Seems that the Marlins taking two from the Yankees is just a bit too much to bear. Joe Girardi and the Yankees officially filed a protest to dispute the outcome of the game on Sunday, FOX reports. Seems Fredi tricked himself with his moves: in the top of the 8th Chris Coghlan was slated to come out of LF for [...]

Because they are the first team ever to have their entire infield hit over 25 home runs each. And the season isn’t even over yet. Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez and Jorge Cantu have all climbed [...]

Well, I cam across this video that shows Steve Bartman being escorted out of the stadium on that fateful Fall evening back in 2003. httpv://youtube.com/watch?v=JoumAUfwnI8 It amazes me how the Cub fans – and players – [...]

Marlins Sweep DBacks
May 22, 2008 in Coaching Staff, Commentary, Marlins History, Media Coverage, Players, Relief Pitching, Starting Pitching by jonnylons
The score board read 4-0. Arizona fans must be dumbfounded because they were swept by what seem to think is their mirror image. What is more amazing, however, is the total transformation that Andrew Miller has undergone. Start calling it the Wiley-factor.
