This sounds interesting. Hopefully those damn nats lose. On paper it looks that way with Colon pitching against Drese who was killed as a Ranger in the Angels division.

"Tune into the Forums later tonight as we do MarlinsBaseball.com ShootAround to cover the other NL East teams as they play tonight. " sounds cool

We have played good with this lineup so far. I dont know why but I guess that is just the way it is. We have scored 12, 6, and 9 runs respectively in the three games with this lineup in the last week and won all three games.

At least he can go sit with them in the bullpen and teach them what he taught our young starters......lol

Al Leiter may be in danger of losing his spot in the Marlins' starting rotation. The Marlins have several off days coming up, and manager Jack McKeon said he is considering dropping Leiter from the rotation. ''I want to pitch, but I would understand,'' Leiter said. ''I'm the one guy not deserving. I haven't done it consistently enough, and the numbers show it. If that's what Jack does, it wouldn't be a shock.'' Jun. 13 - 7:08 am et Source: Miami Herald According to the Miami Herald, Guillermo Mota may be on the trading block. ''Things aren't going my way right now,'' Mota said. ''My arm feels good, but I'm just not getting too many people out. I know the team needs me.'' Jun. 13 - 7:11 am et Source: Miami Herald From rotoworld.com

Today would have been interseting if we tied the game in the ninth inning. Paul LoDuca replaced Treanor and was thrown out after arguing balls and strikes. If we would have tied it, someone would have had to catch. :mischief2

Mota still wouldn't be happy because he would be the set up man for Fransisco Cordero.

Nationals claim Ryan Drese off Waivers and trade Tomo Ohka to the Brewers for Junior Spivey.

A.J. Burnett has been moved up a day to Friday. Al Leiter will pitch Saturday against the Rangers. The Marlins have next Thursday off, so this makes plenty of sense. Now Burnett will start next Wednesday and Leiter could be skipped next time through. Jun. 9 - 10:56 pm et Source:www.rotoworld.com Im not sure if this was mentioned yet.

Let's worry about getting our second catcher in the game first. Harris and Willis have volunteered. As I'm sure others would if the situation ever arise. 802273[/snapback] :o Is there anything the D-Train cant do?? :o 802481[/snapback] a left handed throwing catcher? i dont think they even make catchers mitts for the right hand :lol 802505[/snapback] Joe Maur is a left handed catcher so they do exist.

"He had that bobble at 3rd base against the nationals. damion brings a lot to the table offensively (speed, contact, pop)." The only reason he was put in that game was because they pinch ran for Lowell because he was a big run at the moment. It wasn't for defensive purposes. Also, Easley isn't that bad defensively. I might be mistaken but I remember him being a good fielder in Detroit.

I know that it wont hit us directly but we will be affected.

Baseball looks very doubtful for the rest of the homestand. Rain is in forecast to take over Miami with Tropical Storm Arlene off the coast. Hopefully we can get some games in because we dont see these teams again so expect double headers.

Hopefully the Heat win so that JP and Dontrelle would be fired up tomorrow!

I dont think the Blue Jays would trade Vernon Wells for JP.

why is baseball report on?

two best hitters look bad

here we go again

we need a clutch hit before everyone starts thinking again that this will end up the same way.

A loss today could drop us to last place. Hopefully A.J. can stop this pain.

Yes. It is the real lineup according to mlb.com
