Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Padres at Marlins (5/4)
San Diego Padres at Miami Marlins, May 4, 2008 1:10 PM EDT
The Marlins are going for the series win today but I'm told that the starting pitching match up doesn't favor the Fish. I wonder where they got that idea?
Miller, it is the same as it has been all season long, can he finally find some control. Treanor should be catching, so maybe that will help out a little.
Maddux is going for his 350th career victory, something that only eight pitchers have ever achieved in the history of the game. Maddux has made three previous attempts at 350 but has yet to be successful in achieving the mark. He will eventually get the win needed, but today really isn't a good day for it, if you ask me...though no one ever does.
Ichthyomancy is loathing day games but is ready to take your selections. Best of luck to everyone!

so here's my thing
whoever runs the marlins site needs to get on their a-game because for the last couple days its said today’s game was at 7:10…
Uggla
I don’t know what happens to danny boy at the end of April and beginning of May but he looks awesome at the plate right now, and I take everything back I was saying about him before (though now he’ll probably go into a slump). Obviously we have to leave him at the 6 spot and I hope he can keep it up and even get his average over 300 (j/k?)
And walks
Love our boys working their at bats into walks!! New day in fish baseball
absolutely
They almost had as many walks as strikeouts today… amazing

Went to the game
with my old friend MattyStar.
when we walked past the ticket checkers there was Nancy Olsen.
This woman has a presence about her. Seriously. TV does her no justice.
Where she goes, good things must follow…
Don’t think I mentioned this, but I saw my first win since ‘06! (+ -14 games)
The Jinx is over!!!
Oh yea, I had to stop >1 so Matty could beer barf on the way home.
Hicup…
