Player to watch:

Mike Lowell, who smacked his 19th home run Friday night, is expected to be used as the designated hitter on Saturday. Manager Jack McKeon sees giving the third baseman a breather in the field. Lowell remains hot at the plate, going 2-for-5 with two RBIs. Will their be a Fox sighting tonight?

Luis Castillo, Mike Lowell, Alex Gonzalez, Derrek Lee, and Andy Fox

 

Ramp thinks tonight will be a slugfest, Fish 13 Rangers 10

:marlins i just hope they win.

Josh's Prediction :king : 7-1 MARLINS!!!

 

I don't expect Mike Lowell to have the big offensive night, but Derrek, Pudge, and Alex...

 

They are going to kill them tonight...

8-5 marlins phelps and valdes both get rocked

I'm not sure about Tommy tonight...

 

It seems as if he will either get rocked, or do amazing. No in-between...

Will's Prediction :pimp :

 

 

 

Phelps gets rocked around for 5 runs threw 4 innings, but the Marlins still win with help from homeruns from, DLEE, PUDGE and SEA BASS,

 

 

Marlins 10 Rangers 7

Ramp thinks tonight will be a slugfest, Fish 13 Rangers 10

Talking in the third person now, are we?

Bob Dole would like that.

God, I hate that Bob Dole!

 

Us Clinton's are not very friendly with the Dole's...

 

We don't even buy their fruit products!

Ramp thinks tonight will be a slugfest, Fish 13 Rangers 10

Talking in the third person now, are we? Ramp nods his head...

Ramp wants to know why you have a problem with it :cool

I hate it when people talk in the third person...

 

I think it's annoying as hell...

there is a Fox sighting, and the Banks are open on the weekends in Arlington

The Banks should be open for the rest of the season...

 

He has produced very well in the starters role. Better than TH, anyway...

Juan Gonzalez back in the lineup for Texas. We need the bats to be hot again tonight!

Juan Gon? Who cares...

 

It's all A-Gonzo tonight...

GAMETIME!
