Game Thread Record: 6-4, 5-3 in 2009

4 back of the division, 3 back of the wild card. We are shaping up well at the moment.

Need to keep this streak up.

MiamiFan with the Win Streak!

 

I'm trying to go to all 3 games and I'm hoping for another sweep and the Phills to lose 2 of 3.

 

Tomorrow could to be a sluggfest with Moehler and RVH pitching so we got to play strong defense score early like we have been.

This is the 6th series in a row where we take on a team that's won it's previous series.

But we won I believe 4 of the 6 previous series' and we should make it 5 out of 7.

We better rip moehler tonight.

We better rape moehler tonight.

 

Fixed.

Tonights game is going to be a crazy high-scoring affair, should be fun

If by high-scoring affair you mean us winning 18-2, then yes, it should be fun.

We just need to keep within ourselves and get tonight's game which could set the tone to take 3 of 4...

I'll be at the game tonight. Right behind home plate in section 149!!! Im sooo excited!!!

 

Anybody knows what time batting practice starts?

First time Hermida bats 8th, correct?

Ah, time for my favorite series of the year.

 

 

 

I've always wanted to ask you this. Who do you root for more, the Astros or Marlins?

It's kinda crappy but it's also really fun to watch my teams battle it out. But it's especially sh*tty when both teams are in the race and whatever happens it hurts one of them. It was probably the best in 2007 when both teams were sh*t so one extra loss didn't really matter.

 

Ah, time for my favorite series of the year.

 

 

 

I've always wanted to ask you this. Who do you root for more, the Astros or Marlins?

I root for the Fish more. Much more, actually. But the Stros were my childhood team and I still root for them. During the series I try to just enjoy the games for baseball games, but I am pulling for the Fish a bit more.
