    Lemme call my buddy Kim Jong and see what I can conjure up.

    Even when he gets the job done, he's constantly throwing meatballs. Hell he threw a meatball to Ramirez in his AB. There are better options than Kevin Gregg. He can be a nice 6th or 7th inning guy when the game isn't on the line, but as far as I'm concerned he shouldn't be the closer anymore.

    Leave it to the Cubs to put that vomit taste in our mouths yet again. I know, I was feeling quite good about us leaving Florida with a series win 2 years in a row. Even though we won the season series against the Marlins 4-3, it feels like we went 2-5 against them. We just never have an easy damn time with them. I hate them more than any team not based within 5 miles of a 600 ft arch. Yes I hate them more than the White Sox.

    Really sucks we lost the game, but we certainly had our chances to win offensively earlier in the game blowing chances for runs in the 1st and 3rd innings. Runner on third with 1 out should be converted a large majority of the time IMO. I'm not saying Gregg isn't in complete fault, but we could have avoided him even pitching. The loss isn't the end of the world. Still only 0.5 back of the Cardinals, and unfortunately we lost a game in the WC to both Colorado and SF, and are 2 games behind them both. Try to suck it up, maybe mull some changes in the pen and hopefully beat up on the hapless Reds this week. A season like this, its easier to take these losses for some reason. It stings, but I'm over it.

    Guzman for closer, Marmol in the 8th, Marshall in the 7th, Gregg 6th, Grabow LOOGY

    Wow..... Maybe this is just like Wood vs. Cubs
  7. UMFan83
    Unbelievable. FU Gregg.
  8. UMFan83
    Nice and easy now Gregg.....

    oh, it could definitely hurt Just like him playing at third cost us a bunch of games, right? Playing him at third, a position at which he has a decent amount of experience and the correct skillset to play at an even acceptable level is a completely different animal than putting him at second. I'd say he'd be about as successful at second as Geovany Soto. There is a reason why big bulky power hitters tend to be corner IF/OF, just like theres a reason why power hitting SS/2B tend to move to the corners later in their careers (ex. ARod)

    He didn't even leave his feet. But Hermida had to cover a lot of ground to get there so in that respect it was nice. I thought for sure Lee hit an RBI double for a few seconds.
  11. UMFan83
    Still doesnt change thefact that Heilman sucks at his job. Overall, yeah, but he's been pretty good lately and I can't get too upset over allowing one run. He has? He has a 8.10 ERA over his last 13 appearances including today....if you want to cut it down even more recent, 7.20 ERA over his last 6 appearances.
  12. UMFan83
    16 in a row....its the same field you play on a home except the OF walls are configured differently. It can't be that hard.
  13. UMFan83
    Probably 10 feet from a 2-0 game with Cajun Connection homers
  14. UMFan83
    Waste of a triple there. Really frustrated to see Lee pop it up on the first pitch, but he's picked us up too many times to get too upset. Would have liked to get a quick run before Nolasco settles in.
  15. UMFan83
    3 run lead 1 out to go and 2 outs what is that 99.5% chance of victry
  16. UMFan83
    That was much much needed. Thanks Ryan, I can at least calm down a bit until Gregg walks the first batter in the bottom of the 9th.
  17. UMFan83
    Agreed. Marmol is more likely to walk a run in than get a dp
  18. UMFan83
    Nice gaffe aram. Now they at least tie it.
  19. UMFan83
    Unbelievable.

    70s night. Isn't there fireworks after the game also? Florida doesn't even deserve this team Why? It only takes 4 concurrent promotions and a well supported road team to make the park half full. BTW, I think Florida deserves the team. Wait until the new ballpark is built...once you are not trying to attract fans to a ballpark in a poor location to come sit in 90 degree weather with a 60% chance of rain, people will come out. I think there are some passionate fans in the Florida area....I'm not saying this is a thriving baseball market, but I think they should be able to average 20-25K in their new park once the initial bump subsides.

    Phew, survived through 7. Who knows what Marmol we have tonight though. After the Marlins scored their 5th run, I had a feeling this was one of those games where all the scoring would happen before the 5th inning and then it would just be holding on for the win. Either that or we hold on until the 9th and Gregg gives up a 2 run homer.
  23. UMFan83
    I hate this strike zone
  24. UMFan83
    Nice job dip----

    The cards are hitting off valverde too the guy we couldn't hit if our lives depended on it
