Wow guys, we're slacking...I had to start a GT 1 hour before the game!

The Marlins were foiled in their attempt to accomplish something they hadn't done yet this year ?-- win three series in a row.

After taking two of three from the Giants at Dolphin Stadium last week, then beginning this current three-city western road trip with a sweep at Colorado, Florida will look to salvage its three-game series in San Francisco on Wednesday after dropping the first two games.

 

Dontrelle Willis will try to turn things around in the finale, and although he's pitched well in his last four starts, history is not on his side.

 

In three career starts six miles across San Francisco Bay from his hometown of Alameda, Calif., Willis has lasted a total of nine innings, going 0-2 with a 17.00 ERA.

 

Pitching matchup

FLA: LHP Dontrelle Willis (2-6, 4.72 ERA)

After posting a season-high 6.22 ERA, Willis has lowered it considerably in his last four starts.

 

SF: RHP Jamey Wright (5-4, 4.20 ERA)

Wright is pitching on three days' rest after tossing eight innings of five-hit ball on Saturday at Shea Stadium.

 

Player to watch

Josh Willingham has homered in two straight games and now shares the team lead with Miguel Cabrera with nine roundtrippers.

Hammer with a stiff back . Scratched from lineup. That explains it. Interesting that Reggie has not started the past 2 games.

What kind of pitcher is Wright? Hittable?

Watching the Giants celebrate after that K makes me throw up :barf .

What kind of pitcher is Wright? Hittable?

 

Looking at his game log, he has been absolutely amazing or absolutely dreadful, no in between.

You are way too doom and gloom.

Wright volunteered?

 

No clue but its due to those extra inning games against the mets.

Does anyone else get pumped up for these games? I keep telling myself they mean nothing but I cant help getting nervous.

 

Force out. 1 down.

I get really frustrated when we lose even though we are suppose to.
