January 1, 200917 yr In the Marlins' first 150 games of the year, they scored at least 14 runs in a game twice -- and lost both games. In the history of the franchise before that, they'd never lost a game in which they scored that many runs (19-0). On May 21, the Marlins beat a pitcher whose record for the year was 8-0 (Brandon Webb). Exactly two days later, they managed to LOSE to a pitcher who was 0-8 (Barry Zito).

Was one of those loses against the Braves in that game when Jorge Julio got the win? Such an entertaining game tho it resulted in an unfortunate result
January 1, 200917 yr I believe one of those games was against the Rockies on July 4. Yup. An 18-17 loss. We led 13-4 top 4th. Then the Rockies brought it back to 13-12 in the 6th. extended lead to 17-12 in top 7th. They hit a grandslam in the bottom 7th to make it 17-16. And then everyone's favorite closer blew it in the ninth.
January 1, 200917 yr I can't remember which game it was but I recall Tommy and Rich saying this was the first game all year the Marlins scored 14 runs in a game and won! It seemed like late August or early Sept. Also last year was the first time the Marlins had a pitcher win their MLB debut in relief (Volstad) that they didn't win the World Series. Only twice before had a relief pitcher won their debut in 97 Alfonseca and 03 Bump. I know useless fact!

Yeah there was actually two games in September where the Marlins scored 14 runs and actually won. Since you're saying that Tommy and Rich said it was the 1st game all year, that game was against the Houston Astros in which the Marlins won 14-2.

January 2, 200917 yr ? IN THE STARS DEPT.: While we're on the subject, poor Dan Uggla committed more errors on back-to-back pitches in the All Star Game (two) than he'd committed in the previous 2? months (one). Then again, it was that kind of night. Uggla crammed three errors, three strikeouts and a double-play groundout into FIVE INNINGS of the All Star Game -- a combination unmatched by any player in history in any regular-season, postseason or All-Star Game ever played. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/stor...mp;lid=tab4pos1

I mean aside from just the fact that all of that happened and it was embarassing for Dan and all, but the fact that so many ignorant fools blamed him for the NL losing the game when none of his errors resulted in any runs being scored.

Ugh, you don't know how many times I've argued this point! It might have not been his night, but he was not the sole reason that the NL lost.
