That's a mighty big blck hole at the bottom of the lineup.

Hey, Marlon! How about a break-out game?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is a Big Game ™.

--Series on the Line
---->Win, and we'll have won all our series in July

--We need Florida down there as far we can put them so they can knock off Philadelphia without gaining too close to us

--Last major league appearance ever for Marlon Anderson

--POTMs on the line for Big Pelf, Delgado

--Win would get us to the 10-games-over plateau for the forst time all year

--Hafta win while Phils play Gnats

--Long time till Friday nite in Houston

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, so we turned 2-on, none out into 1 run in the 1st (DP by Wright) and 2 on, 1 out in the second into nothing (DP by The Schneid).

Schneid = Truly awful this year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Can't wait till Manny gets to Miami and teaches these guys how to play the game right.

[TransMonk]

3 innings, 3 double plays

[metirish]

I wonder when I see Cantu at the plate how he can see anything he has the batting helmet pulled so low.

[TransMonk]

WTF, Mike? 5 hits in the 4th, 3 for extra bases.

4-1 Dicks

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I blame Rick Peterson.

[metirish]

And by the bottom of the order hitters , Marlins having a laugh now.

[TransMonk]

And another extra base hit and run.

[TransMonk]

A good team could come back and win this one.

Where are you, O?

[Benjamin Grimm]

And the Phillies have just put up a 5 in Washington and now lead 7-3.

[stevejrogers]

EASY DOES IT!

KABOOM!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Keith: 2-0 here, gotta take a shot at one and get it close again.

Gary: Easley played here before, he knows the best place to park one is that left field corner with the short fence.

(pitch)

Easley: Hits one into the left field corner over that short fence.

[Frayed Knot]

Well that woke me out of my funk

That was a great set up and Easley played his part.

[stevejrogers]

Time to hold down the fort Sanchez!

Hey LuGo!

[stevejrogers]

The Vulcan Changeup.

Thats a new one

[stevejrogers]

Okay Carlos, VAMOS! VAMOS!

[Frayed Knot]

Odd that Jacobs was double-switched out for no apparent reason.
There's speculation about a trade with him for Benji Molina.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fug

[Frayed Knot]

Well that fucked that come-back

Easy on the street spanish there, Rogers.

[bmfc1]

C'mon Omar--the bullpen is killing his team.

[metirish]

These Marlins seem to love beating the Mets , maybe more than any other team.

[TransMonk]

Even their announcers are a little too proud about it.

Err I really hate knee-jerk, late July trades for relief pitchers. Flukiest position in the sport and there's always going to overpayment at this point in the season.

[Frayed Knot]

Castro's tying run -- gotta run for him.

[Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker]

C'mon Jose!!
