September 18, 200520 yr I've done this twice before and the fish won both times, it's time to do it a 3rd time. I guarantee a Marlins victory tonight, we will win this game. Bank on it. I liken this to NLCS Game 5, some... most feeling the fish were done because it's 3-1 Cubs and to the hill goes #21, Josh Beckett. What happens? 5-0 CG Shutout and back to Wrigley. People always focus on Bartman as the reason we won the series but guess what there never is a Game 6 without Beckett's tremendous performance in Game 5 with our backs to the wall. There's not one man I'd want on that hill tonight other than Josh. When your back is to the wall, you bring out your top gun and regardless of season or career stats -- Josh Beckett is our top gun. Enjoy the win tonight, folks. My 1st Guarantee My 2nd Guarantee
September 18, 200520 yr Not gonna happen, bub :santa (no idea what that emoticon has to do with anything)
September 18, 200520 yr Too little too late?? We can still get to the postseason, but there's 0 room for error now. We need to start winning some games.
September 18, 200520 yr Admin....is this one I can bring to the bank...uh, book.....you know what I mean.
September 18, 200520 yr Author I didn't like those F Jerseys but I almost wish we wore them tonight just to bring back some magic from NLCS Game 5 Link Coincidentally Dontrelle started the game that put us on the brink then too... more similarities
September 18, 200520 yr I trust Beckett to get the win tonight, it's AJ Burnett in the following game I don't trust to get the team a win.
September 18, 200520 yr Author I really like comparing this to NLCS Game 4. True Dontrelle got lit up then and pitched well yesterday but... Dontrelle start puts us on brink of elimination for Sunday game and the starter, Josh Beckett. Quotes from after Dontrelle was losing pitcher in NLCS Game 4: "I think if you go back through the record book, there are a lot of teams that have come back,'' McKeon said. "You can't give up.'' "I wouldn't want to count us out yet,'' Willis said. "We've climbed out of tougher holes than this.'' Needing only one more win to make the World Series in 1984, they blew a 2-0 lead to San Diego in the best-of-five NLCS. Marlins manager Jack McKeon was the Padres' general manager that year, by the way. So would he give these Marlins a little history lesson Sunday? "I might do it,'' he said.
September 18, 200520 yr Difference between the strech run and NLCS- no help from billy goats. 951854[/snapback] Maybe help from philly cheese steaks? :lol
September 18, 200520 yr Admin testing the powers of Rasheed? Again? Lets do this! 952281[/snapback] It's the power of Mark Messier. Sheed is just a copycat.
