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 [...]

May 10, 2011 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season by jonnylons
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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

You would expect a team named after a fish to tread water and with a .5 game lead over the Phillies coming into last night’s mini series (not the kind you see on TV) with the Reds, that is what the Marlins did. They put off grabbing a win over the visiting squad until the 14th inning, despite several opportunities. [...]

Double J Astounds Yankees
June 20, 2009 in Commentary, Roster by jonnylons
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 [...]
