Minus Anibal, Plus West, and we have our best starting rotation since the Beckett-Burnett-Willis-Pavano-Redman era. Redman sucked!!! Especially in the playoffs replace him with Penny. No Redman, and we probably don't make the playoffs. Redman was rock solid all year for the Marlins

Dude, we must acquire Pudge... This season Baker/Paulino > Pudge really....unless you don't care about defense and actually controlling the running game

I sure hope that the broadcast is done by the FSN local crew. I can't stand the TB guys

not a big fan of Baker. . .Seems like my grandma can steal a base of him

Tampa is a pretty good darn team. I'll be OK with one win, and super happy if somehow we can get two. With that said, I can't stand the TB announcers.

Again, as I said earlier, I think he generally made the right decision (in that he is not following the suggestions of the neo-conservatives). Either Obama should have said nothing at all (perhaps wise) or Ahmadinejad is just hard to please. Most of the stated rhetoric expressed by Obama preceding the Iranian elections was comparable to Bush's positions. However, I think a large part of the problem is that we have CIA agents in Iran right now both funding and assisting the revolutionaries. I don't agree with these actions and I'm certain that Ahmadinejad is aware that Obama has the power to end it. I have zero issues on how Obama handled this situation. I'm actually glad that this nutjob is demanding an appology. Any type of talks with Iran is a waste of time

CC gets my vote...I think it is too early to tell, but he is showing great discipline at the plate. Hoping he can keep it going

I put in my 25 votes

this is getting old.....this is the most frustrating Marlins team ever

lol way to go miller

Okay, now give up a GS. u know is coming....book it

unbelievable...these guys want to lose!

I don't get why Fredi keeps playing Emilio lead off..this is getting ridiculous.

only one I don't agree with is Cantu... Hermida frustrates me out there

if this is true, the Marlins should pull the trigger

Bonifraudio does nothing but strike out, get thrown out while looking lost standing at first, and boot balls at 3b. (Thought he was supposed to be a defensive upgrade? LIES!!) If he does nothing but strike out, how the hell does he get thrown out at first as by your logic, he'd never get there??? Proves my point, really. Obviously i know he gets a HIT here, and there and sometimes does walk!!! Shocking I know but when he does make it to first he looks lost out there which is why i said "get thrown out while looking lost standing at first," the few hits he does get he ends up messing them up.... He should have 25 steals by now as fast as he is! He's been terrible as a leadoff man. The guys a joke... He doesn't belong in the majors. he is an adequate fringe player for a team in eternal rebuilding mode. he is never going to be a star, and whoever though that was the case with his torrid start, was fooling themselves. I'm seeing some improvement, but I don't think he belongs (or may ever) in the lead off spot regardless. he does belongs in the majors, he is probably a bench player on an average team. Speed and good defense are good asset for the bench. he just happens to play on a bad team at the moment.

I think hating Bonifacio is idiotic...Get mad at Fredi/and or the front office for batting him lead off. This team is demonstrating that we are pretenders and not true contenders. Our place is at the bottom of the NL east. On a team like this, a Bonifacio batting 250 and providing adequate defense at 3rd base in perfectly fine.

every time we start or bring back these threads we lose

< .500 Life Sucks

my grass could really use some rain...

Why is that scary? Not all Muslims are terrorists. agreed...but look at Islamic Nations and see if that's what you would like to see the world transform into..

I vote for Ricky Nolasco....We needed a good outing from him

Coghlan is not being promoted to bench anyone at this point. IMO, Fredi probably has the longest leach of any managers...remember Julio?

With that lineup your 4 best hitters get the most ABs. Coghlan is not proven. If he proves he can hit then he can be moved up. Ah...but why not just have? 1. Hermida 2. Baker (proven to be a good 2 hitter) 3. Hanley 4. Cantu ? 2-4 have not been the problem. I wouldn't mind that. I wouldn't mind hermida at lead off either.
