Posted July 1, 200717 yr comment_913509 since today is july first....we have 54 games until september rolls around and were talkin crunch time.....therefore i think if the marlins can go 34-20 and get to 71-67 with 1 month to go we may have a shot and being in contention for maybe the wild card or division who knows....comments? 34-20 is gonna be tough but if we get healthy and play the way we are capable of it is not impossible at all
July 1, 200717 yr comment_913510 34-20 is gonna be tough but if we get healthy and play the way we are capable of it is not impossible at all Not impossible, but pretty damn improbable.
July 1, 200717 yr comment_913513 Why stop at 34-20? With the wealth of starting pitching, spot free defense and timely hitting, I don't see why we can't have the division clinched by Sept. 15th.
July 1, 200717 yr comment_913515 with 7 road games coming up vs. the Padres and Dodgers, I don't think they're going to have a very fast start to reach that 34-20
July 1, 200717 yr comment_913517 I would love to see 34-20, but I highly doubt it. I hope you are right.
July 1, 200717 yr comment_913520 I really think that if things comes together in 40 of our next 54 games we could go something like 40-14. lol
July 2, 200717 yr comment_913521 I really think that if things comes together in 40 of our next 54 games we could go something like 40-14. lol Sadly, that's the only kind of mentality that appears to be accepted on this board. Not really, it seems most the board is filled with pessimism. I admire this canuck's optimism, it most likely won't happen, but I prefer optmism to all the bickering pessimists this board has been flooded with.
July 2, 200717 yr comment_913522 Any kind of winning streak for me revolves around Ross getting back and healthy. He's just about the only guy on the roster that KILLS lefties (yeah, yeah, I know Hanley and Cabs' batting averages against LHP) and we just haven't been able to beat a lefty since, oh say, April.
July 2, 200717 yr comment_913523 i will need see marlins play better at home and on road and get to 500 before we talk about going 34-20 by sep

Not really, it seems most the board is filled with pessimism. I admire this canuck's optimism, it most likely won't happen, but I prefer optmism to all the bickering pessimists this board has been flooded with. I agree with Chewbacca on this one. There are many people here who have an absurdly pessimistic view but are the first ones to jump back on after a winning streak. Although I think it'll be damn hard to go 34-20 from here out, I'd love to see the Marlins make things interesting the second half of the season.
July 2, 200717 yr comment_913525 1-0... that being said, this team can't and won't do it...scratch that...they CAN and won't. They are completly capable of going 34-20 or 40-14, but the disipline is not there, sorry.
