Feel the Teal - The latest news, rumors, opinions and updates on the Marlins
It has literally been by the skin of their teeth that the Marlins are on a 4 game winning streak and sometimes, that's the way the game works. Previously they couldn't find a win, let alone a hole to shoot a ball through for a hit. Their 6 game losing streak was snapped with some heroics back in Miami and now it seems they are unstoppable away from the new digs and the Longball Lagoon. With a … [Read more...]
Appartently Josh Johnson has been dealing with a sore shoulder all season long. He reportedly has been able to get it loosened up enough during warmups to get into the games. Yet, is this a sign of trouble for the Marlins ace? An MRI revealed inflammation in the back of the shoulder. As of right now, the Marlins don't think the injury to be serious and will diagnose further after Johnson gets … [Read more...]
The Marlins were unable to get a win last night as the Phillies showed they are more than just a pitching rotation in coming back on the Marlins 3-0 lead to take the first game in the series. This means the Marlins will not be able to make up the 2 game lead the Phillies had, but a strong finish in this series by taking these next two games will help. There is more pub for the Fish, too, as … [Read more...]
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, Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez all play the game the right way. They have talent, they can hit. … [Read more...]
He's in his mid 40s, has an easy delivery and throws in the mid 80s. Not exactly the kind of pitcher you'd expect to dominate a team. And not just dominate, but ridiculously dominate. Jamie Moyer, apologies to Jeffery Loria, owns the Marlins. The Fish have just taken two games from the Phillies in this crucial road series just after getting swept by the Phillies. Something has got to give - how … [Read more...]
They left Miami looking like they were right where they wanted to be. Riding a thrilling win with back to back home runs from Dan Uggla and Cody Ross to beat the Cubs for the series win, the Marlins were looking like world beaters. Their next opponent, the Washington" Natinals" were the laughing stock of the league. Except the Nationals, as they are actually known, were playing some pretty good … [Read more...]
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 nephew, who is turning 9 this year, has never seen the NL win the midsummer classic. Maybe that is one of the reasons he's … [Read more...]
This recent set of games has been a reunion of sorts. Remember back in 2003 when the Marlins defeated the Yankee$ in 6 games to take the whole enchilada? That's ok, no one in the media seems to remember either - and why would they? There is no one left from that team that is still on the Marlins. Mike Lowell, Josh Beckett and Brad Penny (huh?) are now all on the Red Sox. We just ran into them … [Read more...]
According to the latest reports, it is looking like San Diego ace Jake Peavy is staying put in sunny southern California. There is a deal on the table from the White Sox to acquire the righty but rumors are Peavy wants to stay in the National League. Peavy, the 2007 Cy Young winner who turns 28 later this month, is being moved so the Padres can recoup financially. With 99 losses last year, … [Read more...]

Double J Astounds Yankees
Josh Johnson matched AJ Burnett pitch for pitch tonight in what shaped up to be an old-fashioned pitching duel. Of course, the story line was AJ returns to Miami (with Joe Girardi, of course) to face his former team. It is quite obvious that AJ never liked the front office here - much like his current manager - yet, that is beside the point. JJ got the win while only allowing run run in 7 … [Read more...]
