June 3, 201214 yr Marlins take the series against the Phiilies thanks to a strong game at the mound and plate from Big Z! W: Zambrano (4-3) L: Blanton (4-6) S: Bell (12) 2B: Reyes (12) HR: Zambrano (1); Ramirez (11) Day off tomorrow and then a big series at home against the Braves! I'll be there Tuesday with some Braves fans, lol.
June 3, 201214 yr Carlos is Beast of the day and it's not even close and Bell is now a GOAT closer lol
June 3, 201214 yr We are in first place now. We'll never catch the division leaders with our slow start.
June 3, 201214 yr Zambrano. No question asked. 7 perfect innings. Hit a home run, bunted a single and touched home plate twice.
June 3, 201214 yr And they took this series rather routinely, the way you should with a last place team if you are a first place team.
June 3, 201214 yr first place bitches. btw, can we stop rooting for the braves to beat the nats? braves will be on top come end of season
June 3, 201214 yr braves series tue: hudson vs. sanchez wed: delgado vs. jj thur: minor vs. buehrle we should be able to take 2/3, and a sweep is not out of the question. GOGOGO

June 3, 201214 yr Just got back from the game. Phillies fans are such assholes. All game long I just pointed at the scoreboard. AWESOME WIN. Big Z was DEALING
June 3, 201214 yr Braves beat the Nats, so we are now tied for 1st! Well, if you want to split hairs, the Marlins are still 0.03 out of first place in the "percentage wins" column -- having played two more games than the Nationals. None of the Standings will list them in first place tonight. Nice win though -- could have so easily have been a sweep too, which bodes well going forward.
June 3, 201214 yr If we don't take 2/3 from Atlanta it would be a disappointment. My dad is a huge Braves fan so it's nice to rub it in his face when we upend them.
June 3, 201214 yr It's times like these when I wish TBS was nothing still, and just have Braves games and re-runs. Noooo...CONAN, Tyler Perry, other comedies, and sh*t on now...and then golden shows like Big Bang and Cougar Town. Oh, we have back to back Sat games on FOX at night against the Rays this month...I dunno how.
June 3, 201214 yr Zambrano for Volstad. Best trade ever? Only in hindsight -- it was quite a gamble, albeit a low risk one given the Cubs are paying most of his salary. The Marlins were willing to take a chance, but had no idea if Zambrano would turn it around this quickly and this well. I've seen a lot of Cubs fan bitterness about the "Zambrano for Volstad" thing, but that's not really what happened. The Cubs just wanted to get the problematic Zambrano out of there, and decided, for whatever reason, that they would try to make a project of Volstad in return -- they weren't really look at it as an equal value trade -- Volstad was just a freebie the Marlins tossed in there. BTW: Here's a nice column on what Volstad is up to these days: http://cubbiescrib.c...-not-mlb-ready/ Same old, it seems.

There was no sign of Volstad improving, Big Z's worst season ever was basically as good as Volstad had ever been from his first full season, and Z was only one year removed from a 3.33 ERA. Not mentioning the salary thing. That was about as low risk-high reward as I've ever seen.
