The firing of Ozzie Guillen was a hasty affair, and it shows once again that, under Jeffery Loria's ownership, the Miami Marlins franchise are becoming one of the biggest jokes in professional sports.

The Miami Marlins ended their disappointing 2012 season just like they started it, with a loss in their brand-new ballpark, this time to the New York Mets.

Paul Maholm pulled his inner Tom Glavine for the Atlanta Braves and shut down a Miami Marlins offense that was missing their superstar, Giancarlo Stanton, again.

With the Miami Marlins likely to reduce payroll, thus decreasing the chances of contending in the 2013 season, the Marlins might be best off trading their ace, Josh Johnson, this off-season to fill the many voids that team currently has.

After Heath Bell says Ozzie Guillen is "hard to respect" in a radio interview, teammates Justin Ruggiano and Brett Hayes jump to the defense of Ozzie Guillen on Twitter.

The Miami Marlins tore down a good chunk of the 2012 team's core before the season ended, but in doing so the Marlins have returned to their roots in focusing on pitching.

The Miami Marlins came back from a 5-0 deficit to make it 5-4 as late as the seventh inning in a game against the Washington Nationals last night, but ultimately fell 8-4 as the bullpen struggled in relief of Jacob Turner.
