July 18, 200818 yr Last year. I still have that game on TiVo. Wasn't this in 2006 ? The Girardi year ? no, this game was last year against the Orioles, the Fredi Era. No, it's from 2006, the Girardi year. I know because I remember, and I am reassured because of this New York Times article about it: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/24/sports/b...rera.html?fta=y Joe Girardi, the former Yankees player and coach who is in his first season as the Marlins' manager, said he did not expect Cabrera to swing. "Yes, it did surprise me because I've never seen it," Girardi said. "I'm not sure I'll ever see it again, either." Girardi said he used to sit next to the Yankees' former coach Don Zimmer, who had many decades of baseball experience, and occasionally ask him after odd occurrences: "You ever see that?" and Zimmer would tell him no. "It worked out really well for us," Girardi added. "You've got to tip your hat to Miguel Cabrera for being ready."

July 18, 200818 yr That was one of the greatest game that I have ever seen. I believe Helms and Borchard went back to back to tie it up in the ninth. I thin it was Easley and Borchard...what a great game.

I thin it was Easley and Borchard...what a great game. BALTIMORE -- They may not yet be the "Miracle Marlins," but what this underdog team did Thursday night was downright miraculous. One out away from defeat in the ninth inning, the Marlins received back-to-back pinch-hit home runs by Joe Borchard and Wes Helms to force extra innings. Then in the 10th inning, Miguel Cabrera swatted an RBI single to center on what was supposed to be an intentional walk. The amazing string of events propelled Florida to an improbable 8-5 win over Baltimore at a stunned Camden Yards. Scotty was pitching...

Yeah, Easley hasn't been a Marlin in forever, but I was too lazy to prove it. Thanks.
