The Marlins said the MRI confirmed his sprain and that Ramirez remains “day-to-day.” McKeon said he thinks Ramirez will be able to return in time this weekend to [...]

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. “This sets the [...]

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, [...]

It literally started with a bang. Hanley Ramirez blasted a home run to give the Fish the kind of start they needed to snap their now 5 game losing streak. It was also just the sort of thing Hanley needed to get something going this month after a dismal July. What nestled in between was a pitcher’s duel. Josh Johnson [...]

It’s been an amazing month for the Marlins offense. From matching a streak of 10 or more hits in 15 straight games – a feat unseen since the 1920′s (and for that matter, never seen on TV) to watching some amazing individual performances. Chris Coghlan and Hanley Ramirez just became the first two Marlins since 2006 to combine for 80 [...]

In the bottom of the 3rd, with a 6-1 deficit and no outs, Hanley Ramirez took a fastball off the knee from “Crazy” Carlos Zambrano which sent him to the ground writhing in pain. Hanley continued to play, but it was a situation that still needed to be examined carefully, and Emilio Bonifacio replaced Hanley. “I think it might be [...]

Nick Johnson will arrive in the lineup tonight and it will signify big changes for the Marlins. How long those changes stay in effect is the debate. Johnson will bat 2nd in the lineup, according to reports. His high on base percentage (.408) will give Hanley Ramirez plenty of chances to drive in more runs. This is a great thing [...]

Bob Davidson got it flat wrong. Jeff Weaver was on the mound, faced with relieving the Dodgers in a game where the Marlins had a 8-0 lead. There was also two outs and no one on base. Hanley Ramirez stepped into the batter’s box to take a swing at some pitches – but Weaver had other plans. He threw the [...]

It’s been a long time – in fact, I am sure there must be a country song written about it. The last time the NL beat the AL was 1996. A lot has changed since then. The internet has taken over our lives – like this blog has taken over mine – and the Marlins have won 2 titles. My [...]

Marlins had good run
September 27, 2009 in Commentary by jonnylons
Well, despite their best efforts the Fish were not able to pull off a stop into the post season. The Rockies got hot, the pitching grew cold. All in all, the Marlins put together a winning season, which is a great achievement for this franchise considering most did not give them a chance to compete. Instead of the Marlins in [...]
