August 13, 200321 yr Author 5. Marlins 2, Diamondbacks 1 - July 29. The Marlins get the largest crowd of the season as the D-Train defeats Randy Johnson on a national broadcast. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gam...ameId=230729128 The day Dontrelle defeated Johnson was July 30 and the score was 3-1. But you did get the score right for Tuesday, July 29. Alright, thanks, I fixed it.

August 13, 200321 yr what about the game that the marlins won against the reds when dontrelle hit a 400ft bomb?
August 13, 200321 yr Impressive list. Only thing I would change is the 5-4 win over the Braves on Mordecai's homer. I thought that was the third best game of the year, behind the Boston game and last night's game.

I thought that was the third best game of the year, behind the Boston game and last night's game. Unfortunately I did not get to see that game. Believe it or not, I was in Atlanta that day but the game was on Turner South and my hotel did not get that station. I was following it on the BBTN bottomline ticker, though!
August 14, 200321 yr Time to make it top 19! Another game-winning home run from Mini-Hulk! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy
August 14, 200321 yr Time to make it top 19! Another game-winning home run from Mini-Hulk! lol i was just about to post it
August 14, 200321 yr Hey Castillo you gonna change your avator to Mordi, now? lol...yea im not disloyal to louie or ray...but it seems to be lucky :shifty
August 14, 200321 yr was anyone at the marlins game last night? if you were sitting on the 1st base sideline lower deck. as soon as the pitcher let go of the ball for some reason i just got this feeling and i said, " mordecai's going yard" and the weird thing was that he did. another great game he went too. todays game is gonna be badass too
August 14, 200321 yr im assuming these are the most exciting wins...because i attended an exciting loss. (Willis vs. Braves' Ramirez..13 inning loss with Almanza giving up HR to Furcal) But another exciting game was when Willis (before the Mania) pitched 7 shutout innings against the A's. We won 2-0, but Nunez came in in the 8th, and put men on 2nd and 3rd with 0 out. Looper came in without giving up a run, and then closed out the 9th...awesome game...Looper got a standing O.
August 14, 200321 yr 9. Marlins 20, Braves 1 - June 30. Marlins set a new franchise record for runs and hits in a game while scoring in every inning but one. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=230701128 Best birthday gift I got that day was the 8-1 win, the 20-1 massacre was the 1st of July. Bset gift of course, being I only got three.
August 14, 200321 yr yea, Loop bailed us out big time in that game its so funny thinkin about how long ago that seemed. Pudge was batting .250 and got booed after striking out.
