Some Stories

So much for giddy optimism: Ben Pritchett asks and answers 5 questions about the Marlins, and concludes that they will finish last in the NL East.

But there's one less thing to worry about: David Hill reports that the Marlins aren't a contraction target anymore

Jonathan Sumple of throughthefencebaseball.com gives us Part 1 of an interview with Juan C. Rodriguez that explores what it's like to be a beat reporter.

More Bloggage

It's the time of year for new blogs about, or around, or slightly mentioning, the Marlins.

First, a hat tip to Craig for finding a Zephyrs blog, called Catching Z's.

Another hat tip to Marlins Die-hards for linking to the often-times outrageous Strip Club With Stanton. The coverage of FanFest is in itself worth the price of admission.

And now two more from the MLBlogs domain - there's the recently reignited Never A Flamingo, Always A Marlin, and then a blog with only one post so far called Fish Sticks.

MORE: I've added the Florida Marlins Team Fan Blog to my roll. Yeah, it has that automated-advertising look to it, but some of its randomized-text postings makes more sense than the things I write.

New News

Jeffrey seems a little pissed off, as everyone's losing all around him - not only have the Marlins lost nine straight, but his buddy Mayor Alvarez is now an ex-Mayor as he gets resoundingly booted out for, among other things, supporting the unbalanced Marlins stadium deal.

The Fish and Cards agree to do their springs in Jupiter until 2027 (unless the Nats or Mets move away, that is).

Michael Jong wonders how effective Perry Hill's gimmicks actually are in improving defense, while Clark Spencer just hopes our outfielders won't run into each other.

But there's no need to worry as Bart Gadbury says the Marlins will win the World Series this year anyway.

Craig reports on the Marlins' latest cuts, and how, at the moment, it's impossible to get a ticket to the Seattle series.

Today's game against the Cardinals is on the radio.

GOOD-NEWS: Marlins win today 5-2.
