Chum Bucket

The Marlins have moved into a virtual tie with the Phillies for first place in the NL East. Woo Hoo! (Technically, the Fish are .00066 behind in the standings, but so what. Around here that is close enough.)
To the Chum Bucket.
It's not that I'm expecting enough activity by the late-night bar crowd that we need another open thread, it is just I wanted to give you a heads-up about what to expect for the holiday weekend. And anyway, it has been awhile since we've had a Chum Bucket. So why not now.
For the holiday three-day weekend, On Friday: I have no idea what FishStripes will look like, maybe the normal type of sucky blog posts you have come to expect or it may just end up being only the open thread. Time will tell. Saturday and Sunday will be their normal selves.
A word of warning, Friday's game starts an hour earlier than normal - the game is scheduled to start at 6:10 p.m. Saturday's game will not be televised since some fool in the front office decided it also should start at 6:10 p.m. Sunday's game is at the normal 1:10 p.m. start time.
If you have anything to say, have at it, because every Chum Bucket is a completely open thread.
Have a Great three-day Weekend! That is for those of you who get one. If you don't, just try to suffer through as best you can.

Will Luis Ayala Solve The Bullpen Problems? (hint: um, no)

So JCR is reporting that the Fish have agreed to terms with Luis Ayala, which makes sense since they've been linked to him for quite some time. As we all know, the Marlins have had a plethora of bullpen problems this season, ranging from overuse to misuse to general sucktitude. So is this the move that finally puts things in order? Perhaps the better question is whether it puts anything in order...

The #Marlins have come to terms with RHP Luis Ayala. He'll get a few outings at AAA New Orleans before joining the team.

Tim Wood's journey to the Majors

Clark Spencer chonicles Tim Wood's journey to the majors.
When the TV cameras zoomed in on his face, Tim Wood's friends back home in Tucson thought he looked so petrified that he wasn't breathing. But the rookie pitcher for the Marlins was far from frightened when he made his major-league debut a week ago.
It's not often a player selected in the 44th round makes it to the bigs.

The Hanley Ramirez RBI streak a record setter

Sure, Hanley Ramirez broke the Marlins team record for consecutive games with at least one RBI, but yesterday he did more than just add to his total: He set the new record for NL shortstops.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Ramirez is the first National League shortstop to have a string of 10 straight games with an RBI. The research goes back to 1920, the first year the RBI became an official statistic.

"Why did I sign with the Nationals?" Tavares said. "When you go to a club at 4 in the morning and you're just waiting, waiting, a 600-pounder looks like J-Lo. And to me, this is Jennifer Lopez right here. It's 4 in the morning. Too much to drink. So, Nationals, that's Jennifer Lopez to me."
