I think this maybe the last unemployment Monday but I'm not sure.
One less thing to note - Penny's going to San Francisco.
The new stadium will be specifically designed for people with exuberant asses.
The real news of the day splits off between Coghlan's and Hanley's accomplishments and the tense importance of this series.
Both the Fish and Braves have 32 games left, both are 3.5 games behind in the WC, and yet according to coolstandings.com, the Fish have now only a 5.4 percent hance of making the playoffs; the Braves chances are now 14.4 percent. Those last series must have something to do with it.
Tonight it's Josh and Kenshin on the mound.
Both Florida and Atlanta have lost their last three August 31st games.

UH-MAKIN-IT-INTERESTING: Fish lose 5-1. (OOPS, Sorry, that's 5-2).

Turn-It-Around Game?
Chris and Gaby go back down, and Luis and Tim come back up. For the Pads, Kyle Blanks waited until after he hit a two-run homer against the Marlins to re-injure his foot and is day-to-day.
Ricky Nolasco and the artistically-named Wade LeBlanc start tonight.
The Marlins are on a 2-game losing streak in August 29th games (they're 5-5 in their last 10). The Padres have lost last year but are 4-2 in their last 6 August 29th games.

The Padres Arrive to Face Hanley
Ethan J. Skolnick details how amazing Hanley's year has been...
"Ramirez hits day (.378) or night (.361), home (.350) or away (.384), against lefties (.313) or against righties (.386). He hits with nobody on (.359) or runners aboard (.373). Most ridiculous? He hits .457 with runners in scoring position and two out, when a lazy fly ball counts against him, not as a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That's the most pressurized situation in the sport. That's money time. That's the equivalent of Wade sinking virtually every game-winning shot, or Pennington tossing touchdowns on virtually every red zone trip."
Kevin Correia and Chris Coghlan will try to fend off the opposing teams tonight.
In August 28th games both the Padres and Marlins have won 5 of their last 8, including 2 of their last 3.

Bo Porter To Manage 'Marlins'
Boy, that headline's a stretch. Here's what it really means - Bo is set to be the manager of an Arizona Fall League team that will have many players from the Fort Myers Miracle, which used to be the Miami Marlins over 20 years ago. There, that's straightened out. (oursportscentral)
Sweep?????
An afternoon game is scheduled for today to finish off the series, although there is a report, from a news source once trusted in China, that the Mets' season may miraculously already be over.
If that's not the case, Tim Redding and Anibal Sanchez will take the mound, as the Fish try to sweep the Mets for the first time in almost 5 years.
In August 27th games Florida has won 4 of their last 5, while the Mets are 4-4 in their last 8, and both teams are on a 1-game winning streak.
(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)
FLARG!: Not only did Anibal have troubles and the fielding allowed five runs to score, but Kiko gives up his first home run since June 17, 2007Chris' and Danny's homers were the only scoring - Fish lose 10-3.

Nick goes on the DL, Brett gets recalled, and Baker's back's sore.
Josh Johnson and Mike Pelfrey start tonight. Mets fans, who lost Johan for the year yesterday, and are seeing the uneven Oliver Perez go down today, may be watching the game just to see if Pelfrey gets hit by a meteorite or something.
Both the Mets and Marlins lost their last two August 26th games after winning the previous two.

Don't Naturally Fall Into A State of Complacency, Marlins!
Just because Johan's out for the season, Francouer's thumb is on the bum, and the Mets actually traded Billy Wagner doesn't mean the rest of the team won't be gunning for Fish blood tonight. The Marlins went from 2 games back in the Wild Card race last week to 5.5 back now. Even with disaster all around them, the Mets can't be considered pushovers.
Replacing Santana tonight will be Nelson Figueroa. Sean West starts for the Fish.
The Mets have won their last two, and three of their last four, August 25th games. The Marlins lost their last August 25th game after winning the previous two.

40 Games to Go
More History
'plunkeveryone' posting on FishStripes reveals that the Marlins will be suffering the 1,000th HBP in their history sometime soon. He then lists the amount of times different teams have plunked Marlins players, which showed me two things. First, that the Cubs and Astros hit our players more often than one team that's in the Marlins' own division (thank you, Braves). Second, that the Rays (who started 5 years after the Marlins) have wallopped the Fish more often than 7 National League teams (7.7 if you count the Brewers).

Showdown in Atlanta
The Fish return to Turner Field for the first time since April 14-16, when they swept three games from the Braves (the Fish are 2-3 at home against Atlanta).
Anibal returns to start tonight (and Cristian was sent down, sparking some heated comments in this blog post). Javier Vazquez starts for Atlanta.
Florida and Atlanta have the same win-loss record, 4 games back in the Wild Card race with 41 games to go.
The similarity streak continues: in August 21st games both the Marlins and Braves have lost their last two after winning their previous two.

Bounce-Back Rubber Game
(EDITED) The Marlins tonight will try to improve their all-time record in games played in major-league parks named for citrus juice to 24-32, and will try to win its first series in Minute Maid since 2004.
Watch out! It's Josh Johnson and Wandy Rodriguez on the mound.
Continuing and expanding the similarity strain started on August 19, the Marlins and Astros in August 20 games have had the exact same win-loss record for the past 6 years - 1-5, with the one win in 2006.

The Rest of The Way
From the top 5 NL Wild Card contenders here are their combined 2009 win-loss records so far against the teams they will be facing for the rest of the season - Colorado 35-27; San Francisco 29-28; Florida 33-21; Atlanta 30-26; Chicago 47-36.
The Cubs will play 12 teams to finish up the regular season, including all their games against the Mets and a make-up game with the White Sox. The Rockies will play 9 teams - the Marlins, Braves and Giants each play 8.
For the last series of the season for these 5 teams, only Atlanta will play a team that they now have a winning record against (Washington, 7-4) - Florida will play Philly (5-7), the Giants play San Diego (5-7), the Cubs play Arizona (1-2), and the poor Rocks face the Dodgers (2-10).

Sunday Two-fer
Two games today, so you have twice the opportunity to avoid going to the stadium. The weather's much better, rain-wise, so both games should be played. If the Marlins win both games and San Francisco loses then they will be tied with the Rocks for the Wild Card lead. If they go 1-1 they'll stay 2 games back. Or if the Fish lose both games then they will be 4 games back (EWWWWW!).
Cook-Volstad for Game 1, De La Rosa-VandenHurk for Game 2.
In August 16th games the Marlins have a record of 2-2 in their last four (which followed a 3-game win streak), while the Rockies won last year after losing 6 in a row.

Macho Macho Men
The Village People are the Super Saturday entertainers tonight. And probably there'll be more of the bush-league, 'tasteless' antics that riled up Pinella last night.
The Marlins lost last year after winning 3 August 1st games in a row. The Cubs lost last year after winning 5 August 1st games in a row.
Its Zambrano verses the Hopper. This guy thinks the game will go over.

Nick Under the Wire
The Marlins get Nick Johnson for Aaron Thompson, and have DFA'ed Andy Gonzales.
Leslie Monteiro thinks its a good move.
Most stories have Johnson displacing Bonifacio, but Craig thinks it's Coghlan who will be benched.
Lindstrom also returns, and going down to AAA is Brett (darn) and Gaby (he was still here?).
