Brian Sabean Is an Idiot

Really? You don't even play on the field and you are going to make a punk statement like that? Brian Sabean, apparently drinking from the same punch bowl as Barry Bonds, seems to be incapable of masking his rage.

Scott Cousins Was Just Doing His Job

Injuries happen. This is why there are insurance policies and why nothing is guaranteed in sports. No win is guaranteed, and no career is. Scott Cousin's slide into home that busted up Buster Posey is a part of the game. It was a hard slide, but because the rules call for a tag to be placed on the runner, who is not forced to run, the runner has the right to avoid the tag. If he can slide … [Read more...]

In a freak accident in Pittsburgh, Ricky Nolasco apparently tore his medial meniscus in his right knee. The results of the testing are still being examined, but signs point to shutting down Nolasco for the remainder of the season. The Marlins are not in contention, so they are not in need of having Nolasco out there and wouldn't want him to risk further injury with little upside. That said, the … [Read more...]

Badenhop to DL; Tim Wood Recalled

The Marlins placed Burke Badenhop on the 15 day DL with a "neck strain" or officially a strain of the right trapezius muscle. Might have something to do with giving up 6 runs yesterday, maybe watching  all those hits go on by? Just kidding - we love the Hopper and need him back asap. In order to counter the injury, the Marlins recalled Tim Wood from AAA New Orleans. Rated the 17th best … [Read more...]
