Hanley Ramirez wanted to take a bite out of the The Big Apple on Monday, so why not call up Jay-Z? Ramirez tweeted a photo of himself hanging out with the legendary musician on Monday, which comes as a bit of a surprise. Who knew the Marlins third baseman was in contact with one of the world's biggest rap moguls? Better yet, who knew they were buddy-buddy enough for Ramirez to refer to Jay-Z as "my man" in his tweet? Making the photo even more unique is the Nirvana shirt that Ramirez is rocking during the duo's day out. And...

Can Stanton and Morrison carry Marlins?
I'd like to argue that the Miami Marlins can't win with youngsters such as left fielder Logan Morrison, 24, and right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, 22, hitting in the middle of the order.
Well, Morrison is the least of the team's problems, and Stanton at least has something of an excuse, which is more than most of his teammates can say.
The Marlins are 7-10 after falling...
Consistency is Killing the Marlins
With the Marlins 2-1 loss against the Mets last night a real trend has begun to emerge with the Fish. When the Marlins struggle from the plate they don't win. In the teams nine losses the Marlins have scored on average only 1.7 runs per game, and if you take out the two losses the Marlins have because of Heath Bell's blown saves that number droops to 0.9 runs per game...
Former Fan Favorite, Jose Reyes Returns To Citi Field As The Enemy
Jose Reyes was never my favorite Mets player. In fact, he probably wouldn't find himself in my personal top five. However, as a fan who considers the triple to be the most exciting play in baseball, Reyes is without question the most exciting player I've ever seen strap on the blue and orange of the New York Mets.Reyes made things happen, seemingly always putting immense...
Don’t Let The Door Hit Ya
When Jose Reyes inked his name on a six-year, 106 million dollar deal back in December it was admittedly hard to be rationale. The Mets were seemingly letting one of the faces of their franchise walk away to a division rival.
With all that being said, months later it is becoming increasingly apparent that Met fans need to collectively stand up and salute Sandy Alderson for saving...
Losing Skid Hits Four
The Miami Marlins lost their fourth straight game on Wednesday as the New York Mets won 5-1. The game continued a rough road trip for Miami which has not won since leaving Marlins Park last week and has been outscored 12-4 in the span. The Marlins who are in last place in the National League East now sit at 7-10 on the year.
Mark Buehrle put together another great effort...

Cheering for Jose Reyes
I went to Citi Field last night specifically to cheer Jose Reyes in his first game back in New York. I appreciate all he did for the team and can't see how anyone can blame him for leaving when the Mets did not make him an offer. I stood and cheered for his first at-bat, then treated him like any other member of the Marlins, rooting for the Mets to get him out, but not booing...
Marlins-Mets Preview
After spending the previous nine seasons pacing the New York Mets, the Miami Marlins' Jose Reyes is looking forward to returning to the Big Apple.

Mets slip past Marlins
The night was supposed to be all about ex-Met Jose Reyes' return to New York in his splashy new Miami Marlins uniform. The more significant story, though, turned out to be a pair of gems thrown by aces injured in 2011, as Johan Santana and Josh Johnson locked up in an old-fashioned pitchers' duel in the first game of their three-game series at Citi Field on Tuesday. As...
