Open Thread and Ichthyomancy: Marlins at Brewers (5/14)
Florida Marlins at Milwaukee Brewers, May 14, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
The Marlins are in sweep avoidance mode today.
Since the Marlins are playing almost every game on the road this season and in about half of those they've included the added bonus of also being a mid-week day game. So why breakup such a crowd pleasing strategy.
So without further ado, here is another stupid mid-week day game!
Ichthyomancy is not ready but is here.
Best of Luck to You!

there's something incredibly extra frustrating about...
parking the car with a 2-1 game, getting in, turning on the tv, and finding a 3-1 game. It’s bad enough to give up a run, but you had to do it in the two seconds I wasn’t able to follow the game?

on the upside, got some classic DVH
Geffner telling a story about the Brewers being in Pittsburgh when Jeff Suppan, standing in the dugout, yells out “Somebody’s burning!” and indeed, the first base coach was standing too close to the space heater, which had burned through his pants and one of two pairs of socks.
Van Horne: “I hate when that happens.”

"the Mets not off to a great start ... not able to equal their run from the second half of last year"
Um, the same Mets just had a 7-game winning streak? The same Mets who are leading the division?

I'm going to go ahead and say it...
This feels like a game we end up winning. If the roles were reversed, it would be one of those games where you just know that you should be up by more, and that not taking advantage is going to come back to bite you. Thus, it stands to reason that we should feel good.

I guess the Hopper coming in ensures that Johnson can't get the loss....
is the thinking

what kind of Commie bastards are these Brewers?
How does Hot Dog not win at least once a series?

Do you guys think I should drop Clayton Kershaw for Zach Duke?
Also, going on a rally beer (and beach) run…

How I fix the Marlins... with $5MM
a) Sign Paul Byrd – having 2 minor leaguers starting on the mound (and Miller is nothing but a glorified minor leaguer) is not acceptable. Approx $2MM
b) Sign Jim Edmonds – we need a legitimate bat in the outfield, and his defense is still good, let Carroll play every day in the minors… prob around $2MM
c) Maybe sign a reliever like Al Reyes – he shouldn’t take much money and closed for the Rays for awhile last year…
