August 20, 200521 yr AJ is now the Marlins all-time leader in wins and Jack also is now the all-time leader in managerial wins. Both milestones reached tonight :thumbup . Congrats AJ and Jack.
August 20, 200521 yr The fans at the game gave AJ a huge, and I mean HUGE, THUNDEROUS standing ovation tonight when he left the mound, and he returned the favor by giving us a tip of the cap. I wonder if he had any second thoughts regarding his cheap shot comments the other day about fan support as he walked into the dugout?

He said that they are the best in the game the ones who come out.
August 20, 200521 yr You have to admit, being the all-time Marlins win leader isn't something you can really hang your hat on. I mean, Chris Hammond has 60 career wins.
August 20, 200521 yr Congrats to them both. It seems it's a curse once you become the all-time winner for the Marlins because then you leave. Happened to Dempster, Penny and more than likely with AJ.
August 20, 200521 yr Met A.J. yesterday at the Hard Rock, was hanging out there with Carl Pavano, really classy guy.
August 20, 200521 yr Jack McKeon has been amazing for this team, and dispite the comments from many angered fans during losing streaks, I hope he will stay for as long as possible. Before Dr. McKeon came on board the Marlins had but a SINGLE Season with a record above the .500 mark, and now we are on our way to picking up our third in a row. AJ Burnett had mentioned that he wishes to test the free agent market during this offseason, this is his choice. The Marlins decided to keep him, and AIM for the best with this season, and let him go when the time comes. Since that decision was made, he has won 7 in a row. Maybe sometime in the near future, we can see a Josh Becket, or a Dontrelle Willis face AJ for his own record. Congrats to both, good luck with the season, and hopefully, many more. - TW
August 20, 200521 yr Someone said that its a curse to have the record because we lose the pitcher after but its not it is just common sense. After 50 wins or so these players are many years into their carrer meaning that they would be free agent eligible and the marlins would not of had the money to sign the player. Thus they let him go and he pitches for someone else
