Sweep By The Bay?

While the discussion begins over whether rule changes should be made over what happened to Buster Posey last night, baseball continues to be played today, hopefully retribution-free.

It's the Marlins' last game in SanFran this year- it would've been fun if they were there on June 4 for Cody Ross Bobblehead Day. Anibal and Ryan Vogelsong start today.

Saturday With the Rays

It's an earlier 4:10 start for tonight's Super Saturday game, probably to make sure the Beach Boys don't play past their bedtime (it's been 45 years since Pet Sounds!) There'll be no Brian Wilson, but John Stamos will be reportedly performing with them.

As far as baseball is concerned, the 'perfectionist' Javier Vazquez is fated to start for the Fish. The Rays will put up David Price.

Ow!

Time for Javier to step it up a few (hundred) notches, as Josh was put on the DL today for shoulder inflammation - Jay Buente was called up to start Sunday.

Two-Fer Tonight

South Florida's war against Chicago is fought on two fronts tonight - Game 2 of the Heat-Bulls series in Chicago (on 790 AM in Miami), and the heroic struggle of the Fish against the Cubs (shuffled off again to 1080 AM). Cubs fans, as usual, are obsessively moaning about the past. Starting for them tonight will be Former Fish Ryan Dempster, while Current Fish Ricky Nolasco starts for the Marlins.

Sweep the Citi?

With Hanley now possibly getting batting tips from the Hopper, and insane man-babies roaming Citi Field, the Marlins attempt a mini-sweep of the Mets tonight. Ricky Nolasco and last-night's-Mets-almost-hero Jon Niese start. Josh seems okay.

SORTA: Game postponed till July 18 - Fish will fly in from Chicago for one game and then fly home, while the Mets just lose a day off in the middle of two home series.

May Mini-Series Week

This week showcases the scheduling monstrosities that were unthinkable before the guiding hand of Selig - two 2-game series in a row, and then a weekend of interleague play. Of the five NL East teams only the Mets do not have to travel to get from one two-game series to the other (and even their interleague weekend is just across town). That may give a little relief to a team who's probably wondering how they can pay David Wright's medical bills while trying to survive their heritage of financial insanity, having to cough up $1.2 mil yearly to Bobby Bo for the next quarter-century being one example.

The Mets, though, have won 7 of their last 10, and 14 of their last 22. The weather may not be helpful to the Mets this coming week however. Neither will Josh Johnson, starting tonight as is the Mets' Mike Pelfrey. Hanley will be batting second.

Woof Without a Roof

The Nats and Marlins start what's predicted to be a rainy weekend with a game at 1:05 today. Tillman, the "World's Fastest Skateboarding Bulldog", is scheduled to lead the parade for the first of three 'Pups in the Park' this season at Nats Park. On the diamond, Livan will push aside his alledged ties with a drug trafficker and concentrate on starting today for the Nats, while undistracted Anibal starts for the Fish. Cora replaces Desmond in the Nats' lineup.

Phillies For Three

First, though...Congrats to Gaby!

Blanton and Vazquez started already. Once again that other team in town has knocked the Marlins off their Miami radio home and onto 1080 AM.

De-sweep Mode

Many activities at the ballpark this Mother's Day. Kids get free Mike Stanton t-shirts, along with a home-run exhibition pre-game and a faith forum with Chris Coghlan post-game.

But the basic question remains, 'Can The Fish get out of their 3-game funk?'

Anibal against Livan today. I guess John Buck's got a replacement cup.
