June 5, 200717 yr It was a nice win. It seems like we can never hit hudson, so I was very pleased we won. This puts us in a decent position to win the series.
June 5, 200717 yr Coming into this game I didn't think we had much of a chance with the pitching matchup. Good win.
June 5, 200717 yr It would be huge if we can take 2 out of the next 3. It closes the gap between us and the braves, and puts us at 30-31. The best part is after this series 15 of the next 21 games are at home.

The best part is after this series 15 of the next 21 games are at home. I wish it wasn't so, but if you check the stats, that hasn't exactly been a good thing for the Marlins this year. We are one of the few teams with a losing home record. :banghead But I know what you mean. Hopefully they can turn around that home record this homestand. :thumbup I didn't know Boog did games for Turner South. Yes, he is a turncoat. I refuse to listen to his radio program anylonger, and I wish others did as well. He could have been the Marlins lead announcer, but turned us down. The Marlins gave him a chance and he has turned on them, and going to all teams the HATED Braves. That is disgusting. Why the hell is he still on the radio in South Fla if he doesn't want to do games here ? I wish he would just go away....a turncoat. Sorry to sound unreasonable and childish but this really burns my butt !!!!! :mad :mad :mad
June 5, 200717 yr Well we won, I like that Benitez hasn't given up a run or has showed any signs yet of being unreliable, but then again it's only been 3 innings. Offense seems to be getting it (3BB's off of Hudson), but for gods sakes can we please put hanly back in the leadoff spot :confused
June 5, 200717 yr Loved this game, nothing like beating the Braves at Turner Field. :marlins The Braves color guy was annoying as hell. Joe Simpson can get prissy.

June 5, 200717 yr Or maybe he wanted to be the Marlins TV play-by-play man rather than working radio. Boog was offered the TV job Rich Waltz now holds. He left for ESPN and the radio gig on 790. I believe Boog is holding out in Atlanta for the Mets job to ever open. He wants to work the Mets games badly. FSN South/SportSouth hired him to work the Braves games and I believe that the biggest reason Boog went is he likely knew the head of FSN South which used to run FSN Florida. I don't have an issue with Boog working the Braves, but his differences with the Marlins Front Office should not influence the fact he does good work.
June 5, 200717 yr great win because you had to look at that game as a longshot. makes the doubleheader tomorrow much easier going in. The bats really came alive with men on tonight.
June 5, 200717 yr I come back from a 5 day vacation, and when I turn on the Marlins game...I see Armando Benitez pitching. What a pickup. GO FISH!
June 5, 200717 yr my question for Olivo is when is he going to understand not to swing at the first pitch. He always swins at the first expecting to hit a HR on a fastball but every pitcher and catcher know that and they throw him a breaking ball. The moron still goes after it.
June 5, 200717 yr I dont really like Wes but he did a nice job considering he was going on three days rest. If we take both games tomorrow.....I might be the happiest guy in the world.
June 5, 200717 yr I'd be very happy with a split in this series vs the Braves. I am now in a believer in all things Aaron F'n Boone.
