Fight! Fight!

When Joe Girardi took over as manager and promised a Yankees style of approach to managing the team, I naively thought of a Joe Torre approach. Little did I know the team would wind up mirroring one managed by Billy Martin.

Marlins starting pitcher Scott Olsen will take the mound tonight with the remnants of a shiner under his left eye, courtesy of a punch thrown by teammate Randy Messenger, a source said Monday.

Neither player would discuss what happened, but the source said Olsen and Messenger were involved in a fracas late Saturday or early Sunday.

Nice to see the boys were out late in the evening enjoying themselves.

From my understanding they are actually friends. Now, that's not what I do with my friends but who am I to judge how others relate to their friends.

If you saw the game last night when the camera panned in for a close up of the dugout, Olsen's shiner was very obvious. Tommy even made mention of it during the broadcast.

I have to admit: we may not win much but it is never boring.

They were probably out bar hopping with Logan Kensing and got a little carried away with their drinking.

Whachhu talkin'bout Willis?

Scouts for the New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals attended Sunday's game at Tropicana Field when Willis allowed three runs in a complete-game loss to the Devil Rays. The Arizona Republic reported Monday that the Diamondbacks have had discussions with the Marlins about acquiring Willis to form a solid 1-2 punch with Brandon Webb.

The Marlins have said they are not trying to trade Willis (1-5, 5.12 ERA).

Whaa?!?!?!?!??!??!!?!??!??!?!?!!

Whew.... sorry. This little denial at the end isn't quite good enough for me. I need more info!
Any ideas?
