August 5, 200521 yr As of today, the next 21 games are ALL against teams under .500. Every single game. Now is the time.
August 5, 200521 yr Let me guess, we must win all 21 or the season is over? :mischief Go Fish! Go run off some wins
August 5, 200521 yr For all the grief involved with this week's games, we did split a series in St. Louis which isn't exactly the easiest thing in the world. Now let's take the fight to the dregs of the NL!
August 5, 200521 yr we really do need to go about 16-5 but i'd like 18-3. fact is schedule is tough after this and we need a run now, because its gonna be much harder down the final stretch.
August 5, 200521 yr Let me guess, we must win all 21 or the season is over? :mischief Go Fish! Go run off some wins 889660[/snapback] If we go 20-1 ill be SO pissed off...fire Jack and just release everyone :plain
August 5, 200521 yr Let me guess, we must win all 21 or the season is over? :mischief Go Fish! Go run off some wins 889660[/snapback] :notworthy
August 5, 200521 yr 16-5 or somewhere about there would delightful...usually this time of year the marlins get like a 7-8 winning streak going and this is the time, no excuses...lets make the rest of the national league drown in fear, for this is the time of the marlins
August 5, 200521 yr The doubleheader in Colorado are the two most important of the upcoming games because everyone else of any importance in the wildcard has the day off. Assuming the Cincy series goes well, sweeping in Colorado puts us back in the thick of things as we get back to parity (in games played) with the other teams in the hunt.
August 5, 200521 yr Let me guess, we must win all 21 or the season is over? :mischief Go Fish! Go run off some wins 889660[/snapback] lose one and pack our bags and go home
August 5, 200521 yr we really do need to go about 16-5 but i'd like 18-3. fact is schedule is tough after this and we need a run now, because its gonna be much harder down the final stretch. 889672[/snapback] How about just wining each series?
August 5, 200521 yr Simmer down, let's focus on each series and go for series wins. :marlins 889736[/snapback] as skipper jack says....series are more important that winning 12 in a row....now who the hell am I kidding....GO GET'EM FISH!!!
August 5, 200521 yr Sorry to be bursting everybody's bubble but: - All but TWO non-NL East teams are at or below .500. And with most games in August taking place out of division, that means the Braves, Nationals, Mets, and Phillies will also be playing a lot of sub-.500 teams. - We get to face these teams in our division throughout September while the Astros get to beat up on the dreds of their division. In fact, their schedule this month doesn't look that hard either. The Marlins need to keep winning and they should be able to do so against the teams they're facing. But so should the people whom they need to lose. Anyway, Cinci and Colorado are a start and it would be really nice to take four of these five.
August 5, 200521 yr If the Marlins won 21, can we ban Arnie and all the other people if they make a negative thread at the end of the roadtrip?
August 5, 200521 yr I'll be quite happy going 3-2 over the next 5 away games. These are still away games, and we don't have AJ going in any of them, and Beckett's start in Colorado is kind of a wasted start for him, as his off speed stull will not be as effective a mile high. Our 5 starters are Vargas, Willis, Moeller, Beckett, and Valdez. Plus we're still a little dinged up. I'm concerned about the Colorado DH. On paper it looks like juicy pickings for us, but it's a trap situation. . . . The time to really make our move is the 13 game homestand coming up against the weak NL West. 10-3 or better is very possible, and needed. Hopefully we'll be back to full health, and our pitching sets up nice, with 5 out of the 13 games started by AJ or Beckett.
August 5, 200521 yr Lets get ready to rumble! I predict 15-6 over the next 21 Time to make our stand and people go wow.
August 5, 200521 yr we need better than 3-2 in these games, we need to go 4-1 to stay with the pack, overall it will be nice to win 7 of the next 10 huh, then we wont be farther than .5- 1.5 games away from the WC
