Will update later when lineups come out. Hopefully. Because I am indeed headed to this game tomorrow!

 

Here's hoping for a little more success than Opening Day.

GO FISH

CHEER FOR VICTORY!!!

GO FISH!

Do you have a ten?

 

 

GO FISH!!!

I wonder if Ruggi will get the start with a lefty on the mound?

He should be getting the start.

 

Plus, it's not like Coghlan gave any compelling reason to stay in the lineup, even if it was just one game.

Ruggiano is starting - was mentioned Monday or Sunday.

c'mon Kevin Slowey

 

 

 

let's see here... what's Gio got, like 40 wins over the past two years?

 

his one slight weakness of walking batters countered by our lineup of guys who won't take a walk.

 

 

eh we got this! and go Ruggs!

Checking in -- let's go fish!!!

Stanton, go deep young man, go deep.

And hopefully Polanco remembers how to run bases.

At least the marlins are only a +215 dog for this game (still the biggest dog by a fair margin). Opening day they were +230.

Miguel Olivo: 'I have pop, and I'm here'

I smell victory. I just hope it's the smell of Marlins cologne and not Nats rat spray.

Heading out to the metro now!

 

See ya guys on the flip side.

 

Look for a college kid in a black Marlins shirt and possibly an orange snapback. I will likely be the only one meeting this description at the entire park.

so, what should we expect from slowey this year, if he is healthy, could he shut them out?

probably a perfect game with 19 ks

I think that is highly unlikely. I think one of those fly balls will fall for a hit. so I'm thinking it will just be a complete game shutout.

Only once in a generation does a team come together so well that they become pure sports perfection. Who needs Jose Reyes, Bonifacio, Buehrle, JJ, or any other of those deadbeats when we have awesome world renown players like Olivo, Polanco, and Kotchman. Loria did say the trade would make us winners, and boy was he right. I'm sure we must be the envy of the whole MLB...and for that matter the whole sports industry.

 

Now excuse me while I go take some more of those pills I found in a mystery bottle underneath the seat of my friend's 1964 VW Bus. For some reason they make me feel particularly happy and optimistic...

Marlins will make The Nats a little bitch tonight. Watch and see. Hear that ESPN?

 

 

-_-....

The game is on ESPN?
