The Marlins need to win all 4 games against the Pirates to finish with a .500 record. The Pirates, if they lose all 4 games, will break the record for fewest road wins in an 81-road-game season. Pittsburgh has had only one win in each of their last three road trips, and they won two nights ago in St. Louis. This year, in road games played from Thursdays through Sundays, the Pirates have a record of 5-39 (and four of those wins happened before May 16). The Fish won 3-out-of-4 in Pittsburgh on August 16-19.
Starters: The last time Chris Volstad lost was in Pittsburgh on August 16. He has never won against the Pirates, but Zach Duke has never won against the Marlins.

Afternoon De-Sweeping
The Atlanta paper's calling today "the year¹s biggest game" (good, let them put pressure on themselves).
The 2010 Braves may be 8-3 in Wednesday home games, but the 2010 Marlins are a respectable 7-4 in Wednesday away games. Florida puts the magical Miller on the mound, while Atlanta drags out the short-rested Derek Lowe.

The Braves this year in Tuesday home games, after winning their first three, have since then gone 3-4. The Marlins are 4-6 in Tuesday road games in 2010, and have lost their last two. The Fish have to go 4-2 to end the season at .500.

Cox's Last Stand
The Marlins start their final road series of this season tonight at Turner Field, where they are 2-4 so far this year. Atlanta returns home after losing 5 of their last 6 games - the Braves went 3-4 in their last home stand. And yet in Monday home games this year the Braves are 7-1, and have won their last six (they haven't lost one since May 17). The Marlins this year are 4-3 in Monday away games.

Grab a Beer
The Marlins start their last road trip of the year with a four-gamer in Milwaukee. This is also the Brewers' last home series of the year - they're off to New York and Cincy after Sunday. The Brewers have a home record of 37-40 - this year they are 13-12 in first games of home series, but have lost their last three. The 2010 Brewers are 9-19 in four-game series.
The Marlins won 3 of 4 from Milwaukee in Miami earlier this year. This year they are 13-11 in first games of away series, but have won their last three. The 2010 Fish are 38-36 on the road, and are 20-12 in four-game series.
Anibal Sanchez and Yovani Gallardo start tonight.

With all the crazy calamities this season, from Coghlan's celebration injury to what happened to Tyler Colvin yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if flaming meteorites come crashing down on the field today.
The Cards flew in all the way from San Diego (WRONG: from St. Louis) to play this game, and they'll be flying to Pittsburgh afterwards. They won 3 out of 4 from the Pads, after also being swept by the Cubs.

Choices
If you're not in the mood to peruse "anticlimactic" games in a "funereal baseball atmosphere", why not listen to Game 3 of the Southern League Championship between the Jacksonville Suns and the Tennesee Smokies?
Or, for those holding on to faint glimmers of hope, it's tonight's game between the Cubs and Marlins.
The Cubs are 8-15 in first games of road series this year, but they've won 3 of their last 4. After Pinella left the team the Cubs have a record of "14-7 and 9-3 on the road" and are 5-1 on this road trip. Last year in Miami Gardens they won 3 out of 4 games. Former Fish Ryan Dempster starts tonight after making some history of his own, in his last start becoming the 4th Canadian to have achieved 100 MLB wins.
Starting for the Marlins will be the returning fighter Alex Sanabia.

Adios Phillies
The Phillies go away after tonight's game - the Marlins won't have to play them again until the playoffs (back reality, back).
In 2010 the Phils are 6-5 in Wednesday away games. In road series finales they are 14-8 and have won their last 8 (that includes a makeup game with the Rockies). The Marlins are 14-7 in series finales in Some Life Stadium this year, but are 3-7 in Wednesday home games (they won 2 of their last 3 though).
Roy Halladay may make it past six innings tonight. Jorge Sosa will head the conga line of Marlins relievers expected to be summoned.

It's Marlins game #140 - if the 10-game cycle means anything the Marlins are going into their best 3-game stretch of the cycle.

The Marlins are on a 3-game home win streak and the Braves are on a 4-game road losing streak. The last time the Marlins lost a Saturday home game, and the last time the Braves won a Saturday road game, was here in Miami on July 24.
Anyone taking seriously the ten-game cycle investigation I put out here a couple of days ago may be concerned that today is Game No. 134 for the Fish and that they are 4-9 in games whose numbers end in 4 this year. But I counted up the Braves games too - today is Game No. 136 for the Braves, and they too are 4-9 in games whose number end in 6. Here's the whole list for the Braves, if you're interested...
