Sorry just had to
A ugly win is better than a pretty loss-Lou
Demp's in line for a win
if the pen can hold on
everyone can pitch today besides marshall, and we have marquis for him...
our pen will be fine, cotts 7th, gaudin 8th, and if no runs, give howry another 9th inning
dunno
Bobby’s been making 8-2 victories into 8-6 victories and leaving the tying runs on base…
Mamol
I’m glad he’s gotten some rest this week. I wouldn’t have him start the 9th but get him ready if needed.

crud, I completely forgot during the stretch
“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Cause it’s root, root, root for the CUBBIES,
If they don’t win it’s a shame.
For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out,
At the old ball game.”
LET’S
HOLD

It looks like the few Marlin fans that were at the stadium left already
Lots of empty orange seats behind home plate and down the baselines
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Hard to tell if there were ever any Marlins fans there to begin with.

August is a lousy time to be scheduling day games in South Florida.
The best defense is a good offense
There's a hurricane watch. Some folks might be boarding up, etc.
One of the few things that is more important than baseball.
