For the second consecutive night, a capacity crowd of 48,691 was treated to a postgame fireworks show, but before the sun set in Denver, the Marlins and Rockies lit up each other's pitchers. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/594454.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/594454.html Sat, 05 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT After Kevin Gregg's rough outing Thursday, in which he walked two and threw a bunt attempt into right field to set up the Rockies' two-run, game-winning rally in the 11th inning, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez is sticking by his closer. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593592.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593592.html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT It looked like the Marlins' late-game magic was going to travel well, but the team's sore spot -- the bullpen -- grounded it. Marlins relievers surrendered two late leads to the Rockies as Colorado squeaked past Florida for a thrilling 6-5 victory at Coors Field on Thursday night. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593578.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593578.html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Injured second baseman Dan Uggla hit in the batting cage and did some light jogging before Thursday's game at Coors Field and felt fine afterward. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593562.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593562.html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:25 EDT It looked like the Marlins' late-game magic was going to travel well, but the team's sore spot -- the bullpen -- grounded it. Marlins relievers surrendered two late leads to the Rockies as Colorado squeaked past Florida for a thrilling 6-5 win at a sold-out Coors Field on Thursday night. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593619.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/593619.html Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT If pitcher Scott Olsen doesn't finish what he starts Friday, it won't be any skin off his back as long as the Marlins end up winning. But he will put the Marlins in the record book if he does not go the distance against the Colorado Rockies. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/592080.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/592080.html Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Jaws dropped in the bullpen. Joy rang out from the dugout.

He says he can, even after notching the victory Wednesday, when he held the Nationals to a pair of runs on just three hits in seven innings. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590567.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590567.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Mark Hendrickson was hoping a good July would make up for a lousy June. But the dawn of a new month didn't bring better results for Hendrickson. It was more of the same as the Washington Nationals handed the Marlins a 9-6 loss Tuesday night at Dolphin Stadium. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590656.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590656.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Although second baseman Dan Uggla remains confident he can return by the weekend, when the Marlins are in Colorado, he had a magnetic resonance imaging exam on his sprained left ankle Tuesday. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/591680.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/591680.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:21 EDT A 95-minute rain delay was worth the wait for the Marlins. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/589194.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/589194.html Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT If you think you have read this before, it's because you have. This is the one about how Hanley Ramirez hits a home run in the bottom of the ninth to stave off a loss, and how the Marlins come back to win. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/589340.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/589340.html Tue, 01 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Josh Johnson's long-awaited return will take a bit longer. The Marlins were targeting a Friday return for Johnson, who left the mound in San Diego on July 4, 2007, and had elbow ligament replacement surgery on Aug. 3. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590546.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/590546.html Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:29 EDT Before the Marlins took to the field Tuesday at Dolphin Stadium, Hanley Ramirez was bemoaning the fact that he had yet to hit a grand slam in the major leagues. He still hasn't, even though the chance was there for him to rectify the matter. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587819.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587819.html Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT It took nine pitches and more than three minutes for the Marlins to turn a one-run deficit into a 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks and set off a wild celebration at the plate that looked like it belonged in October. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587954.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587954.html Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla, who left Saturday's game with a sprained left ankle, sat out Sunday and might not play again until Thursday, when the Marlins play at Colorado. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587194.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/587194.html Sun, 29 Jun 2008 01:47 EDT It was giveaway night at Dolphin Stadium on Saturday. The Marlins gave away Andrew Miller T-shirts to the first 15,000 fans. Miller gave the Diamondbacks two walks to start a five-run rally in the sixth inning, and the Marlins batters gave away several scoring chances, handing Arizona a 6-2 victory before a crowd of 27,777. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/586376.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/586376.html Sat, 28 Jun 2008 02:01 EDT Ricky Nolasco was the odd man out in April, the fifth pitcher in a four-man rotation. Now, he is the closest thing the Marlins have to an ace, the pitcher they count on most. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/586527.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/586527.html Sat, 28 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT First the Marlins were saying they hoped Josh Johnson would be ready to pitch for them ``before the end of the season.'' Then the timetable changed to ``around the All-Star break.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/585097.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/585097.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Joe Scherer, the once-elusive ''Joe'' who caught Ken Griffey Jr.'s 600th home run ball during a Marlins-Reds game at Dolphin Stadium earlier this month, will sell the ball at an Aug. 1 auction, according to a press release issued on behalf of Chicago-area Mastro Auctions. http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/584774.html http://www.miamiherald.com/591/story/584774.html Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:01 EDT Only a face-saving swing by Hanley Ramirez spared the Marlins from total ignominy Thursday. It was his towering home run on the first pitch in the seventh inning that kept Matt Garza from becoming the first pitcher in Rays history to toss a no-hitter. http://www.miamiherald.com/590/story/590567.html http://www.miamiherald.com/590/story/590567.html Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:01 EDT Mark Hendrickson was hoping a good July would make up for a lousy June.

The Seattle Mariners are a disaster. It's difficult to imagine spending that much money and playing that badly. http://www.miamiherald.com/857/story/594613.html http://www.miamiherald.com/857/story/594613.html Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:09 EDT
