Marlins dominate

Wow, when this team doesn't come to play, it is fairly obvious. This had to be the worst game this season to watch. Actually, the Pirates' game this past Sunday would give last night's game a run for its money. I don't really even know where to begin with last evening's game, the fact that they were fielding with something other than a glove, or that they were at the plate with swiss cheese. There were three official errors handed out, but I counted at least three other plays that normally would have been ruled an error. Weeks' throw to Overbay from 7 feet was totally inexplicable. Hardy booted a tailor-made double play ball that wasn't ruled an error. And Hall brutally let a ball play him at third. I don't care, but I just cringe every time Hall is at the hot corner. I don't know who I'd rather see out there, Wes Helms or Hall. There, I went there.

And now on to the offensive display. After Hardy's single in the third inning, Marlins' pitchers threw MORE than a perfect game against the Brewers. They recorded the last 28 outs in a row. Plus, they totalled 22 strike outs in the game. All I could do was shake my head and try not to throw a brick through my TV.

Here's the box score....cover your eys, hide the women and children, and scroll down at your own risk.
