Was this the Marlins' last gasp? It sure felt like it. As I type these words, the Mets have taken a 6-5 lead in the 10th in Milwaukee and are threatening for more. Should they hold on, the Marlins would......

Marlins have Luis Gonzalez in the starting lineup for the eighth time in the last 10 games, and so far it's working out. His 596th career double drove in the third and final run of the Marlins' first inning against......

If the Marlins still aren't sold on whether Dallas McPherson should be a part of their 2009 infield, he has another month to prove himself. McPherson will join the club Tuesday along with Robert Andino and Frankie De La Cruz.......

Cody Ross wasn't trying to start anything, but he didn't want Mike Pelfrey or the Mets to think he was backing down either. That's why Ross stopped on his way to first and said a few unprintables to Pelfrey after......

The Marlins have shut down struggling closer Kevin Gregg due to a balky left knee. Gregg had been trying to pitch through the problem. After Friday's regrettable performance he finally told manager Fredi Gonzalez he could no longer be relied......

Say what you want about Kevin Gregg and whether he should be immediately or gradually removed from the closer's role after blowing his major league-leading ninth save Friday. Can we at least agree that it's all but a certainty Gregg......

Just got out of the Marlins' clubhouse, where Luis Gonzalez correctly assessed the situation in the NL East. "Our backs are pretty much to the wall here," he said after a 4-2 loss to the Braves that dropped the third-place......

Funny exchange between Fredi Gonzalez and his old friend Chipper Jones before Thursday's game. Fredi was talking with the media when Chipper trotted over and yelled down from the dugout railing: "Hey, what are the odds of you trading us......

Wow. Josh Johnson was tremendous tonight in a four-hit complete game victory over the Braves. He threw 113 pitches to go the distance for the first time in the majors, and this was his first nine-inning job ever: including high......

Marlins fans, rejoice! Struggling reliever Renyel Pinto was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Sunday, with what the team is calling a strained left hamstring. However, Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez could not pinpoint the duration of the stated ailment......

Another fantastic effort from Ricky Nolasco Sunday, and boy, did the Marlins need it. They won the series over the first-place Diamondbacks, a team they beat in seven of nine meetings. In addition, they also gained ground on the Mets,......

Friday's 5-4 win over the Diamondbacks cemented this notion for me: a top priority for the Marlins this offseason should be getting a Paul Lo Duca-type hitter to bat second. Lo Duca illustrated the impact of having a contact guy......

Forget for a moment that the Marlins got a three-run, pinch-hit, game-tying homer in the top of the ninth from John Baker Wednedsay only to lose in the bottom half. Let's look at this mathematically. The Marlins can still win......

The term "no-hit stuff" is bandied about rather freely when a pitcher has his way with an opponent. I don't think I'm guilty of applying it improperly when I say Ricky Nolasco had no-hit stuff Tuesday. Nolasco took a one-hitter......

Baseball America's annual Best Tools survey came out today, or at least the print addition arrived in my soggy mailbox today. Surprisingly, just one Marlin made the National League list, which included 25 categories and three players per listing. That......
