As I passed it there seemed to be a last desperate gasp. We were rolling south towards bigger and better … [Read more...]

Meanwhile, the Marlins were closing out their 2011 season by losing to the Nationals in their last ever game at the cavernous Joe Robbie-turned-Sun … [Read more...]
Despite a three game losing streak, which was snapped by an 8-0 win that was a near no-hitter, the Marlins are off to their best start in franchise history. At 20-13, the Fish are off to play the division leaders, the Philadelphia Phillies, for a chance to gain ground on their two game lag behind the Phillies.

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.

De Aza never came … [Read more...]
The stocky 2nd baseman with Popeye forearms continues to impress with his power numbers.

The homer gave the Marlins a 2-1 lead on a rainy Tuesday night and also delighted the sparse crowd that attended. For Uggla, he becomes the fastest 2nd baseman … [Read more...]
That's right: history, baby, pure history. The Hall of Fame is calling and they want a piece of the Marlins 2008 infield. Why? 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 over that peak but are looking to shatter it now. Cantu, … [Read more...]
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.

Marlins Sweep DBacks
