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

Season's End

The Fish finally hit off a sore Dickey. And Greenberg got his at-bat.

The Marlins could end the 2012 season by sweeping the Mets (the Mets have swept the Marlins in their last two series). The 4:10 start is scheduled to feature Tom Koehler and Jeremy Hefner.

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

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)

Oct 1 Games

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

Baseball?

While the front office is busy planning events for the ballpark in the offseason, the players get ready for the final 4 games this year. Now that the Fish played spoiler on Friday, and lost on Saturday, it's time for the last game with the Phils for 2012. Eovaldi and Hamels do the honors.

Also, tonight is Jeff Conine's Celebrity Poker Classic at Calder

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

Sep 29 Games

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

Spark of Good

The Marlins' signing of Adam Greenberg has shoved the depressing news off to the side, at least for a little while.

Tonight Philly returns to finish up the Fish.
Buehrle and Lee start.

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

UPDATE:Fish win 2-1!

Sep 27 Stuff

The Fish swim away from the birthplace of Lucy, and may head closer to the Jello Museum.
Stanton's out till Friday, Ruggiano's out for the year, and Solano's suddenly the Sultan of Swat.
Last night the Marlins struck out 4 times in the 9th. Tonight's the Marlins' last game against the Braves this year. Turner and Hanson start.
(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

Who Said What

So now we got Heath Bell saying (FIX)he was misquoted when (FIX)he was quoted as being critical of Ozzie, and we have Ozzie's response to what he thought Bell said he said.
For some perspective, here's a famous person's reflection on being misquoted.
Tonight its Johnson and Maholm.
(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

9 Games to Go

Amidst the entertaining finger-pointing, the floundering Fish play at Atlanta tonight. Eovaldi and Medlen start.
(Yahoo)(ESPN)(CBSSports)(MLB)(FOX)(CNNSI)

No Marlins Loss Today

The Fish have a day off to fly to Georgia. Here's today's games...
(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.

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

Series Finale

The Fish win two 6-5 games in a row. They have a chance to win the series today, and Giancarlo could continue to make history today. The Marlins brought back Bonifacio and Murphy. Josh Johnson and Drew Pomeranz start today.

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

Mile High Game 3

The Marlins squeaked out a win last night. Nathan Eovaldi and Tyler Chatwood start tonight.

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

Correction: At Denver With The Rocks

What's an error of a couple of thousand miles, anyway? So, with Nick Green on the DL, Gil Velazquez playing, Greg Dobbs playing sore, and Jacob Turner a possible call-up, the Marlins continue in Denver. Wade LeBlanc and Jeff Francis are supposed to start.

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

At Home With The Rocks

Colorado come to town for four games. Pitching tonight will be Ricky Nolasco and Alex White.

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

Avoiding 4-In-A-Row

Can the Marlins put a number on the board higher than zero? This afternoon its Mark Buehrle and Roy Halladay on the mound.

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

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.

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

The Cheesesteaks Arrive

As Emilio works to get back, the Fish stay at home for a Phillies series. Eovaldi and Hamels start. Today's the fantasy auction.

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

Weekend in Li'l Havana

The Fish win on Saturday...

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

...and today Nolasco and Capuano battle in the rubber game.

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

LA in SoBe

Once again the knuckleball flummoxed the Fish yesterday, and the Marlins return to Miami to welcome back Hanley as the Dodgers come to town. Kershaw and Buehrle start.

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

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.

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

Marlins Hang with Mets

The Fish decided to play anothergame in Queens.

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

Marlins Visit Mets

Jose will aim to keep his hitting streak going as he returns to his old stomping grounds in Flushing. Wade LeBlanc and Jonathon Niese are the projected starters.

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

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...

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

DC Sunday

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

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.

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

Double the Fun

Two games today in DC, starting at 4:05 PM. Call-up Brad Hand will be pitching the first game, Josh Johnson the second.

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

Try to Tie

The new Marlins rack up a win last night and try to even out the series tonight. Nathan Eovaldi and Mike Minor start.

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

Introducing the New Miami Marlins

Now that the Marlins got Cox for Mujica and Gorkys for Gaby, and the trades have slowed down a little, it's back to the daily slogging to try to win a few more games this year. A win did not happen last night. Tonight Wade LeBlanc should be making his first Marlins start against Ben Sheets.

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

Game 2 of 4

Marlins to shake off last night's loss. Kris Medlen starts for the first time in 2 years as Ricky Nolasco starts for the Fish.

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

On The Road Again

As LoMo rests his knee, the Fish start a road trip of NL East teams, commencing at Atlanta. Buehrle and Hanson are the starters tonight.

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

Sunday Afternoon Services

It may or may not be Josh's last start as a Marlin. Clayton Richard starts for San Diego.

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

E-O Wins!

The Fish win 4-2 on Nathan Eovaldi's debut as a Marlin, breaking the Pad's 9-game win streak in South Florida.

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

Fish 'n Friars

With all the trades and rumors of trades going on, it would be nice maybe for a while to go back to the normal everyday type of daily Marlins goofiness, sort of like LoMo's breastfeeding tweets.

The Padres are in town for the weekend. Carlos Zambrano and Kip Wells are to fling.

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

Time Out

Today was the Marlins' next-to-last non-travel day-off for the year. As they ponder the next 64 games without Mr. Popularity, other games were played...

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

Afternoon Finale

Who's playing third? (Abbott: "No, who's on first!"). The Fish won after the last big trade; maybe it's a new strategy. Nolasco and Hanson pitch.

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

New Trade Wednesday

Two more crapping veterans are hitting the road. Hanley and Randy Choate go to the Dodgers for pitchers Nathan Eovaldi and Scott McGough. Ramirez fittingly ended last night's loss by striking out looking. Ramirez and Randy will just barely get settled before they have to come back; the Dodgers' first game against the Fish this year will be in Miami August 9.

Post-Trade Tuesday

As the Angels were scouting Josh last night, who knows who'll show up (or disappear) for tonight's game? Mark Buehrle and Tim Hudson start.

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

Fishing

The front office trades Omar and Anibal to Detroit for Jacob Turner, Rob Brantley, Brian Flynn and a future trade of draft picks. The Fish also snap their 5-game losing streak.

Stop The Slide,...Please

The Marlins return to town to face the Braves. Josh Johnson and Mike Minor start.

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

Stop The Slide,...Now

The Fish are now 8 games back in the WC. The Marlins have not only been aimless at manufacturing runs for themselves, but yesterday they proved they could produce historic amounts of runs for the opposition. It's sweep-avoidance Sunday. Anibal starts for the Fish, Jeff Karstens for the Bucs.

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

Stop The Slide

The Fish are 7.5 games back in the WC. Last night it was Resop; tonight A.J. Burnett gets to pitch against what used to be his old team. Zambrano's up for the Marlins.

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

It's The Pitts

Marlins play the Pirates this weekend, with Beinfest not knowing which way to go.

Ricky Nolasco and Kevin Correia mount the mound tonight.

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

Afternoon Rubber

Amid trade rumors, Mark Buehrle and Paul Maholm start.

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

Going For 3-in-a-Row

Tonight's game will be on WGN. Mujica should be back as Ryan Webb returns to AAA. Oviedo is sprained. Josh Johnson and Jeff Samardzija tonight.

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

Ozzie's Back in Chicago

Guillen prepares for a warm homecoming. The Marlins have 30 more games this year against non-NL-East opponents, starting tonight in Chicago. They are 3-0 against the Cubs so far this year. But the Cubs have 12 of their last 16, and 5 of their last 6. Anibal against Travis Wood tonight.

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

Vie For a Tie

The Fish fight for a split in the series. Oviedo is being checked out. Tonight, Zambrano and Jackson pitch.

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

Sunday's Showdown

A slipping Strasburg and a groovin' Nolasco are today's starters.

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

Wack Sat.

The team is one game farther back than yesterday. But that doesn't matter when tonight you can see not only at least one player with a newly-shaved head, two old players doing a not-so-instant replay, and some Kulture Shock after the game, but you'll be the first to know who the Marlins new 'pool boy' will be. How can you possibly miss that?

And, for those of you interested, a game will be played. Buehrle and Gio be flinging.

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

Coming Up

The Fish have 77 games scheduled for the rest of the season. They are 5 games behind the Wild Card leader (Cincinatti), and 9 games back of the NL East leading Washington Nationals. The Marlins have 13 games (6 at home, 7 away) left with those Nationals within the 56 games scheduled from now until the final matchup with them this year on September 9, starting with a 4-bagger tonight at Marlins Park. The Fish are one of four NL teams that have a winning record against the Nats so far this season - though just barely, at 3-2. Those 3 wins also happened at Marlins Park, from May 28-30. After the last Nats-Fish game on September 9, the Fish play 18 of the last 21 games of 2012 against the other 3 teams in the NL East. The Reds are the last non-NL East team the Marlins play this year.

Time to put their historically bad first half behind them (if not, then Edwin is still out there). Josh and Jordan start tonight.


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

Much-Needed Break

As Heath blows another one and Hanley hurts himself, Samson pontificates on the state of the Fish.

Hot Rubber Game

Stanton is having surgery and missing the All-Star game and about a month of playing time. The forecast today is for a little less heat but a coin flip's chance of rain. Anibal Sanchez and Joe Kelly are to start today.

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

Wheww!

Another horribly hot day is forecast for today's 4:10 PM start in St. Louis. Giancarlo says he can play today, and Justin continues to surprise. After last night's loss the Cards will start Kyle Lohse, while the Marlins cross their fingers and sent out Carlos Zambrano.

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

Sweep Need

The Fish go into the All-Star break with 3 games at St. Louis. The Marlins All-Star may not make it to the big show. Even after the June swoon, the Fish still can go to the break at over .500 if they sweep. Ricky Nolasco and Jake Westbrook toss it today.

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

Welcome to the Second Half

Yesterday's roller-coaster went the Marlins way. After Gaby homered to help the Fish win, he is sent down to make room for new Marlin Carlos Lee. Quotes like "He's still a dangerous hitter" and "I can still do a lot of things in the game" shows that Lee hasn't been living up to his hopes lately. Maybe he'll regress to the mean.

Carlos should start in this afternoon's game. Marlins going for a split in the series. Mark Buehrle and Michael Fiers start.

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

Shake It Off

Last night's roller-coaster ride of a game may have been disheartening, but remember there's still a whole half of a season yet to get through.

The last game of the first half of the season is today, a 4:10 ET start at Miller Park. Both teams are at 38-42 at this point in the season. Miami has a chance today with Josh on the mound against Randy Wolf. Some rain may fall on the fans as the heat forces the dome open.

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

Game Two With Brew Crew

Anibal Sanchez and Marco Estrada start this afternoon. D-Train retires.

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

MMMMMMMMM

The Fish finally do battle with the other NL team with the big 'M' on their caps. (There's one NL team the Marlins still haven't played against this year, and they won't see the Dodgers until August.) Miami has won its last 4 games, but the other streaks go the other way. The Marlins have lost their last 4 road games, and have lost their last 8 against Milwaukee. Zambrano and Greinke are to start.

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

Sunday on a Roll

As the Phillies start to disassemble themselves, the Marlins aim for a sweep. Ricky Nolasco and Joe Blanton toe the rubber today.

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