I was just thinking the same thing, ha.

Except that's not what is going to happen at all is it? No, now your ass is out of job, getting a divorce and you just rolled a truck. I almost feel sorry for you.

I would respond to this with some type of comeback, but why put in the effort when you just make it so damn easy.

How is that bad? Toine sucks. All he does is stand by the 3 point line and wait to shoot. It's a good trade for both teams, I think.

Three words: 1998 fire sale... Although it's paying dividends now, big time.

Anybody read the Daily Quickie? That moron makes me mad. I secretly think it's Anglesault.

Sweet, no shutout!!

I just hope a shutout can be avoided.

Andy Pettitte is a free agent? I can't see him playing for any other team than the Yankees.

8 run eighth? I can only dream for a repeat.

I'd also like to take this time to mention that Hideki Matsui is probably my least favorite player in the Major League, and the first inning HR has nothing to do with it. Something about him just irks me.

*cue pipe dream of Loria going CRAZY and signing Vlad*

In the same token, Pudge is only 31. He just seems so much older for some reason.

29.00

Ah man, that hit Cabrera's foot. Not like it matters at this point, but a rally could have gotten started.

It's tough to say. I'd hope that the Marlins could afford to keep both. I'd like to keep Lowell. He's coming off a career year...great numbers even with a month off. I'm not sure what Loria is going to do with the payroll however. I just really don't think that the Marlins can afford to lose both Pudge and Lowell in the offseason. Most assume it's a given that Pudge is gone, but he wants to stay and Loria has already proven to be a bit of a wild card when spending money. In a perfect world, the Marlins keep Lowell, keep Cabrera in the OF, and also resign Castillo and Pudge. We shall see.

If this were a close game, which is obviously is not, that play by Pudge would have been a momentum killer.

Shit. Helling was cruising along nicely until Soriano puts the Yanks up 6-0. Not going the Marlins way tonight.

Worst part is that the Marlins paid Hampton's salary this year. D'oh.

Oh. I didn't know that. I stopped watching wrestling months ago.

Juan Pierre is awesome. You could count me in as one of the people who groaned when they traded him for Preston Wilson, but it certainly turned out ok for the Marlins.

Wow, no one really is watching the series, are they? Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed in this game up to this point. The bats at the bottom of the order did terrible. I'm hopeful in a way because 1-6 hit Pettite pretty well...just to the wrong spots. If they can get out of this...maybe something can get started.

I thought two of those pitches to Pudge were balls. Oh well.

It is time.

The game got a 26.7 rating and 40 share in New York, and a 36.6/54 in Miami. ESPN.com They MAY be bandwagon fans,but they bandwagon hard. Yeah, the ratings sucked, but on the bright side they were higher than last years.
