Carlos Lee hit his first home run as a member of the Miami Marlins and did it in grand style.   Lee’s grand slam proved to be the difference maker as Miami held on for a 9-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.   The win was the second straight for the Marlins amidst rumors of the team being potential sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. Anibal Sanchez was dominant in his seven innings on the mound as he improved to 5-6 on the season.   Sanchez struck out seven while winning for the first time since June 27th.    The Cubs scored twice off the right-hander but one run was due to a Hanley Ramirez error, his eighth miscue of the season.    Chad Gaudin was the first reliever out of the bullpen and struggled en route to allowing three runs without retiring a batter.   Randy Choate came in and stopped the Cubs’ comeback attempt right there with a scoreless inning of relief.   In the ninth, Heath Bell worked for a third straight day and did so again in scoreless fashion.  It was Bell’s...

Marlins already blowing team up?

Via The Outside Corner  |  July 18, 2012

The Marlins were as active as any team this offseason in re-inventing their roster, but as they sit nine games back in the NL East, rumors are circulating that they might be priming for another overhaul. 

Would Miami Marlins Trade Hanley Ramirez and Heath Bell In Premature Fire Sale?

Via hardballchat.com  |  July 19, 2012
We all know the checkered history of the Miami Marlins franchise. They generally sit back, wait for their young players to develop, make a strong push for the playoffs, win a World Series and then have a fire sale and trade away all of their best players. Six or seven years go by, and then they gear up to repeat the entire process. But with a new home, new name and new...

How Mark Buehrle is Having One of His Best Seasons Yet

Via Fangraphs  |  July 17, 2012
Mark Buehrle is the definition of a crafty lefty. His career high strikeout percentage is 16.2% and he has struck out more than six batters per nine innings just one time in his career. Despite his lacking strikeout skills, Buehrle has still been able to maintain an 84 ERA- and net a nice four-year $58 million contract with the Marlins this past offseason. In his first stint in the...

Elbow injury could end Marlins pitcher's season before it starts

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  July 18, 2012
The Miami Marlins are preparing for the chance that reliever Juan Carlos Oviedo will not pitch this year. "This is not looking good for him to pitch for us this year," baseball operations president Larry Beinfest said Tuesday before the Marlins' game against the Cubs. "He was definitely in the plan. We anticipated him pitching for us. But right now we have to...

Fan bobbles foul ball into friend's beer

Via RotoStars.com  |  July 19, 2012
In an otherwise uneventful game, a fan at Wrigley Field made the catch of the day. Unfortunately, the foul ball ended up ruining a beer that likely cost more than the ball itself. The play occurred in the second inning of Thursday’s game between the Cubs and the Marlins. With one on and nobody out in the top of the second inning, Hanely Ramirez fouled a chopper to the third base...

Incoming! Jose Reyes hits homer, nails Wrigley Field vendor in the back (video)

Via Sportress of Blogitude  |  July 19, 2012
If it wasn’t bad enough dealing with inebriated Cubs fans out in the bleachers at Wrigley Field already — the ballpark’s bleacher bums have a notoriously rowdy reputation — one poor vendor working Wednesday’s game between the Cubbies and Miami Marlins had injury added to insult. Or however that saying goes. In the top of [...]

Derek Jeter has no clue who Logan Morrison is (Video)

Marlins 9, Cubs 5

Via AP on Fox  |  July 18, 2012
As much as he hates Wrigley Field, Ozzie Guillen had to enjoy this one. Carlos Lee hit a grand slam and the Miami Marlins beat the Cubs 9-5 on Tuesday night, giving Guillen a win in his first game back managing in Chicago. Lee's slam against Travis Wood highlighted a five-run fifth and tied him with Jimmie Foxx and Ted Williams for seventh on baseball's career list with...

Marlins' Ramirez homers in win over Nationals

Via Fox Sports Florida  |  July 16, 2012
MIAMI (AP) -- Hanley Ramirez had been hitting the ball hard all series with not a lot to show for it.
