Kevin Gregg won’t be available tonight because he has a sore right knee. Now, I know what you are thinking and so am I – perfect timing, right? Well, now who closes…Lindstrom or Nelson?

Yes, Kevin Gregg Should Not Close Ever Again

August 30, 2008 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

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 [...]

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.

Streak BROKEN

August 20, 2008 in Uncategorized by nolesmarlins

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 [...]

Marlins Getting Out of Town at the Right Time

August 18, 2008 in Bullpen, Commentary by jonnylons

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 [...]

Tonight vs. Chicago: A MUST WIN

August 16, 2008 in Uncategorized by nolesmarlins

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 [...]

Billy the Marlin has been nominated for the Mascot Hall of Fame, and needs your support! Of all the changes that have occured during the 16 seasons that the Marlins have been in the majors, only two constants have remained: Dolphin Stadium and Billy the Marlin.

Matt Treanor: Pimp

August 10, 2008 in Uncategorized by jonnylons

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, [...]

Power Ranks

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 [...]
