September 14, 200619 yr We got a long road trip, Braves, Phillies, & Mets, our bullpen is on shambles and I think our morale has been beaten down with these 2 loses. Should we just ride it out and say we just overachieved annd just ran out of gas? this 2 loses really hurt man, we could of won at least 1 of them if not 2, I've lost all hope...
September 14, 200619 yr If the terrible start the Marlins got off to this season didn't break team morale I doubt the last two losses change anything. I think they'll bounce back in Atlanta.
September 14, 200619 yr No way are we done! We are only 3 back. This team has been against the wall before it even stepped its foot on the baseball field in the spring. This team has shown its resilience time and again. This team is scary because they want it. Sure we can use a CF, RF, and some more relievers, but imo teams that want it are the scariest.
September 14, 200619 yr Author It pisses me off the the FO didn't get an extra arm when they had a chance, fine, keep the CF experiment till the end of the season but we needed the arms after Kensing and Martinez went into the DL.
September 14, 200619 yr This season cant end like this. There is no reason why this team cant win the WC. It will be tough but I believe they can.
September 14, 200619 yr i agree...we are not done for. And either way, we can't approach it like that. I said it in July, everything we do from here on out is just a bonus...we COULD go 0-16 in the final 16 and I would feel damn proud of this team for their accomplishments. That being said Atlanta is playing for nothing right now and by the time the Mets series comes around they will have the division wrapped up, so really we are looking at 7 games that we need to take 5-6 out of the 7 to be in the race...if we can't take 5 or 6 here, our hopes of playing past OCT 1 are slim to none.
September 14, 200619 yr In my 21 years I have learned something and that is that no matter how bad it seems to achieve a goal you should never give up. :thumbup
September 14, 200619 yr never give up, ever. we have nothing to lose which is exactly why we keep pushing each and every day.
September 14, 200619 yr we can't drop back further than three games. we have to keep winnning and hope the teams ahead of us lose every now and then.
September 14, 200619 yr Wow talk about Negative ! :thumbdown People like salami scare me . That was the first rule my Mom and Pop taught me, and the first rule I taught my Boys . NEVER QUIT . second was wipe from front to back :lol sorry bad joke
September 14, 200619 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K92OVFeGgIE They don't still use that clip for the bottom of the 9th when we're losing, do they? My memory is a little fuzzy.

September 14, 200619 yr Salami are you serious? This thread is a major DISRESPECT you dont come into a Marlins forum and post is the season over because they lost 2 games im suprised this thread hasnt been deleted. If you claim to be a Marlins fan you dont do something like this just because you dont have faith doesnt mean were done THINK next time before you make a thread like this.
September 14, 200619 yr Of course we're not technically done due to not being mathematically eliminated, but our chances of making the wild card are bleak at best. We're 3.5 games behind a hot team (San Diego is 15-7 in their last 22 games). There are 2 more teams between us and first, with 2 right behind us. Our closer has an ERA of 5.87 in his last 17 outings and 4 blown saves in the last 9 outings. The rest of the bullpen, besides Tankersley who I don't trust yet, are not MLB calibur. We also have the toughest schedule of any of the contenders for the WC spot. Now I really really really hope we make the playoffs. It would be an insanely awesome accomplishment and I love watching this team play. But I'm going to temper my expectations until I see us in first place.

September 14, 200619 yr What kind of thread is this?! NO, WE ARE NOT DONE! This must have been started by a fairweather fan.
September 14, 200619 yr This kind of talk has to wait for the end of the weekend. Any more than 2 games out then and you have to start looking in the mirror then, not quite yet.
September 15, 200619 yr Baseball players typically bounce back from tough losses much quiker than fans do (I sure hope so because Ive been walking around muttering to myself for the past 48 hours). Based on our upcoming schedule and our horrific bullpen I think were done though in terms of the wild card. I wont go over all of the highly insurmountable things were up against following Tue/Wed nites losses. Will I still watch every game for rest of the year? You bet your azz I will because I love the Marlins and as far as Im concerned this year has been 50 times better than 2004/2005.
September 15, 200619 yr I know where you can stick your first thought Can I shine it up real nice, then turn that sumbitch sideways?
