The Marlins get to start anew tonight and are visiting the Padres.
The nice thing about going to San Diego is that we get to see our old friends from Gaslamp Ball. Sure, if you need a Padres pocket schedule, they aren't the guys to count on but they always bring beer to the parties. So you take what you can. If you are an old timer here at FishStripes, go by and Hi, I'm sure they would love to see you. If you are new, go introduce yourself, they are good people. A little crazy, but good nonetheless.
Now on to tonight's game.
Nolasco takes the hill for the Marlins and it is about time. Ricky has been on a roll of late and with any luck at all it will continue. If all the stuff is working, he should shut the Padres down. If it isn't, he can't be any worse than what we witnessed from the starters in Colorado.
Maddux....why doesn't he just retire and take his place in the Hall of Fame? I mean really, what does he have left to prove? The weird thing is that Maddux hasn't won in his last 10 starts, not that he has pitched badly but the wins aren't falling into place for him.
FishStripers, Midnight Baseball is back!
Ichthyomancy is ready to go, but still hates Monday. Best of Luck to You!
