This is kind of shocking to me; if anything the Marlins have probably overachieved recently, given their miniscule payroll. It might be due to the personality clash between him and team star Hanley Ramirez.

He’ll go on to take another team to the series. This idiot manager fired Girardi, and two years later, he helped deliver a championship. Fredi is a good manager, and will do well somewhere else.

WTF?!?!? I just watched him last night whip the Oriels 10-4! Once again my home team just can’t get its act together. The Huizenga curse of disorder continues.

The Marlins problem is middle relief and the in-ability to hold games. That’s it. All they needed to do was get their pitching in order with a trade or 2 and they would be right there. Sure, Cantu and Uggla have slumped as of late but that is not Gonzalez’s fault. Sheesh...this is so ridiculous.

Latos was lights out in Tampa last night...I was flipping back and forth between that and the Marlins game.

Well, this is good news for Nationals. For some reason the Nats always have a hard time with the Marlans. The old saying, if the players are slumping fire a coach.
