Put a fork in the Marlins ’cause they’re done. What a shame. At the beginning of the season the Marlins on paper looked like the team to beat but things never jelled. I wonder how the team will look next year after a whirlwind cleansing of the roster. This time the fans can’t blame the owner. Luria has done everything right except for keeping D-Lee. That’s a whole different subject. In the 4-3 loss the other night D-Lee stretches for the ball and we are out of the inning and Jones comes in for the ninth to close out the game. Instead, Delgado non-chalantly reaches for the ball and the runner is called safe. I hate the way Delgado plays the game. He is a terrible fielder, he doesn’t hustle, he’s not a team leader, and terrible base runner. He should have stayed in the AL as a DH. Luria should have paid D-Lee his money and we quite possibly would have been in a better situation than we are now.

Great play by Gonzalez! The last time I saw that was in little league.

I thought Mike Lowell was back from batting hell, but that last at bat was nauseating. If we make a run, Mike must produce. Let’s cross our fingers!

Crushed.

Again.

Everywhere from the standings to the spirit.

For the second cruel night in a row, the Marlins walked off the field with heads hung as the jubilant Mets won in the final at-bat, all but extinguishing what was left of Florida’s season. If the Marlins win all 10 remaining games, a virtual impossibility given that this team hasn’t won a series since June, it would still need the surging Astros to go 6-4 to tie them.

Then Dan Le Batard, continues with:

That would mean starting over, which nobody in South Florida wants to hear, but you are going to care only enough to complain? It isn’t like there were swaying, paying thousands at the ballpark all season rewarding Marlins management for again doing all it could to give us a season’s worth of contending.

Frankly, we don’t deserve Delgado, A.J. Burnett nor this team that keeps giving us September and October thrills. Last in the league in attendance? There isn’t another baseball town in North America, not one, that would draw this poorly for pennant-race games.

–When hes right, hes right.

Burnett FINALLY comes out with a good performance. He made one bad pitch to Floyd which essentially lost the game. As usual when Burnett pitches well, he receives no run support. I just don’t think the Marlins are in synch this year and probably won’t be there in October. I hope I’m wrong but too many things go south unlike 2003 when everything fell into place.

Once again the Marlins don’t execute. Moehler did a great job getting Floyd with an outside and down curveball, so why does he throw Jacobs(the rookie) a fast ball that splits the plate?
It’s a shame that the Marlins out hit the Mets and can’t come out with a win, but why should they win with 0-fers from Cabrera and Pierre? Bench Pierre!!

Jack has done a masterful job in juggling his roster tonight which is obviously banged up. Whether he wins or loses tonight; he’s done a good job. This is in direct contrast to the other night when he allowed Dontrelle to pitch the ninth inning. Instead, he should have brought in Jones to pitch the entire inning instead of putting him the compromising position of first and third with no outs. That was a must win game, as all these games are now.

Lets Go Marlins is the Marlins chant. We are super marlins fans.
