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 [...]

August 9, 2009 in Philadelphia Phillies Rivalry, Regular Season by jonnylons
They left Washington, DC in a cloud of embarassment, frustration, and confusion. They left Philadelphia booming with confidence and sensing the urgency of the playoff push upon them – with great promise. How can a team turn things around so quickly, so suddenly? That is baseball, and in a marathon season like this, it is a series, not a game, [...]

Fish no more. Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis are no longer Marlins. Arguably one of the best hitters of his generation, Miguel Cabrera was working real hard on getting back into shape when the deal was made. As for Dontrelle, he was on vacation in Mexico when he got the news. Neither player netted a familiar name in return, which [...]

Miguel Cabrera, who Marlins fans hoped to be the face of the franchise for a long time, is still being shopped around. Those who want to see him stay can continue to pray; those who want to land him on their team must also continue to prey. And the bidding is getting intense. The Marlins front office, charged with some [...]

August 4, 2007 in Coaching Staff, Commentary by jonnylons
Seems like it is over too quickly for the Marlins this season. Suffering injuries to 3/5ths of their stellar starting staff from last season hasn’t been kind either. Then again, neither has this coaching staff. Incidentally, they may all get an incomplete considering the injuries to this team but make no mistake, the Marlins have taken a big step backwards [...]

Still 7.5 games back of the NL East lead, but the Marlins are looking better these days taking two straight against the Washington Nationals. And it couldn’t come at a better time. With David “Little Napoleon” Samson mouthing off over the Ichiro extension, the Marlins need to make some noise of their own – and for the positive. Still, climbing [...]

How Miguel Maximizes his Talents and the Marlins Ensure Their Future The answer seems so obvious now: Ozzie Guillen. He was the perfect third base coach when he was with the Marlins and his shadow still lingers. He is irreplaceable. Jeff Cox, Jerry Porter – both these men have tried to simulate in some way Guillen’s aggressiveness only to discover [...]

You mean Miguel Cabrera has put on weight? And this is a problem? This is how out of touch the South Florida media is with the Marlins – they are all a-flutter about Miguel’s weight. He signed the big contract, and decided to cash in at the grocery store and is putting on weight as a result. The apparent ballooning [...]

The Marlins did it again, scoring 9 runs against the Washington Nationals, to take the second game of the series. The Marlins will go for the sweep at 1:05pm tomorrow, on FSN. Miguel Cabrera is continuing his early season tear – after 2 games he is hitting .714 with 5 RBIs. Where is Chris Berman to do his ridiculous season [...]

Cabrera Leaving? ARod Returning?
November 11, 2007 in Commentary, Players, Rumors by jonnylons
Right now, we should be asking ourselves, is it really in the best interest of the Florida Marlins to trade Miguel Cabrera? How is the franchise with the lowest turnout and impending stadium issues going to communicate that it is here for the long haul? By trading Cabrera? The obvious answer is no. But if the scenario is painted correctly, [...]
