PrintMiami Marlins at Washington Nationals, Aug 4, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The Marlins are on the road for six games with the first three being against the Nationals. Hanley is back in the lineup, Woo Hoo! Now, I sure his knee is still a little sore but is, obviously, good enough to go. Also, Nick Johnson has played against every team in the majors with one exception, the Nationals. that, of course, will change after tonight's game.
Josh Johnson is on the hill for the Fish. Really, does any more need to be said.
Martin is a rookie who will be making his four start overall and his first against the Marlins. Martin is basically a fast ball (87.7 mph), cutter pitcher but he will mix a curve and a change in there from time to time.
Ichthyomancy is still tarmac lagged, but is ready. Oh, for Ichthyomancy purposes, it is JJ and NJ.
Best of Luck to You!

Must be weird for Nick Picks
20,777
JJ
Nick heads to the wrong dugout (guess that’s hard to verify), so JJ 1+ H, W
This strikezone looks awfully inconsistent thus far
It seems like the right side of the plate is a toss-up as to whether the umpire is going to call it or not
I've got JJ on my fantasy team...
…and right now, I really wish they kept hitting stats for pitchers.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Could you slot him in at Utility maybe?
But that would discount his pitching performances. Would certainly be an option when he’s a Yankee in 3 years though.
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
Wow, Nick Johnson does not look impressive out there.
I mean, he looks impressive in the sense that he’s gotten on base a lot so far. But physically… I can’t recall the last time I saw a position player who looked less like an athlete. Was he that overweight before the injury? (If nothing else, he was probably less balding.)
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Or how about...
The Padres, Nats, A’s, Indians, Royals, and orioles, who ALL have worse records than Pittsburgh?
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
Well a lot of those wins came when they were a semi-legit ballclub
i.e. before they sold all of their players
Over the last 10 games they are 3-7,
same as the Orioles, Mariners, and Astros, and better than the 1-9 Reds(who the Pirates CAUGHT in the standings after the trades). There are plenty of bad teams, I just don’t think the Pirates are heads and shoulders the worst.
Go Nevada Wolf Pack!
Hey, it's worked for the Marlins in the past.
We seem to be doing better at hanging onto SOME of our guys these days, but given the lack of finances the Pirates are constrained by, there are worse teams to emulate than the Marlins…
…though of course, that strategy kind of requires that you can identify good prospects when you see them.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Yes, it did work for us
But not before we went 54-108 in 1998
JD Martin...
On the day JD Martin was called up to the majors, the Nationals also called up Logan Kensing, put Scott Olsen on the DL, and released Julian Tavarez. That’s a lot of former Marlins…
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Coghlan's growing on me.
He needs to get back to second base, though… he’s not a plus hitter for a LF.
He's currently two-thirds man, one-third amazing. Which, let's face it, is still a pretty good ratio.
Ah, I forgot about our slew of firemen
Why wasn’t Mr. Lindstrom warming up too, he always has nice clean innings
That's a mighty quick hook
He had just retired 20 straight
Yeah I know
But that was my gut feeling. Then I said the same thing you just said convincing myself otherwise.
Your sig here.
I didn't get the feeling until the third hit
Leaving him in for the double was too much
how many times can we say it
PINTO SUCKS – He needs to be cut, or DFA’s or anything to get the F rid of him
This wasn't at all Pinto's fault...
He got out his man, a run just happened to score with it
That was horrific
And stands as the second most sickening inning of the year so far…right after the collapse in Baltimore (which we won, so after the ninth my unofficial ranking might change)
Nah
that was god awful, but the phillies comeback against Lindstrom was the worse.
I think i know what the cubs fans felt like Sunday
I sorta forgot about that one
I think that call that selective memory
