Chum Bucket

The Marlins have a couple of days off and you know what that means......another installment of Chum Bucket.

I've seriously have ran out time and I didn't even to get write about the Marlins players performances in last night's All-Star game. But that's okay, I was planning on taking the late great Warren Zevon approach.

Well, I met a girl at the Rainbow bar

----

She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it

You may talk about the game if would like, but as for me it is time to move on. We have a division to win or a wild-card to secure. And judging by the way the Phillies and Mets closers performed, I think we have more than a good shot.

But if you are not feeling all basebally, anything is open for discussion. And you never can tell, someone may just join in. However, baseball always, and as it should, gets the most responses.

Have a Great Day!

[Update] FishStripes is being searched for everything Dan Uggla and all I have to say is this: Danny is ours and I, for one, am ecstatic he is.

And for all the Uggla haters,

or any other schadenfreude-seekers, I have this to say:

Our second baseman messed up in a mostly meaningless exhibition game. On the other hand, your second baseman sucks in all the games that actually count.

We luv ya, Danny!

if it's not fixed already,

it’s probably best just to mention it in the next ichthyomancy thread.

who does everyone think we should trade for… and give up for them?

I’m personally a fan of trading for SF’s long reliever.. his name escapes me right now, but he’s pretty good, we could use the help there and I bet he could be gotten for cheap – plus it allows us to send tucker down to practice what he does best or cut hendrickson. I’d give up a mid to top level prospect for him… or maybe even hermida…

Taschner?

I’m not sure who you mean, but I don’t know about a long reliever. We’ve got Waechter and Hendrickson to fill that role—not that either of them is great, but I think it would be better to focus on a lockdown 7th or 8th inning guy. Seeing as how Pinto has faltered a bit, I don’t really have full confidence in any one of our short relievers.

Although not a trade but a free-agent signing, I still remember how valuable Dennis Cook was. We need that kind of “crafty veteran” again.
