Amazing What a Bullpen Can Do

by Matt Meltzer on April 22, 2011

My Booing muscles are starting to atrophy. Ever since I was a little kid, booing bad relief pitching has been a regular summer activity for me. As a kid growing up watching the Seattle Mariners, it wasn’t hard. And as an adult watching the Marlins – conveniently being gone the one year they made the [...]

The Marlins announced on Monday that they were less than a month away from announcing who would get the naming rights to the new stadium. Team President David “Makes me Ashamed to be an Ironman” Samson said that the deal was taking longer than expected because, “The most important details we’re talking about is the [...]

Because There’s Nothing Marlins Fans Wanna See More than The Orlando Magic

April 14, 2011

Josh Johnson flirted with the season’s first no-hitter Wednesday night. And as one of the few people in South Florida I know who actually follows the Marlins on a day-in, day-out basis, I thought it woulda been nice to actually see it on TV. In Hi-Def, maybe, since I do pay extra for that. But, [...]

Well, That’s The Last Time I Bitch About Hanley’s Defense

April 9, 2011

Alright, alright. Hanley made some errors. I can live with it. Seriously his defense isn’t THAT bad. I’ll take a few errors. You made your point. I won’t complain anymore. Hanely’s Injury As if on cue, Bill Hall slid low into the Marlins’ All Star shortstop attempting to break up a double play in the [...]

If I Were Josh Johnson, I’d Wanna Choke a Bitch

April 8, 2011

Well let’s see….The Marlins were playing the Nationals last night. And over the past few seasons the only team in DC that has lost more consistently to the same opponent is called the Generals. To say the Marlins own the Nats would be like saying China owns Tibet. If it weren’t’ for Jorge Julio, I’m [...]

I Don’t Go to Games on Wednesday By Myself to Stand on Line

April 8, 2011

So I headed out to the stadium again last night. By myself. Go ahead and laugh, or call me a loser, or pathetic or whatever. But I figured watching the game at SunLife would probably be quieter and more relaxing than it would be at home. It was a Wednesday game against the Nationals, you [...]

DONNY BLEEPIN’ MURPHY!

April 6, 2011

Last July Donny Murphy, the pride of Corona Centennial High School in California, had a walk off home run and a walk off hit in consecutive games to help the Marlins to a mid-season surge. Prompting Marlins TV Play-by-play man Rich Waltz to exclaim “Donny Bleeping Murphy!” after the second hit. He actually said “bleeping,” [...]

Marlins’ Weaknesses Apparent Early

April 3, 2011

Sun Life stadium was unusual last night. Firs of all, there was actually a crowd of over 30,000 last night. Which, when you actually have good seats and don’t have to worry about constantly being moved, is pretty cool. The chants of “Lets Go Mets” were actually drowned out by boos. Not something you typically [...]

Marlins Opening Day Optimism

April 1, 2011

And it begins today. As I wrote over on Miami Beach 411, this is the beginning of the end for the massive joke of a ballpark that is SunLife/Land Shark/Dolphin/Pro Player/Joe Robbie Stadium. And I can’t be more excited.  But there is more to my optimism that simply the anticipation of not having to watch [...]

We Have A Miami Ballpark Logo!

November 26, 2010

I’d like to thank everyone who helped us narrow down the choices for a Miami Ballpark logo. We came to a final decision, shown above. The feedback was incredibly helpful in getting to the final design. I know logos are tricky, and you can’t please everyone. But we like it, and we hope you’ll either [...]
