PrintMiami Marlins at Arizona Diamondbacks, Jul 9, 2009 9:40 PM EDT
The Marlins are in Arizona to face the red-hot Diamondbacks in a four game set. The D'backs are presently on a five-game win streak. When the teams met in May the Diamondbacks won three of the four games in Florida. Hoping to return the favor.
Big Game Andrew is on tap put a stop to the streaking home team. When BGA faced the D'backs earlier in the season, he had a very good outing going 7 innings, giving up 2 runs and striking out 9 but did not get the decision.
Yusmeiro Petit! You have got to be kidding. And who says irony doesn't have a sense of humor. If you will recall, Petit is the player who the Marlins basically gave to Arizona for Jorge Julio. Petit is recently off the DL (shoulder injury) and did not pitch well in his first start back. This will be his second.
Ichthyomancy is ready to go.
Best of Luck to You!

Can someone explain the ichthyomancy picks to me?
So far i’ve realized you guess the attendance, a player, and exact prediction.
How close does the attendance guess have to be to get a point? And when i pick a player, what am I predicting he’s going to do?
I’m new here obviously.. haha.
you've got it, basically.
Whoever comes closest to the attendance number wins it. Theres a post somewhere that explains it all… Somebody who knows where to find that can provide a link.
thanks
well i understand 2 of the three picks now. I just don’t understand the second pick where you name a player. What does the player have to do for you to get a point?
Report on the Hopper
Burke Badenhop left the game with a left knee contusion after getting hit by a line-drive. Marlins Media via twitter
Tim Wood may not leave after all
though Hopper would have to be put on the DL for him to stay, right?
DUDE, you should totally call me next time. I hereby give you permission to wake me up
whenever anything of this magnitude occurs… I don’t know whether to be happy they won, or bawl like a baby that I missed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopper Update
Another update on Burke Badenhop – x-rays were negative. He is day-to-day. Marlins Media via twitter
Glad I DVR'd this game
We hang on to win this and I’ll watch what I missed (which was about 7 runs) tomorrow
I am lamenting this on the air right now. You have both been mentioned (in between the tears)...
I went to bed when it was 6-0, before Hop got hit. I can’t believe I missed it!!!! Stupid West coast!!!!!!
Sorry guys...
… think I jinxed us by wondering a loud if we’d make it through the order twice in an inning.
On a side note,
I made a bet with a Giants fan that this game would last longer than the Giants game that started an hour later. They were neck and neck until Kiko came in, leaving SF behind in the 7th. That game finished before ours left the top of the 8th. :D
The best part about living on the west coast...
… late games over by 11 (unless it’s Hawaii football games, but I don’t think the East Coast even knows they play seeing as kickoff is midnight eastern)
Points
The attendance for the game was 21,558.
The attendance point goes to Dgriot.
Players earning a point: Carroll, Uggla and Hermida.
A point goes to: Architect, GameFish and Hurricane.
AAB points: Architect, Fishcrazy, HadMatter +2, LadyFish and Spud.
Recap:
Architect +2
HadMatter +2
Dgriot +1
GameFish +1
Hurricane +1
Fishcrazy +1
LadyFish +1
Spud +1
Congratulations to all of tonight’s winners! If I missed anyone or anything, please let me know.
