Marlins say fences at ballpark won't be moving in
The hard-to-reach outfield fences at the Miami Marlins' new ballpark will remain that way.
Some have argued the fences should be moved in because home runs are too difficult to hit, but Marlins president David Samson says the ballpark plays the way it was designed.
''We have no reason to think about doing anything with the fences,'' Samson said Tuesday. '...

The Pirates are...

Respect the Distance and Marlins’ President, David Samson
On Saturday, I ran 50 miles at the Ice Age Trail 50 Mile Ultramarathon.
It was the hardest physical challenge I’ve put myself through yet. At times I was ecstatic, at others, on the verge of insanity, and everything in between.
Not wanting to further overuse the “life is a marthon” metaphor, I did a quick search of the interwebs to find a connection between ultramarathoning...

Zambrano looks to extend streak vs. Mets
