Big League Chew

The Florida Marlins didn’t make any serious offseason acquisitions to upgrade last season’s craptastic bullpen, and their manager may have suffered from narcolepsy during games. That being said, the Marlins front office is sure talking a shitload of trash these days. Sure, there’s great young talent such as Josh Johnson...

The Florida Marlins didn’t make any serious offseason acquisitions to upgrade last season’s craptastic bullpen, and their manager may have suffered from narcolepsy during games. That being said, the Marlins front office is sure talking a shitload of trash these days. Sure, there’s great young talent such as Josh Johnson and National League batting champ Hanley Ramirez. There’s also Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan entering his first full season, Jorge Cantu’s 100 RBI-ability, and Dan Uggla’s big-game stroke. The promise of these players had team president David Samson telling the Sun Sentinel that the season will “end in a pile.” Let’s hope he’s talking about the kind you see when a team wins a championship, and not the other type of pile. The Fish take on the Cincinnati Reds this Thursday at Sun Life Stadium.
