Last Normal Game at Sun Life
With all the festivities planned, tomorrow's game will seem like an afterthought.
Of course with all the turbulent news bursting forth around the Marlins the last few days, the last couple of games have also been taking a back seat. Today's news is more of the same - along with the Adventures of Ozzie we now find out that Leo-Juan may beat the rap after all, that Frank McCourt is trying to drag Loria into the Dodgers bankruptcy, and that the Marlins don't even own the website miamimarlins.com.
But usually that's the case with the Marlins anyway - unbelievable stories paired up with Florida summers and consistently empty stadium. But that, sad to say, will be no more soon. Tonight's probably your last chance to enjoy the spaciousness, in the way a Florida Marlins game traditionally should really be enjoyed, with packs of sweaty people scattered here and there all over the stands, aimlessly staring at each other, wondering why there are so many other fans of other teams making all that noise, and, when nothing else is happening, checking out the game every now and then.
Go ahead. The box office is open up to the 5th inning. You know you're going to miss it.
For those not within a hour's flight, the pitchers tonight are Javier Vazquez and John Lannan.

More Omar
Infante will get to move to Miami as he reportedly agrees to a 2-year contract with the Fish.
Guillen to Manage Marlins
Seems the Marlins traded a so-far-unnamed prospect or two to the White Sox to get Guillen
Ozzie says, "I can't tell you how thrilled I am to be a part of the Marlins organization. I have an unbelievable amount of respect for the Marlins, owner Jeffrey Loria, president Larry Beinfest and general manager Michael Hill." (Hmmm, no mention of Samson there.)
Anyway, here's wishing good luck to Ozzie being back in Miami and dealing with a "control freak" like Loria.

Boo-Hoo
The assertion that there will be few tears shed as 'the Florida Marlins at Sun Life Stadium' leap off the diving board of history this week seems a little premature.
Already the skies have been crying most of the day. Maybe Mama Nature will allow a game tonight, maybe not.
There's a sense of loss, as McKeon stares at the crumbling clubhouse, as the front office boys begin to interview for his replacements.
And the talk of getting rid of Nolasco is building.
And the mini-crime wave known as Juan Carlos Oviedo has, nevertheless, positive hopes for the future.
The Brewers swept Florida for the season yesterday in Miller Park, giving the Marlins a losing road record for the year, and sealing up the cellar of the NL East for the Fish.
The not-so-perennial-anymore cellar-dwellers the Nationals are here to finish up 2011, fighting for 3rd place.
Scarily, the Nats are on an 8-game road win streak while the Fish have a .400 record at crumbly, drippy Joe-No-Mo Stadium.
Scary Nats rookie Tommy Milone is scheduled to start tonight, as Anibal Sanchez starts for Florida.
UPDATE: Jack will retire again after Wednesday.

Way Off
On the last day off this season the Marlins news has been the usual blahblahblah - the new Marlins logo is either fake or ugly, Samson disses practically whatever fans the Marlins still had, and 28-year-old Leo Nunez is now 29-year-old Juan Carlos Oviedo. Past that, not much. Here's tonight's scores...

POSSIBLE-UPDATE: Twitterer H2ODAG believes our (former) closer had assumed a dead cousin's identity.

Nine to Go
It's the next-2-last home stand for Sun Life and for the Florida Fish. Atlanta is happy to play 3 here - they be 6-0 this year in beautiful Miami Gardens and they still dream of the playoffs. The Marlins, meanwhile, would be happy to play the spoiler role. Minor and Nolasco perform.

Go Hoppers
The final game of the SAL Championship is tonight - hopefully it can be heard through this link or this link.
And of course it's game number two tonight of the Marlins-Nationals series in Washington. Pitching will be the repaired Stephen Strasburg and the looking-for-another-win Chris Volstad.
