We will bounce back, if our pitching continues to be stellar the Marlins can and will bounce back. Plus, we will go on a winning streak, this team continues to fight back and because of that I still believe we can contend. This was just a couple of bumps on the road to sucess.

I had read what the exact number was somewhere, but between revenue sharing and everything, I think its supposed to come out to about $60 million or so. I could be wrong, but maybe someone can find this piece of information up. That is what I also heard.

I think that the way we started our season was awful,but, throughout the first half of the season the team has shown resiliance and the ability to fight back no matter what. If any team had the start that we had people would have ridden them off. But this team is actually contending, they try to win every game and that is admirable and the only thing you can ask as a fan. This team had a winning June because they might have put it together. They are leaving everything they got on the field.

Now D-Wade's turn to re-sign with the world champs Miami Heat.

I prefer downtown Miami, but, Hialeah has shown that they really want the Marlins in Hialeah at any cost. This impressed me. They are dedicated to bringing the team to South Florida to that I can only give them a:thumbup

Does anyone think that if we are at .500 or maybe a game below we could get someone good like crawford yes I know the Devil Rays are always hard to trade with but with many teams becoming sellers instead of buyers we have a chance to get someone decent Yes, as long as we have Admin Beinfeist( The best GM in MLB) and if Loria wants to win then yes.

There is always a reason to hope when our team takes the field and are confident. It is us against the world.

I would go with Anibal, but Joe is playing with a hot hand as of late. If he feels that Moe gives him the best chance to win, then who am I to question him? If anibal can hold down the Yanks I think he can hold down the Sox Agreed. The Yankees have a more potent offense and against Anibal they looked weak and defensless.

The key for the fish: Play small ball and force them to play defense. They are bound to make one error. As for pitching keep them at 2-3 runs or a quality start. And always remember that they have to lose sometime.

Tavares is not worth anything right now. His batting average is low his defense is sub par. He still makes rookie type mistakes. He is suitable for the bench. For a leadoff type hitter he is useless. He is not what the Marlins should be looking for unless he is extremely cheap.

There I voted 25 times, now I hope to see the all star game filled with Marlins such as Dan Uggla and Miguel Cabrera.

It also now finds itself with additional time to deal with the potential free agency of forward James Posey. Agent Mark Bartelstein said Monday that today's deadline for Posey's 2006-07 opt-in has been shifted to Friday, instead of the previous deadline of 24 hours before Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. NBA Draft. Considering Posey's strong play during the Heat's championship run, many in the league expect the valued sixth-man to opt out of his $6.4 million for next season, if for no other reason than to gain a long-term deal from the Heat. The free-agent negotiation period opens Saturday, although free-agent contracts cannot be signed until July 11. Anderson, 31, could yet pursue a buyout or the Heat could use his contract in a trade. Anderson started three games after being acquired from the Rockets at midseason, averaging 20.2 minutes in 23 appearances. But he appeared in only eight of the Heat's 23 playoff games, for 66 minutes.

Torii Hunter as a Marlin, I can see it now........ :evil

We Marlins fans are not lucky to have these stud pitchers, instead they are a tribute to the Marlins organization and scouts. It is no luck when the scouts are excellent at their job and always seem to find a superstar in the making.

that's awesome, it'll be great ot pass the phillies, that'll put us in second place.. It will be even greater winning the wild card and stunning the world of baseball as we compete for our 3rd title.

This is a big loss to the bullpen,but, our team can still function without him.

Soccor is still out there. People still watch soccer?

How is the Reds organization treating you?

We are gonna shock the world once more and win the wild card while others teams take us for granted.

If our great pitching continues, we will be in every game and right now they are playing with confidence and they are playing baseball the right way. Plus, not everybody is hot right now, imagine how bad it can get for our opponents when every body is on fire. This team is on fire and who knows how long it will last. But, hopefully it can last for a long time. They are keeping the game simple and about fundementals, you cant lose that way. :thumbup

FEAR THE FISH :kicknutz

It is nice to MJ involved with the game in some form.

speaking of mark cuban... Cuban feeling the Heat By Mark Kiszla Denver Post Staff Columnist Miami - At the NBA Finals, the worst seat in the house is the one behind Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who's always in the darn way. How do you tell a billionaire to plant his big derriere back in a front-row seat? "You shout 'SIT DOWN!"' said AmericanAirlines Arena usher Lawrence Hadley, who stood up to Cuban, getting on his case within the first 15 seconds of what proved to be a long Thursday night for the dot-com billionaire, what with Miami routing Dallas 98-74. "I don't care who you are or how much money you have, you've got show people respect. "You've got to sit down. Because the Heat is on." There is only one reason to hate the Mavericks. His name is Mark Cuban, the incurable adolescent who owns an NBA franchise but refuses to grow up. Cuban is smarter than you, richer than you and laughing louder than you. And don't you forget it. Asked why basketball rivals that might try to duplicate the Mavs' recipe for success are likely to cook up nothing except frustration, Cuban said: "They don't know the secret sauce." What the heck is this dot-com geek doing on the court, standing on the edge of the Dallas circle during timeouts at the NBA Finals? Cuban attends games dressed as if ready to clean out the garage. He's constantly on his feet in front of his seat, showing up referees, expressing disgust with every call that goes against the Mavs. Personally, I like Cuban. Any 40-something man who bobs his head to the beats of Eminem before tipoff is as close to one of the boys as a billionaire can be. But is it any wonder Heat fans threw towels at him when Dallas collapsed at the end of Game 3? And when the Mavericks flushed their advantage in this best-of-seven series in Game 4, Cuban groused to an ABC-TV sideline reporter that Dallas was playing like dirt, although the disgruntled owner might have actually employed a different four-letter word. Cuban insults the opposition without really trying. "I like Miami. It's the home of 'Scarface.' What could be wrong?" Cuban said. Miami. Home of Scarface. Somehow, I don't think the tourism board will be adopting that as a marketing slogan anytime soon. There was a bad rumor Cuban had docked a yacht within walking distance of the arena and adorned it with a "Go Mavs" banner. Absolutely not true, insisted Cuban. "I don't own a boat," he said. "But I've been in the row boat." Then, Cuban went for the cheap joke. "I think my dad is on (the boat) drinking," he said. "So you can say there's a Cuban on there. But, it's not hard to find a Cuban on a boat here." The only problem with Cuban is he thinks this game is about him. Not satisfied with being part of the scene, he makes a scene. Earlier this season, while doing a television interview with Jim Gray, a Kiss-Me camera in the arena framed the two men. "He wouldn't take the tongue," Cuban said. Rivals view him as a graceless winner and a sore loser. Please forgive Miami spectators for cheering against Cuban as much as cheering for their home team. "They don't go for the 'San Antonio sucker,"' said Cuban, complimenting Heat fans while dissing the Spurs. "I tried standing up so they would start booing and screaming when one of Miami's guys was at the foul line. Then, they realized Dwyane Wade was at the line and they shut up." Wade scored 36 points in Game 4. Center Shaquille O'Neal looked like Superman. No matter how intently Cuban stared over the shoulder of Dallas coach Avery Johnson, there was nothing the Mavericks or their know-it-all owner could do to stop it. "He didn't want to stand no more when that score got way up there in Miami's favor," Hadley said. "He was sitting down in his seat, looking all glum." The Heat has wiped the arrogance off Cuban's face. Nothing makes America happier than a billionaire having a bad time. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_3943812 Mark Cuban is an ass. He is an idiot. I hope we win the next two games so we can make him eat his words.

The Canes are playing pressure free which will lead to another national championship.

Even the win streak is making Herges look useful.
