Citrus/Ceattle Ceries

Well, that was...acidic. Aside from Ricky Nolasco's brilliant performance yesterday, I could have done without that series in its entirety. Am I the only one who misses the days when our AL counterparts were comfortable in their role as bottom-feeders? It certainly made our last trip to Tampa more exciting (Incidentally, as a local minister commented to me recently, Tampa Bay's newfound glory is clearly God's lavish blessing upon them due to the fact that they have removed the word "Devil" from their name. It is at very least a point to be pondered. Perhaps the Marlins should consider a name change as well. Angelfish has a lovely ring to it. World Series, here we come. Uh, and while we're on the subject of name changes, shouldn't they call it the "sunshine" series???).

I have said basically all I care to say about the last three games the Marlins have played, especially since the Fish are still trying to wake some of their bats from the coma induced by three ABs against Jamie Moyer last week. Perhaps the invigorating Seattle air rain will be just what Jim Presley ordered. Unfortunately, considering the fact that games in Seattle finish around the time that I get up for work, HLD&S GAMENIGHT has been postponed until further notice. Or until the Fish return to a time zone that doesn't blow. Then again, Gamenight has pretty much been cancelled for one reason or another for the last fifteen or so games. My apologies to the masses one reader who emailed to complain.
