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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

No Runs, No Fun

The Marlins are going through another non-scoring binge. Kyle Kendrick needs all the non-scoring he can get, and Josh Johnson's job will be that much harder.

Marlins Leave Mets

The Marlins unfortunately have to leave Citi Field today, but not until an early afternoon game with the Mets. This game promises to be more of a contest than last night, with Josh Johnson and power knuckleballer R.A. Dickey starting.

Meditation

After grabbing sole possesion of last place in the NL East, the Marlins get a travel day off to ponder their accomplishment. Here's today's other scores...

Washington Weekend

One less of the Opening Day lineup is left, and the new Marlins get a little newer (or differenter, anyway) by bringing in Nick Green to take over for the broken Boni. Donnie Murphy's sore, too. But it's okay - The Fish can take on any team with one fin tied behind its back. Tonight Mark Buehrle and Jordan Zimmermann do battle.
