MarlinFan10 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I'd go with a 5 game sweep, but the fish haven't played last place teams well. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishywishy Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I'm concerned. The expos have been playing a lot better and roughed us up in key series. I keep thinking about how if the last couple series with them were reversed, we'd have the WC lead.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fritz Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I just want to win the series. Friggin' last place teams love kicking our asses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I agree ... dont get so confident here, the expos have been playing really well and showing that at least they are trying ... they gave the cubs a run for their money in chicago, the battled well against the braves and the same thing against the phills   careful ... lets take it one game at the time  also ... can we rest some players for this series  maybe lowell, dookie, conine, and castillo ... give some guys some playing time. Mordy looked like me facing randy johnson in his sole PH appearance, I wouldnt want that to happen if he to play a full game or come up later on in a tough situation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyFan Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 If we play like we have lately, we'll be fine. I say 4/5 atleast.....And is Logan pitching the second game of the double header again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accord Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 4 out of 5, the only game we'll lose is when Livan is pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Part of the Expos' success had been their ridiculous home record. Since getting past Puerto Rico they went on 10-3 tear at the Big O in Montreal. Although recently they've gone 5-8 at home, and just dropped three straight at Atlanta. Montreal is a team you can't take lightly. They have a good lineup and starters that will go deep in games and mask their less than stellar bullpen. We need to execute and manufacture runs. Lowell's power is down the second half. LoDuca is in his regular second half spiral. We can't wait on the home run. If we're going to win it's up to the entire order to pick up that clutch hit and drive in the runner from second.

OO Shaft Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm not taking the Expos lightly. They're playing good baseball, so I just hope the Marlins swing the bat good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Crap. Didn't realize this was a predictions thread. I had been avoiding these during our win streak. f---. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malman Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 LoDuca is in his regular second half spiral. We can't wait on the home run. 555206[/snapback] Man, you've got a real hard-on for LoDuca... Anybody know the pitching matchups vs. Montreal? Armas started today and Livan last night for the Expos. Livan threw 143 pitches in 6.1 innings of work. I think his arm might ready to fall off soon. :whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(well you can say that for every aspect of his managing, as the Livan throwing 140 + pitches example shows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyFan Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 According to a MLB.com article, Bump is the favorite with Ben Howard and David Weathers also being considered. No David weathers please. I really hope its either Bump or Howard. Either way the offense needs to step it up during this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Man Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 didnt we beat Livan on the 1st day of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasportsfan88 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I hate the expos pen, its not bad. A couple series back they hurt us, Ayalas a work horse and can go the 7th and 8th, or even 6th 7th and 8th, Cordero's a much better option for closer than Biddle, Eishen solid lefty. Patterson looked pretty good against us in his last start. IM going to say 3 out of 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsChik305 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 i say we go for 3 or 4 games. they can go for the sweep if they start playing better offense. its ok right now, but i havent seen a homerun for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
