Well, we couldn't be knee deep in hurricane season without talking about disaster relief. He in south Florida, if you are going to talk about the subject, you might not hear anyone refer to hurricane Gustav but rather hurricane Gregg. Kevin Gregg is almost single-handedly crumbling up Marlin wins that would keep them alive in the pennant race. "I'm killing the guys right now. They're playing … [Read more...]

You are dead to me. Seriously, Fredi, he needs to be demoted from the closer job. Enough is enough. That Beltran grand slam was the final nail in the coffin for our season. Hopefully, Beinfest will have the good sense to trade him in the offseason. … [Read more...]

Now thats how you start a road trip. Last night, Ricky Nolasco pitched a complete game shutout, the first for a Marlin starter in 301 attempts, a Major League record. Ricky only gave up two hits (should have been just one, but who cares) and struck out 10 batters on a chilly August night in San Francisco. Ricky had all of his pitches working for him last night, leaving the Giants batters … [Read more...]
Tonight vs. Chicago: A MUST WIN
August 16, 2008 By Leave a Comment
The Marlins are dangerously close to falling out of contention. We are now 3.5 back, and if the Mets win tonight and we lose we are looking at a 4.5 game deficit and only two games over .500. This is the biggest game of the season, and probably the most important start of Annibal Sanchez's young career. This is when the true contenders step up. So, if you don't have any plans for tonight, … [Read more...]

I mean, who wouldn't want to live this kind of lifestyle? You are a catcher for the Florida Marlins: sometimes you start, sometimes you don't. But everyone in the clubhouse respects you and looks to you as a team leader. Your team is surprising a lot of people in the game and you are pushing for the playoffs. Your paycheck, too, isn't all that bad. Oh, and your wife happens to be the winningest … [Read more...]

Lots of movers due to the trade deadline... and the fact that I haven't done this in a while. 1. LA Angels- Just picked up Big Tex from Atlanta to fix their only weakness. This team is scary good, and now they may just be the team to beat in the AL. 2. Chicago Cubs- I hate him, but I do hope Mark Cuban does buy the team... he could be great for baseball. 3. Tampa Bay Rays- If these guys … [Read more...]

Marlins Getting Out of Town at the Right Time
Another series loss against a quality opponent and the Marlins are leaving town. With Fay bearing down on south Florida, there seems like no better time than now for the Fish to get out of the water. The series loss to the Cubs crippled the Marlins a bit as they fell further back into the depths of the NL East now trailing 4.5 games in back of the re-surging Mets. Sporting a record that is just … [Read more...]
