July 25, 200422 yr It's a miracle we're still in the race... The team needs to get themselves together if they want to seriously contend, the fact that they have trouble against the AAA Expos is not a good sign. Get together & make whatever move we have to make to stay in this thing
July 25, 200422 yr Things will sort themselves out. Just chill, enjoy the upcoming games, the conventions, and the upcoming NBA, NHL, NFL and College Football seasons. Baseball is a lifestyle, learn to live with it.
July 25, 200422 yr i'm surprised that our wins and losses are actually in the same number column. i agree, it's felt a lot worse.
July 25, 200422 yr I wish, I wish, I wish we had Carlos Beltran. 474002[/snapback] Their are cheaper players to be had that can match his OBP. The marlins need bullpen help in Villone who would be a better option. They should also be looking into Lidle and Adams as a starter/relief help
July 25, 200422 yr Scratch that Adams is a Red Sox. He would have been a nice addition to THe Marlins with some of their SP injury woes and could get the job done in the pen.
July 25, 200422 yr MLB teams are salivating over Pavano and Benitez. Marlins clubhouse pressure is at an all time high. Could be an ugly scene next week. . .
July 25, 200422 yr thank god were in the east one bat is not our solution, were just straight up underacheievers
July 25, 200422 yr 18 wins since May 31st seems just right for this team right now. Tonight pretty much summed up how the Marlins have played during much of that stretch. No hitting with RISP, and Castillo and Lowell both strike out looking in the 9th down by 4 runs. On top of that, the usually reliable defense let us down big time. The Expos, the EXPOS, without their best player, capitalized on every opportunity tonight. The reality of it is that the Marlins really weren't hitting much during the 30-20 stretch to start the season, but they did the little things and found ways to win just like last season. I'm sorry, but 2 of our top guys looking at third strikes in the 9th inning and a catcher failing to step on home on a force play are signs of a .500 team AT BEST. It's not over yet, but they better hurry up 'cause the Braves and Phillies have room for improvement as well.
