Atlanta Braves at Florida Marlins, Jul 30, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
Breakout the brooms Florida, because the Marlins are going for the sweep.
VandenHurk will be making his first home start of the season. In the Incredible Hurk's last outing he faced some though situations but battled his way through them to put up a solid 5 innings giving up 5 hits and only allowing one run.
Vazquez is going for his fourth win in-a-row. Vazquez only uses his fast ball (91 mph) 50 percent of the time. The rest of the time he kinda sorta, if you squint your eyes just right, equally distributes the remaining 40 percent between his slider, curve and change. His curve ball is his best pitch and it is a very good one.
Ichthyomancy is all sorts of lost, who knew every road had fifteen different names?
Best of Luck to You!

This is interesting...
“ESPN’s Jayson Stark tosses in this nugget: the Marlins made a run at Roy Halladay but balked at an asking price that included Cameron Maybin and Mike Stanton.”

Rosenthal says the Fish are "making a strong push" for Nick Johnson
I love me some Nick Johnson, but really? We’re going to trade a Tucker or Thompson for like sixty days of Nick Johnson?

i don't get that at all.
we don’t need help at 1B; he’s a rental; gload’s numbers are similar; we need our young arms…
really, why the heck would they do this? did they forget that willingham is not named nick johnson?
by Fishcrazy on Jul 30, 2009 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
presumably it'd be Johnson at 1B and Cantu back at 3B
and Boner on the bench

I would trade Johnson to put Boner on the bench
Not quite, but I would give up what it takes for Johnson to see that happen.

Now that I think of it, I don’t ever remember having wifi there (iphone). Just the stadium page which I couldn’t leave.
Probably have to pay for it.

at least he's consistent.
even if it’s consistently mediocre.
still, nothing beats Adam Dunn:
2005: 40 HR
2006: 40 HR
2007: 40 HR
2008: 40 HR
He’s projected to hit 41 HR this year. He better take it down a notch.

Oh Mr. Samson
“So just how much do the Blue Jays want for Halladay? Marlins president David Samson told 790 The Ticket that J.P. Ricciardi wants ‘two left legs, a right arm and a left cerebellum’ for Doc, according to the Miami Herald.”
