Boston To Be New Marlins North?

This article claims a source at last week's meeting "suggested" that Josh's 14 losses last season has dropped his trade value. It also says the Red Sox are interested in Josh and former Marlin Ryan Dempster, while another article states they are also interested in former Marlin Anibal.

Tino!

Tino Martinez has been hired as the Marlins' hitting coach.

Past Pitcher Probables

Clay Hensley is now a free agent.

And Javy Vazquez may be coming out of retirement.

Post-Voting News Bits

Some people are blaming the long lines at Miami polling paces on the new Marlins stadium.

Yelich is looking good in the AFL..

And the general managers' meeting starts today in Palm Springs, CA.

A Couple of Things

Tony Perez's son, after getting bumped by the Marlins, makes it over to Houston with Bo Porter.

F.O. Gets To Business

The Fish decide to sign three more players to the organization.

Bye Bye Brett

On Friday the Marlins gained a former catcher but lost a current one, as Hayes is claimed by the Royals.

Next New Man at The Helm

The Fish get as close to an 'in-house guy as they could by hiring Mike Redmond as manager.

Four former Marlins managers (including Ozzie) approve of the choice.

Michael Jong compares Redmond to past Marlins managers to gauge how long he might stay in his new job.

Redmond's minor-league managing stats are impressive.

John Buck is excited (and not because of the nude batting practice).

Search For Tomorrow

The F.O., which has a uninspiring track record selecting managers and/or first-round picks, expands their managerial search by at least one after it shrunk by one earlier.

The Bell Tolls

Heath has been traded to Arizona for a minor league infielder the Snakes just got earlier in the day from Oakland.

Finalized Move

The Marlins have moved their NYPL affiliation from Jamestown to Batavia, home of Batavia Downs, the Town-N-Country Family Restaurant, and Settler's Diner out on the road to Leroy. I stayed in Batavia for 3 days last October and found the laundromats sufficiently useable. But I'll be missing AJ's Texas Hots in Jamestown.

Park Events

In an effort to get next season off to a more spiritually favorable start, tickets for the April visit by Joel Osteen to Marlins Park go on sale today (I'm guessing that's the best Jeffrey can do; the Pope is probably a Padres fan).

Tickets for the 'friendly' soccer match between Venezuela and Nigeria are on sale too. This is being promoted as the park's "very first non-baseball sporting event" - I bet a few of you have a problem with that statement, thinking some of the performances the Fish put on this year may not be considered 'baseball' in the pure sense of the term. Maybe it'll be fun just to see if there's a possible resurrection of the dreaded vuvuzuelas for this match, and whether their dulcet tones will shatter the picture-windows in left field.

The Championship Series start tonight in the AL with Detroit in the Bronx.

Marlins-Mets Mayhem

While Jeffrey dreams of Bobby V, the Marlins' current manager will be pondering how to insert Adam Greenberg into today's game.

Josh Johnson was supposed to start last night's game, but LeBlanc was given the ball instead. Jacob Turner probably gets the start tonight opposite the brutal knuckleball of R.A. Dickey.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

The Revolving Door Spins Again?

Jeffrey gets his post-modernist feathers all ruffled when he hears both Ozzie and Fredi comment about the way Loria deals with his managers.

Sweep Redux

The only team the Mets have swept in the last 3 months have been the Marlins, and they may do it again today. Nolasco and Young start.
(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Afternoon Game

Buerlhe and Dickey started. (Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

What He Said

So Jeffrey says he never comments on "any ridiculous and fabricated rumors", a statement which is in fact a comment on what he thinks about the rumors. Seeing that he fibbed when he commented on something he says he never comments on, then is it possible the ridiculous and fabricated rumors may be actually not so ridiculous and fabricated after all? Anyway, with that annoying pennant race out of the way, the Marlins can now concentrate on pummeling the Mets. Turner and Niese start tonight. (Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Flying To The Future

The Marlins travel to New York today, amid speculations and aggrevations and eulogies. While they settle in, here's today's scoreboards... (Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Bye Bye Beinfest?

Two supposedly in-the-know anonymous guys told USAToday's Bob Nightengale that Jeffrey will be firing Larry very soon, along with whoever else he deems had a hand in constructing the failed season.

Chipper Night at Marlins Park

LoMo's this year's Clemente nominee. Tonight's rubber game features Johnson and Medlen. (Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Marlins Beat Braves in 10th On Reyes Hit

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Fredi's Back

It's the NL East the rest of the way. Thorn-in-the-side Atlanta returns to town. The Fish are 3-9 against the Braves so far this year. Wade LeBlanc and Tim Hudson are scheduled to start.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Finishing Off The NL Central

Greensboro did not win the Championship.

Jose Reyes was unwittingly enshrined into baseball history last night.

With last night's win, the Fish will try to produce a sweeping action today. Recently powerful Ricky Nolasco and dangerous Mat Latos start.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Sat. With Cin.

Turner allowed only 2 hits on Friday, and the Fish hand the Reds their 3rd shutout of the year.

Tonight its Johnny Cueto vs. Mark Buehrle.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Friday on the Paths

Jupiter pooped out, but the Hoppers are still in the fight.

Much reflecting going on. The Marlins have to win all 18 games left in the season to finish at .500. Tonight it's the last NL team left to debut at Marlins Park, the red-hot Cincinatti Reds. Key West native Bronson Arroyo pitches tonight for the Reds, Jacob Turner for the Marlins.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

New Schedule Released

The reduction to irrelevance of the two seperate Major Leagues continues next year. In 2013 interleague games will be spread out throughout the schedule, as if the other league was just another division. The Marlins even finish the 2013 season against the Tigers. Michael Jong reviews the situation.

Today the Fish drag themselves back to Miami, where tomorrow they will play their last non-NL-East team this year. While we're waiting, here's today's games....

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

CBP 2012 Finale

Hats off to Ricky for achieving Co-Player of the Week status. Today, with the threat of a sweep looming, Josh Johnson and Cliff Lee do battle.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Hopping

The Marlins stay with Greensboro for another two years. The Hoppers start their Championship series against Asheville tonight. The Hammerheads need only one more win tonight or tomorrow to gain the FSL crown.

The Fish couldn't solve Kendrick last night. Tonight it's Eovaldi vs. Halladay.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Sliding Up to Philly

The Marlins have left the NL East leaders in the dust. It's time for their last trip this year to Citizens Bank Park. LeBlanc and Kendrick are to start.

In other news, the playoffs commence and continue.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

A Nice Cool Glass Eliminate

Now that the Fish don't have to worry about winning the division, and that Jose doesn't have to worry about getting the 'extra'-cycle, they can now concentrate on just winning today's game. It's Ricky Nolasco vs. Edwin Jackson in the rubber match.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Good Job

Now that the Marlins helped shut down Strasburg early, it's time to work on the other parts of their rotation. The next victim will be Ross Detwiler, opposed today by Mark Buehrle. No FSN telecast today, because it won't be pretty.

MORE FUN: The Grasshoppers advance to the Championships.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Rooting Interest

For those who like winners, the Grasshoppers are in the playoffs, and Hammerheads are playing for the Championship.

While Morrison and Oviedo are recovering, the Marlins are in D.C. to play their last 3 games against the Nats this year.

Strasburg will make his final home start of the season, but instead of Ricky, Jacob Turner will start for the Fish.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Tie Try

The Fish attempt to even out the series against Milwaukee today. Josh Johnson and Marco Estrada start.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Two Debut

Last night A.J. Ramos struck out the side in his Marlins debut - a Marlins first.

Tonight, opposing Nathan Eovaldi, Wily Peralta makes his MLB starting debut for the Brewers.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Game 2 With Brew Crew

The Marlins' six-man rotation starts today, with Wade LeBlanc opposing Shaun Marcum (who has never faced the Marlins in his career).

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Labor Day Game

The Brewers start off 4 games in Miami with Mike Fiers against Ricky Nolasco.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Salvage Operation

The 2012 Marlins already has the franchise record for suffering shut-outs. Today they try to squeeze out a win to avoid a sweep. Mark Buehrle and Chris Young start.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

In A Ballpark Far, Far Away...

The Phantom Menace play the Mets again tonight. And the Menace's sinister warlord will be figuring things out at a later time. Pitchers tonight are Josh Johnson and rookie Jeremy Hefner.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Eovaluation

Reports are Nathan Eovaldi is a bit behind Jacob Turner in the impressing-department, but he has a relative up north who's rooting for him. Today Eovaldi is flinging for the Fish. The Mets are here for the weekend, featuring the powerhouse knuckleball of R.A. Dickey flying off the mound tonight.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Breather

Today is the Marlins' last scheduled day off for this season that is not also a travel day. Sleep well, my friends - Ozzie wants you well for next year.

31 games to go. In the battle for anything-but-last place in the NL East the Marlins are 2.5 games behind the Mets and Phils. Those two losers play each other tonight.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Sweep Out The Nats?

Congrats to Ricky, who got a shutout against Strasburg and the Nats last night.

Obviously Marlins Park survived Tropical Storm Issac, though it makes me wonder what will happen if a real hurricane hits during a home stand.

Tonight the Nats play their last game in Marlins Park for this year. Pitching will be Jacob Turner and Ross Detwiler.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Back Home

Stanton was last week's NL Player of the Week.

26 of the Fish' remaining 33 games this season are against the other NL East teams (21 of the 33 are Marlin home games). Washington, 20 games ahead of Miami in the standings, play the Marlins in a 2-game series in Little Havana starting tonight. For the third time this year it's Strasburg vs. Nolasco.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Travel Day

Back to blustery Miami the team goes. Atlanta is the onlyNL East team playing tonight.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Success

No matter how today's game turns out, it finishes up a winning record of the Marlins over the NL West this year, a small plus in a disappointing season.

Buehrle and Harang do the tossing today. (Surprise: Harang has never faced the Marlins before EDIT: this year, that is).

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Two More Chances

Tonight on XM radio, another chance to hear Vin Scully describe the Marlins. Now that the big trade's complete, it's Kershaw and Johnson in the mound tonight.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Weekend in L.A.

While the former Marlins are enjoying their new lives, the present Marlins will play their last series this year against the NL West. Eovaldi pitches against his old team, while Billingsley pitches for Hanley's team.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Double-Headache

So now the Marlins won 4 of their last 7 games.

Jacob Turner will have another start. Boni gets another trip to the DL (Dan Jennings is called up). The Fish finish up on 'The Franchise'. And the team has a day off to get to L.A. The baseball world continues, though...


(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Amazing But True

Those of us on the East Coast turning off the game after Arizona's 5-run first inning missed a 6-5 Marlins win in the 10th.

The Fish have won 4 of their last 5 games.

Bonifacio's sore again. But Justin Upton's having problems too.

Today's the day of the afore-mentioned double-header, brought to you courtesy of the Basic Agreement. Arizona's starters should be Wade Miley, and the MLB debut of Tyler Skaggs. The Marlins will bring out Wade LeBlanc, and introduce Jacob Turner.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Rising From The Ashes

Last night the Marlins stamped out the Diamondbacks with 20 hits and 12 runs. Though the Fish won't be seen on 'The Franchise' past tonight's episode, all eyes will be watching to see Jacob Turner pitch in Wednesday's doubleheader. But there's still a single-header to get through tonight. Ricky Nolasco and Trevor Cahill start.

(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Hiss!

The Marlins go to Chase Field for 4 games, including the first-ever double-header at Chase Field on Wednesday. (Many deals are availble for Snake fans who go to both Wednesday games, including an Irish Nacho deal at a place called the Tilted Kilt, which is attempting to put itself into the empty Shoppes at Marlins Park to excite the Little Havana neighborhood). Today, Arizona is on a 4-game win streak, and will start Joe Saunders, while the Fish go with Mark Buehrle.
