  1. It feels like every bullpen is the worst bullpen in the majors right now. The Marlins aren't with two Allstars at 8th and 9th inning, but they still don't make me feel like a lead is safe when they get the ball. But almost every bullpen I've seen feels like that. The Marlins mashed 3 of 4 from the Cubs off their bullpen. The later innings are going to get very interesting for everybody in the second half of the season....
  2. Welcome to the Marlins roller coaster. It's one of those insane rides they slap on skyscrapers in Dubai. Keep the vomit bag handy.
  3. Suddenly, the jokes I've made about Barry Bonds' special duties as hitting coach are coming back to haunt me.
  4. I do appreciate these puns even if they're over Dunn.
  5. I'm usually of the opinion the more teal, the better. I'm kind of weird like that.
  6. A random question: Is anyone's making Mattingly Miami Marlins merchandise? My brother's favorite player growing up was Don Mattingly, so it's been the inspiration for plenty of offbeat gifts for a guy who pretty much buys anything he wants himself. Hell, I even got an opportunity to help him meet the guy when I lived in New Jersey. Mattingly joining the Marlins is kind of a perfect opportunity for a Christmas present, but I can't even buy a shirt with his name and number from officials channels because MLB doesn't allow retired names and numbers to be used unless they tell you you can. I tried, but they shut down my order fairly quickly. So, I figured I'd check in with people somewhat closer than 1,700 miles away from Miami if anybody had stuff. Thanks!
  7. No. Especially since my college roommate was a Cubs fan in '03. I told him a Buckner play was going to happen in game 6 before he went off to watch it with his friends. The conversation when he came back: "Buckner." "**** you!" "Fair enough." We weren't roommates the next semester.
  8. To me, this is two people with generic names changing hands.
  9. They're intentionally tanking to make it so the team can move to Miami... wait....
  10. My question is with our roster of pitching made up of mostly AAA and AA pitching and our hitting devoid of at least half of its viable starters, how bad is Milwaukee to be completely outhit and outpitched by this team at home TWICE?
  11. I probably have an extreme bias since he's one of my favorite players, but yeah. You know, as long as he's what he was supposed to be this year and a veteran bench player/spot starter rather than the actual starter injuries forced him into being this year. I've seen the automatic outs that have come off the bench for this team. Mike Lamb, anyone? I'd rather take 60-year-old Ichiro than that.
  12. ♩You're the best arouuuuuuuuund! Nothing's ever gonna' keep ya' down....
  13. Midwestern people have a very weird thing with random ballot box stuffing fever and it's apparently highly contagious. Sometimes a Nebraska Cornhusker here in Lincoln is on some kind of voting thing, and even the normal fans will stop at nothing to nonstop vote until they get the desired result. To turn the deal on my own alma mater, Cy the Iowa State Cyclone mascot somehow won the Capital One mascot challenge for a year, and believe me, I am as baffled as anyone else how that happened.
  14. Just put in all 35 votes. EDIT: Was half tempted to throwaway some votes on Coco Crisp. Seriously, .044 AVG on an All-Star ballot, baby!
  15. "Hey, Mac, what's the going rate for an absent-minded pitcher who can't get anybody out?"​ Also of note from that movie, a minor subplot involving pornography in something with a PG-Rating. "Another victim of the Night Nurses from Jersey."
  16. This would be about the perfect jersey for me. I have bad luck that every person I buy a jersey for gets traded, goes to another team, or has something else crappy happen. Dontrelle Willis, Kevin Garnett on a Timberwolves jersey, etc. So, it's a 1-year, $2 mill deal. My superstition is not going to make or break the team if I buy one with Ichiro on it.
  17. One of the best parts of being a Marlins fan is watching the fandoms of the other team have meltdowns when they lose a couple to *THEM* late in the season no matter what the Marlins current standing is. I went to Kansas City to watch a game last season in early August and the talk radio on the way in was absolutely optimistic and pumped about the team. On the way out when they lost the series (Of course, the Marlins didn't win the game I'm at), the talk radio was like the WORLD HAD ENDED. In early August. The Brewers were doing badly at this point, but after losing a couple from us, the situation is so dire, Kato Kaelin is tweeting about the Brewers being dead after this. KATO BLEEPIN' KAELIN. Whatever you think of the Marlins having the reputation as THAT team with THAT ownership who choose to wear THAT color in public, I love the fact that it pisses other people more when they lose to them.
  18. If the Marlins start a losing streak and eventually peter out quietly for the rest of the season, I'm blaming this thread. You know, instead of the mediocre, inconsistent talent that dots the roster like machine gun fire.
  19. Arizona played tonight like how most people think the Marlins play, including some people on this forum. They can be bad. They aren't aren't THAT bad with an exception of last season.
  20. Okay, now that I'm done with work and making sure my co-worker had the best final day of work ever....... PIECE OF SHIT FUCKERS OF MOTHERS!!!!!!!
  21. This is how we all feel TURN DOWN FOR WHAT?!
  22. The league's punishment for the season-ending injury on Buster Posey years ago just came down....
