Agreed. With the Big 3 dominating the way they are plus our depth, I think the rest of the NL wild card teams are more afraid of us than anybody else. Its becoming practically an auto-win when we either scoire more than 5 runs or have Vargas, Train, Josh, or AJ pitching nearly complete games. Now its time to go on the road and take at least 2 of 3 from Milwaukee.

how sweet is this??? Big O on ESPN!!! You mean the "Big Out".

Yes, his home runs have disappeared, his average is 40 points too low, and his clutch rbi's have been inconsistent. But for the anti-Mikey people out there, if tonight didnt show just how valuable Lowell is to the team, I doubt you'll ever see the light. Mike Lowell WILL continue to be the starting 3rd baseman on this team for as long as hes with us. His age and experience, his leadership qualities, his gold glove defense, and most importantly his stellar intangibles and mental toughness make up for any bat struggles he can have. No matter what his numbers are at the end of the season, if we make the playoffs I know theres not many people Id rather have up to bat with RISP in the playoffs than Mike Lowell. He is a proven winner and a great Marlin.

"Bench Lowell. " :banghead

What a HUGE hit by Treanor....glad to see our depth coming through in these must-win games.

Wasnt Sheffield's OBP in '96 something like .460? Simply incredible to think Cabs could do better...

No, Im not old at all, actually a young guy. And also, People posting "smiley-face" responses is nothing new...every message board has these people, who because they have nothing of quality to add to the topic, think posting just a smiley somehow accurately conveys their opinion. And most probably just want they post count to get higher.

Hello all, I figure that as a first post I needed to be a little creative so based on my observations over the years as a Fish fan I present the 10 RULES OF MARLINS BASEBALL. 10. Anytime we face a rookie or a n00b pitcher, he shuts us down. 9. Blame Bill Cli-- Robinson 8. Preseason Beliefs: "Were definately better than the Braves this year" MidSeason Beliefs: "Jeff Franc-who????" 7. Anytime we face a pitcher with a 5.00 era on a bad team he somehow beats us. 6. When in doubt, trade with the Dodgers. 5. Preseason Beliefs: "Our young pitchers wont get injured and they will win 15 games" MidSeason Beliefs: "We can still make the playoffs with the Bullpen as the 5th starter" 4. Silly Giants, LCS's are for Fish. 3. A Cabrera per day keeps the Yankees at bay. 2. Steve Bartman is the lamest excuse ever for losing a series. The one thing the Giants (twice), Braves, Cubs, Indians, and Yankees have in common is that they still wont admit were were SIMPLY BETTER THAN THEY WERE!!! 1. Nobody how bad things ever are, at least were not the PHILLIES!!! GO FISH TEAL OCTOBER 2005
