He's on fire. Anibal Sanchez now has a 3-0 record with a 1.83 ERA in his last six starts, including a 1-0 result this afternoon in Washington. Sanchez was spectacular, striking out 9, and helping push his team forward with another win over their cheeky NL East rivals. Meanwhile the Braves, who had been silently climbing up to meet the Marlins, lost today. The lone run on offense in this game … [Read more...]
Omar Infante’s Slide Saves Fish
May 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Should you take the blue pill or the red pill? Omar Infante obviously was channeling Neo from the Matrix as he slid into home last night during the 11th inning. His acrobatic move gave the Marlins the go ahead run. It was also the 7th win in a row for the Marlins over the Nats in Washington. The Fish were looking for vengeance, dropping two of three against the Nats while on their homestand back … [Read more...]
Pancakes Power Sanchez’s Win
May 8, 2011 By Leave a Comment
The Marlins were a hot teaming coming into this series but struggled with their pitching and lost two games in a row to a team they normally play big brother over. Who knew it was Anibal Sanchez's mother that would provide the fuel for a near no-hitter as his son took the mound this afternoon. Sanchez struck out 11 batters as the Fish avoided the sweep and took the third game in what was a … [Read more...]
Nyjer Morgan is a Douche: Fallout From Roid Rage
September 3, 2010 By 1 Comment
Clearly, the guy is not using steroids but also it is clear the guy is off his meds. I didn't cover the "brawl" because, well, everyone else did. No reason to jump into the muck and the mire. Besides, as noted elsewhere, Nyjer Morgan has a recent history of problems. He is showing off, trying to get attention. No need to give him any more. Besides, he's just a douche. Can't play a lick, so what … [Read more...]
Marlins Sweep Nationals and He Shall Livan
August 12, 2010 By Leave a Comment
It was a strange night where the Fish couldn't seem to avoid a rain delay - in another part of the country. There was a void at Nationals Park, too. (Both elements must have made the Marlins feel like they were at home.) There was a late night, a triple turned into a home run, and an oversized ginger kid wearing a tight Elmo shirt. No one took the bait on that one, but it does beg, should anyone … [Read more...]
Marlins Losing Ground; Could Shift to Division Be The Way?
September 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment
No matter how many games the Marlins win, it just seems like the Rockies mirror them. When the Marlins lose, that's when the Rockies let up and lose. It is a shell game right now for the NL Wildcard. The Marlins sit 5 games out and have the San Francisco Giants merged between them and the leading Rockies. Is this still a realistic possibility? There are 26 games left for the Fish. That means … [Read more...]
Mrlns Kick off Phillies Series
August 7, 2009 By Leave a Comment
So the Mrlns have a big series staring them in the face. Hey, you expected the Mrlns to do anything easy? C'mon! The Mrlns role into Philly looking to make up for that sweep that they got handed to them by the all-powerful Nationals. You may be wondering why I am mispelling the Mrlins, well, I'm not. You see, they lost their vowels in that series against the Nationals. The Natty Lights, as I … [Read more...]
Cold Water: Fish Failing in DC
August 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment
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...]

Marlins Off to 3-0 Start, Par for the Course
Look, I love the Marlins as much as any fan of the team, but I am holding them to a higher level of expectation this year. Sure, the pundits are consistently picking the Marlins to - yet again - finish at the bottom of the barrel and they aren't exactly blazing up the highlight reel at ESPN. But isn't that the normal level of expectation for this team from the national perspective? It is as if … [Read more...]
