming at the beginning of the season are starting to slip away here in the middle portion of baseball's marathon. Why? The reason is simple - when your starting pitching routinely fails to throw as many innings as your relievers, the game is going to turn upside down for you very quickly. Mark Hendrickson has seemed to fall back to earth with a short … [Read more...]
Ken Griffey Hits 600th
June 9, 2008 By Leave a Comment
The 6th player ever in Major League Baseball history to do it - and he did it Monday night at Dolphins Stadium as the Marlins were hosting the Reds. Ken Griffey Jr, who started his career in Seattle, watched his father play for the Reds during their heyday while growing up. Now, he has helped create a bit of Reds history himself, hitting his 600th home run 413 feet into the right field seats. … [Read more...]
Cody Ross Hits Walk Off; Ex-Reds Sting Reds
June 8, 2008 By Leave a Comment
What a dramatic win for the Florida Marlins. Lost in their worst stretch of baseball this season, the Marlins were looking at yet another blown game. They had a 4-0 lead and watched it whither away. They took a 5-4 lead and watch that turn into a 7-6 deficit heading into the bottom of the 9th. But with 2 outs, Cody Ross came to the plate and blasted a home run to right center and the crowd … [Read more...]
