A few selections as well as this nifty link to my facebook album.

Nevermind the fact that he had a career .167 slugging percentage (4 doubles) going into the season.  At 11-2 with 3 homers and maybe 10 more starts to go, the question is whether he can make it...

Tonight, Nick Johnson will join the Florida Marlins mid-season and wear the #20.  Consider the following:   1997: Darren Daulton joins the Florida Marlins mid-season and wears the #20.  The end...

So JCR is reporting that the Fish have agreed to terms with Luis Ayala, which makes sense since they've been linked to him for quite some time.  As we all know, the Marlins have had a plethora of...

A tough call on whether to put this as a Fanpost or Fanshot.  Not nearly as involved as most of my -posts, but I have more to say than just a -shot.  Whatevs. Anyway, Harry Pavlidis just posted...

Usually when I've updated the Organizational Depth Chart, it's just a bunch of meaningless moves around the affiliates (well meaningless to us, at least; I'm sure those guys are very interested). ...

  Firstly, I've got to point everybody in the direction of Harry Pavlidis' tutorial on how to make your own Pitch F/X flight paths, including handy-dandy Excel template.  Combined with B...

I had meant to note this yesterday, but it's good that I didn't since now I have the new "batted ball" numbers via THT.  Technically I can't "reproduce them" but I think studes will agree that...

Define karma: I skipped out on Tuesday's Jupiter/St. Lucie game in large part because Monday's went 11 innings and there is only so long you can sit on the hard plastic seats of Tradition Field...

Depending on who you ask, Alex Fernandez either got the last two Opening Day starts of the second millennium, or the last of the second and the first of the third.  Although technically I think if...

Because "The Brown Years" just sounds dirty. But we forge onward with the Opening Day series, this time jumping ahead to 1996 and 1997.  Kevin Brown only stayed with the Fish for two seasons, but...

Now that the Marlins have solidified their future, what better way to celebrate than looking back to the past?  In this series (presuming I don't give up on it), we'll look at the 16 Opening Day...

I went on the record about a month ago in predicting the "most likely outcome" for the 08 Marlins was another battle for the NL's worst record.  I've said time and again that despite my Mayboner,...

So with the Gators finding themselves in a quick 14-0 hole to Auburn, I was reminded of the recent diary "An Unrelated Subject" involving UF/UM banter.  I reskimmed it just now, thinking about...

I should first of all point out, like I seem to do for most of my diaries, that this is all done pretty haphazardly, rather than any kind of serious inquiry that comes to a legitimate conclusion....

The new ESPN The Magazine (from the people who brought you ESPN The Network and ESPN The Website) has a surprisingly interesting bit on Miggy, his greatness, and his weightness.  And since it's...

Mystery-man division Last season, not one manager in baseball could summon up the courage to let even one of his position players make it to the mound to finish up a blowout. So we salute the Devil...

Only Dontrelle could go into a strip club and come out a hero.  May I humbly suggest that this team's greatest story no longer concerns salsa dancing, but pole dancing.Via Lt Winslow, this account...
