It's Friday the 13th....Expect the Unexpected

 

Ramp's prediction: 13-5 Marlins....Encarnacion, Lowell, Lee and Pudge go yard in the Marlins rout of the Rangers

I say 11-3 Marlins

 

HR: Lowell , Pudge , Lee

Gotta take advantage of these teams. Rangers have lost 9 of 10 and this is the pitcher's first start.

Will's Prediction- :pimp

 

 

Brad Penny will bounce back from bad outing last Sunday vs. Anaheim, and pitch 7 strong innings. The Marlins hitters will take advantage of Mounce's first MLB start and ring him up for 12 runs.

 

 

 

HOMERUNS FROM

 

 

 

LOWELL (2) , PUDGE, LEE

41-0 Marlins .

 

In Reality: 12-2 Marlins. Homeruns By- Juan Encarnacion (2, 3 run shots) Pudge (Grand Slam). and a Solo Shot Mike Lowell

 

:cool

41-0 Marlins .

I'll take it! I think we're going to have a fun easy win tonight.

6-1 marlins

 

I think Penny will bounce back from his last start and give us 8 strong innings.

Penny will go 7 inning 4 hits 9 K's 1 walk and 1 run allow.

Josh's Prediction :king : 8-3 Marlins

 

Penny has a great game, and we rock the Rangers youngster hard and early...

start of game will be delayed due to rain....

 

and then when it does start, their will be a ceremony honoring Pudge, so expect a delay there

nice to see Ramon and Banks playing tonight

Alright! Castro and Banks playing today...this is our best possible power lineup. I hope we can put a few in the seats today and some runs on the scoreboard.

any idea or word on a start time?

the rain has stopped and players are beginning to warm up!

Almost time to play ball then. w00t!

my prediction is 6-4 marlins

Will this be on TV?

Will this be on TV?

FSN when it's on

ok, we're now close to the first pitch. the tarp is off the field and they're currently honoring pudge

damn look how dark that sky is. it looks like there is more rain on the way

GAME ON!

Juan Pierre leads off the game with a single up the middle....GOOD START!

 

Luis Castillo....singles into LF....JP to 2nd....

 

Pudge is up....the crowd is going crazy!....behind 0-2...strikes out swinging on 3 pitches....welcome back

Mike Lowell w/2 on, 1 out...behind 0-2...strike 2 was outside...*brb walking dog*

Goddamn you Pudge, you are terrible and a waste of $10 million. Learn to hit a curve ball. What a waste.

We should try some double steals. It would be pretty cool and exciting and could work. Castillo has not been sent as much as he should be!

3-2 on lowell and.......

 

please be a 2 run double

 

and it is.......

 

a...........

 

f*** he struck out
