Deal Leiter/Bump/and some AAA prospects for a dependable SP and MRP. Pitching rotation should be: Beckett Willis Burnett Moeller (new guy) Deal Delgado for a speedy switch-hitting left fielder. Bench Lowell. Move Cabs to 3rd. Conine to 1st. :whistle WORLD SERIES CONTENDERS!!!

Trade JP??? Some of you people are smoking crack. If we trade anyone, it should be Leiter and Bump for a solid MRP. Also, I wouldn't mind trading Delgado for a speedy switch-hitting left fielder. Move Cabrera to 3rd and put Conine at 1st. Give Lowell some bench time until he re-learns the art of hitting.

If we lose Enc, we lose significant offense and defense. That would be idiotic.

I seriously doubt the players have the time nor the desire to read these boards. But if they do... Yo Niner! You're my favorite! And your karaoke recording of "Plush" is badass! :notworthy PS----I'd get you into Augusta. :thumbup

Mikey's not going anywhere. Bank on it. Don't be hatin' on Mikey.

Conine's intro music is my favorite. Niner obviously loves to ROCK. :notworthy

Where's the dogs?

The more important question right now is: How's the elephant-hat beer man's pitching game? I'd be willing to take a chance.

The truth is that "Absolved" is none other than George Steinbrenner, himself. It seems ol' Steiney is still holding a grudge from 2003. :lol

I'm pretty sure Marlins En Miami has them. You could probably look them up online and order that way.

When Valdez returns, I'd move Leiter to MR and let Moeller continue to start. Let's not forget, Leiter has shown nothing this season so far.

For the record, I questioned the Al Leiter move from the beginning. Maybe he'll "do the right thing" and give some of the money back. :thumbup

I just got SWEET tix for Saturday night's game vs Col. Anyone know who's supposed to start? Is it Beckett? :mischief2

:notworthy Well I, for one, am proud of our Marlins. They played their hearts out - which is what we've all come to expect from these guys over the years. It was a good title defense stand - and we were in the playoff hunt deep into the season. I will continue to enjoy the games this season and then look forward to next season. I don't think Loria will break up the team, but it's realistic to assume that we won't be able to keep everyone. Go Fish! From a TRUE fan.

I had tickets to the Friday night Marlins/Cubs game. It was the only game I have tix for and I was going to take my family for this ONE game of the year. If the game is made up in Chicago, what do I do? Anyone know?

What are you all are talking about? Barry ain't that good. :whistle

:thumbdown I don't want him back. Period. We've moved on. No reason for us to backtrack, whether we need him or not.

Trade Gonzalez? What are you smoking dude? AG's defense is stellar, as is his chemistry with Luis Castillo. And chemistry is SO important between the SS and 2B. Perhaps his avg isn't as high as we'd all like it to be, but the guy DOES make clutch hits when we need them. If his offensive production and $4Mil salary are the only reasons to trade him, then u should think back to last year. How many games did he save for us with either a clutch hit or fantastic defense? Here's a hint: MORE THAN A FEW. AGonz is a vital part of the heart & soul of this team. At a cool $4 Mil a year, he is a steal, in my opinion. :hat

Here are the names that ESPNInsider rumor central have said the marlins are interested in: Onterrio Smith Edgerrin James James Stewart Travis Henry Anthony Thomas Admin Johnson I'm sure these guys would love to pitch in, but I think they might be better suited for the Dolphins.

If I know anything about the Braves, they'll remain on this winning streak until the playoffs, then suddenly, as if by magic, forget how to play baseball entirely and get smoked by some mediocre "just-lucky-to-be-here" team that squeaked into the playoffs. It's the classic curse of "Chief Knock-a-homa" that began after they traded Dale Murphy to the Phillies back in the day.

I would not be at all surprised if we lose out to the Brewers and win all three vs the Cards. :banghead

Our guys just don't have it this year. Actually...they have it, but they just don't use it. I'm slowly adjusting to the fact that there likely will be no postseason this year. And it SUCKS. :mad :

Ricky's a homo.
