August 26, 200521 yr 1. Jason Vargas made the "Whos Hot"(along with Felix Hernandez and Huston Street...talking about rookie pitchers) 2. Todd Jones is mentioned in the "Music to Close By" blurb: Todd Jones, Marlins, 27 Saves, 1.15 ERA Glory Defined by Building 429 When he closed in Detroit from 97-01, Jones walked out to the Counting Crows' Mr. Jones. When he came to Florida in '05, he switched to the Christian rock group. "I figure I have a 30-second platform," says the church-going righty. "I might as well take advantage of it." 3. Pierre takes 39% of the vote, the most of anyone, in the SI players poll "Who is the most dangerous base runner in the major leagues?"(Ichiro got 20%, Carl Crawford 19%, and Podsednik 7%)...Pierre also got 47% of the votes from catchers. 4. And a short snippet in Inside Baseball: With an NL-best 2.80 ERA in August through Sunday, the Marlins may be getting hot at the right time. Their playoff push, however, will not be abetted by a soft schedule. Starting on Aug. 29, Florida plays its final 32 games against nothing but NL playoff contenders: the Cardinals, Mets, Nationals, Phillies, Astros, and Braves. Lots of Fish stuff this issue.
August 26, 200521 yr Todd Jones, Marlins, 27 Saves, 1.15 ERA Glory Defined by Building 429 When he closed in Detroit from 97-01, Jones walked out to the Counting Crows' Mr. Jones.? When he came to Florida in '05, he switched to the Christian rock group. "I figure I have a 30-second platform," says the church-going righty.? "I might as well take advantage of it." Very nice. :thumbup
August 26, 200521 yr You forget that they also talk about Hermida as a potential spark for our stagnant offense.
