This might not be the timeliest shout-out, but for anyone that was at the game on Friday, you were hopefully part of that badass wave. No one can be sure which section started it, but it was right field that wouldn?t let it die. Around the 6th ining that thing just took off, it must have circumnavigated the stadium 10 times. If Juan hadn?t stolen 2nd?who knows, it might still be going now. Each time it?d look like it was about to fizzle out in the gap between left and right, but, the right field fans would pick that thing right back up again with 99% participation. That was a lot of fun to be a part of.

does the cam work during the games?

I'm going tonight and I'm glad that wind's blowing SE because right now there's this gigantic mass of thunderness to the west.

I'm going to the game tonight, but tomorrow's is gonna be the game to see. Patterson's ERA is 2.58. I have both Patterson on my fantasy team, but I wouldn't mind seeing him get lit up because I also have Burnett. ; )

I heard on 790 this morning that odds are Lowell will stay. If that's the case the slot for Hermida would be in Right Field. The interesting part of the discussion was the fact that Cabrera has spent most of his pro stint in the outfield and that in a division like our own it's important to have a strong corner like Lowell.

The real #1 basketball team ain't in Illinois ; )

I would like that trade, but I thought he was off limits.

Pay the toll for us when we win like the Dolphins do!!

I think the D-Rays' ownership is much worse than the Marlins'. The guy won't reinvest any money into the team. Also the D-Rays have no pitching. They have Baez. That's one team I'm glad I'm not obligated to be a fan of.

No. 864432[/snapback] Not if we have to pay him to play elsewhere... 864435[/snapback] That hit was amazing.? I heard them on the tv last night saying how he was DH in college.? He's like Willis, wins his own games...at least tries.? I thought Vargas looked sharp, but his velocity was a little low I thought.? Also, what pitches was he throwing?? It looked like changeup/fastball to me...does he have a strikeout pitch? 864655[/snapback] What do you expect? He was in low-A ball to start the year, they don't usually have to fast of a fastball. 864658[/snapback] Yeah fair enough, it's still of a hell of a lot faster than I can throw. It's amazing to me that he did so well. Does anyone know what pitches he packs though?

Yeah, I wouldn't say that Leiter's gonna be haunting the team yet. Not showing loyalty to Lowell might come back for some regret, but that's the money game. It'll be interesting to see what changes actually happen.

Thanks for adding a new thread about this.

Those jerseys are awesome. In MVP I always wear the retro teal.

You know what, I'm probably asking for a lot of punshiment by saying this, but I'm gonna throw it out there...With all of Beckett's problems staying healthy, why not make him a closer? Vargas, Moehler, Olsen, Willis, Burnett(whatever we get for Burnett). Do you all ever think about it?

Hey guys. I love this site for my marlins news, but what's a good forum for Dolphins news?

Thanks

I had Percival earlier in the year and dropped him due to inconsistency, but with recent talks of the Tigers getting hotter, do you all think I'd be better off dropping Macdougal for him or should I just be content with the 1 or 2 save opportunities the Royals'll give me each week? It's a head to head league.

you guys know that Bautista is there closer right? if they acquire AJ, we could see a package of Chacin and League 853797[/snapback] Batista use to be a starter. He's just in the closer role right now. I don't really think a trade with Jays is gonna happen, but if it did, we should definately try to get our hands on Batista.

Batista would be a ginormous addition. That guy can also start.

Well said PositiveHype. On 560 yesterday, Mandich was talking about how he was in San Diego when McKeon was there. He said that McKeon's "magic" just seems to wear off after the first year. I gotta admit that I was on the trade AJ bandwagon and heck why not even throw a Juan or a Lowel in there. But since I've been reading on these forums and since I've been watching the team show glimpses of their potential, I really believe this team has the goods to win right now, it just needs some firey leadership. I think a new manager could be the necessary change. So who?

With Pavano on the DL now, do you think we'll get any new interest from the Yanks for Burnett?
