I just realized its the latinos versus "los gringos" lol

15 game winning streak upcoming! Oh that will make my panties moist. Just when I was actually believing you were legit..... Well I am legit and I apologize for that. It happens when you leave the page up on the computer and your 19 year old son sits down at the keyboard. ... yes, the first thing I think of when my mother leaves a webpage open is to talk about her baby parts. Gag. this is getting weird....

Strasburg. Who? lol Jk i forgot about the guy who has the most SO to start off his career in MLB history

Do you guys think Gaby Sanchez can beat out heyward for rookie of the year? Heyward at the moment has an OPS of 0.833 while gaby has a 0.852. Gaby also has an edge in doubles and BA. what do you guys think. (I am assuming they are in the lead right now for the award, I have no idea whether there are better rookies in the league right now)

:lol I wasn't so rational a couple of hours ago. My blood was boiling! I don't know how many of you saw this happen live (I did!), but I think that makes it so much worse. Watching the replay doesn't do the moment justice. I flipped it on with one out. I was a little nervous because the ball was hit [somewhat] into no man's land. But yeah, watching live was a whole different ballgame. When Joyce's arms outstretched vertically, I was temporarily suspended; I had no idea what to think. It was a pretty stunning blow. Maybe this sounds melodramatic, but I think those who watched live may very well agree. I agree completely. I also had the displeasure of watching it live

:lol Usually if the runner is safe on the 27th out, he's called out. He was CLEARLY safe. I've never seen anything like this in baseball. you mean clearly "out" right?

Did it seem like Hudson hit Hanley on purpose? I missed that. well considering hudson usually has great control and there were 2 outs (hudson probably thought he could get away with hitting hanley), it may very well have been intentional. The ball hit hanely above his elbow

Hanley seems to be alot more aggressive on the basses since the incident

I love the emotion from Hanley right there. no doubt

Hey guys, just a heads up. Even though your tv guide might say that the magic game is on FSN, the marlins game is actually being played. Well at least where i live.

Why does Fredi hate winning? winning is overrated

Has anyone ever attempted this contest? if so, how far have you gotten, i. e. how many consecutive games have you gotten a hit? 2 better than 1

Helms is the "boss" of this team The enforcer. He appears to have the respect of young and old alike. The go to guy. As much as this is "Hanley's Team", the guy who makes it run is Helms. After Coghlan's recent object lesson there shouldn't be any question his importance to this team. That's why he's here. yeah and people on here say veteran presence and team chemistry are overrated Because it is. Specifically, the word chemistry. you see lou, its not only jim leyland that thinks so. I've had this discussion with you and PWG before and the only real "support" you guys have of veteran presence and chemistry not being important in a clubhouse is jim leyland's comments and the championship winning chicago cubs of the early 1900's, which i believe was an isolated case. I on the other hand base my opinion on the fact that many sport writers and players speak about the importance of veteran presence And the only real "support" you have is the same hearsay and conjecturing. Jim f***ing Leyland, in my opinion, is a much better source than sports writers, players, and a 16 year old playing for his high school team. Jim Leyland knows more about baseball than basically everyone. In Jim I trust. He has earned respect. The Marlins wouldn't cease to exist without Wes Helms. I'm glad the team respects or likes him, but he's not the key piece to this team. These guys are going to win and be successful with or without him. Wes Helms alone is not keeping this team together, which is basically the chemistry argument. I'm not saying fill a team with Elijiah Dukes, Milton Bradley, and Kris Bensen and not expect problems, but there is a superior factor to all of this that defeats any team and ladidah bullcrap. Winning. Winning = Chemistry In Jim I Trust Well i would have to argue that bobby cox, joe torre, and tony la russa know the same or more than jim leyland. But thats besides the point. I never said the sole reason the marlins are successful is because of team chemistry or veteran presence. But i do believe it is more important than what ppl on this board believe it to be. You can go ahead and believe in one person but I still believe that if the general concensus among sports writers and players is that veteran presence is important, then it most be important. Again i dont think a team can not not win without veteran presence or team chemistry but i still think it helps a team become successful.

After Coghlan's recent object lesson there shouldn't be any question his importance to this team. That's why he's here. yeah and people on here say veteran presence and team chemistry are overrated Right, I'm sure glad Hanley is taking advice from the almighty Wes Helms. I don't know what we would do without him. umm i never said any of the players benefited from veteran presence talent wise. As you probably already know, baseball is a mental game. you can completely screw yourself up mentally and end up struggling on the field for that reason. Veterans help players in the mental part of the game. For example, when a player is in a major slump and believes that there is no way to get out of it, a veteran can come in and give them some advice on the situation since they have been there before. Of course, not all players need their hand held but still it helps those who need it.
