PrintHouston Astros at Miami Marlins, Aug 12, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
The Marlins are going for the series win tonight.
What is there to say about Nolasco that you don't already know? You already know that when he is on he is almost unhittable and when he has a rare bad night he battles and keeps the team in the game. And none of that has changed.
Norris will trot to the hill for his third career start. The first two went really well and ended up with the Astros winning. Judging by the data available (meaning the one source I went to) he is fast ball (93.8 mph), slider pitcher who does mix in a change.
Ichthyomancy is running unbelievably behind.
Best of Luck to You!

Nolasco: 7+K’s, W, Chris Coghlan extends multi-hit game streak, Nick Johnson on base > 4 times
Going for the grand slam with my AAB today! Think I’ll make Wednesday’s “BTP’s Crazy Hack Job Picks Day.” I’m swinging as hard as Jay Bruce today, and I totally expect to have a BA reflecting it. Can we get all 4 of these in the game? Who knows! But’ll it’ll make it even more fun to watch!
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
did they just say it's Email Wednesday tonight?
are they doing this just for me?

Marlins set, extend or break some record & Win by 2+ & Norris does not get a QS (I don’t want to be tempted to get him for my fantasy team streach run)
in Anibal news
Jacksonville is playing the Tennessee Smokies, who are managed by Ryne Sandberg. A lot worse people kids can learn from.

and the opposing starter is Jeremy Papelbon
brother of Jonathan. Lots of big names in this game.

Looks like this game is going just like last night's
Only about three innings sooner
Let's see if Ricky can keep things held down through 6 innings with little to none more ER
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
This is not what our bullpen needed
I think Wood is going to be sent down after tonight for a fresh arm
I think the Marlins are trying to tell me to go work on my homework though...
… this kinda stuff happens often, like the internet going out while procrastinating.
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
