August 20, 2010 in Regular Season, The Latest by jonnylons

And just like that, the Fish are hitting the ball again. At 61-60, they are also back over .500.

Sure, the Marlins aren’t going to make the playoffs but look at it this way, the Braves will and [...]

No Laughing Matter: Marlins Looking Listless

August 17, 2010 in Featured, Regular Season, Spotlight by jonnylons

So how do you respond after winning 4 games in a row? You lose 4 in a row. This team is just not ready to make a play for anything this season. The staff has been overturned, the roster churned, and now, the team seems to be flat. It isn’t like they don’t have exciting young players – Mike Stanton, [...]

Marlins Will Be Buyers

June 20, 2008 in Players by jonnylons

Expect the Marlins to be buyers this season before the July 31st trade deadline. Just don’t expect them to make any big moves. Jayson Stark even speculates that the Marlins will be buyers.
