Welcome to the Clumps

The Marlins welcome the Cardinals to freshly-destroyed-by-pre-season-football Dolphin Stadium. This year adds the new tradition of the UM Hurricanes to assist the Dolphins in wrecking the outfield.

The Cards are 3 games in back of the Brewers in the NL Wild Card race, while the Fish are 5 back.

Anibal Sanchez and Joel Pineiro are scheduled to start the first game of the four-game series. (MLB)

The only previous time the Fish and Redbirds played on a August 11 was a 1-0 Marlins loss in 2004. In their last 6 August 11 games Florida is 2-4 while the Cards are 4-2. St. Louis is also 4-2 in Monday away games this year, while the Marlins in 2008 are 2-3 in Monday home contests. Get the chants going.

SPLAT: Fish lose 4-2. Mets also lose and Philly plays late.

UPDATE: Philly loses too.
