Oh the bellanator

So who wants Leo Nunez errr I mean Juan Carlos Oviedo? The Leocoaster errr I mean the JCoaster seemed like cloud nine!

I mean he was 36 of 42. 6 blown saves in a whole year. Heath Bell has 6 of those already not including the non blown save blown save on June 25th. Oh and it's July, oh and he wasn't the closer for a few weeks too.

But since we are playing Bell 9 million lets find things for him to close. There is always the refrigerator...

But why would he close that when there is food still there? Then there is a classic cooler especially with all this awesome Yager in it.

But if he keeps dressing like this he may simply close out the Clevelander.

Whatever Ozzie guillen decides to do...if he decides to keep him closing marlins game you may just get the same old...

4-6 weeks

So that's the prognostication for our very own Giancarlo Stanton as SCWS crumbles in pain. We here did investigative reporting and came up with the conversation Ruggiano and Stanton had after the game today.

Those keeping track that's 6 home runs for ruggiano and 4 this week! His home run today went 445 ft! Yeah Giancarlo there is another bomber on the team and it's Justin Ruggiano! And don't forget .410 batting average. Really Houston, you just gave him away just like Carlos Lee? Gracias!


Side note: with Stanton going on the DL. How messed up would it be if they bring up Petersen for todays game and then promptly send him down because Emilio comes off the DL right after break? The bitching on twitter would be endless from him...

Ruggi and lee

So apparently Lee and Ruggi have something to talk about...

Cows lots and lots of cows. Ruggiano owns a ranch in Texas. Yeah that's kinda cool.
I think we need to get Ruggiano a bobblehead like this though?

Marlins P.R. department.... get on it.

Marlins and Buerhle owned Milwaukee, and Lee did his best Heath Bell impersination when he ran those bases! Ahhhhhhhh ice cream! 4-0. Off to St. Louis

Yeah so.... 4th of July con Los marlins

So today seems like an epic day in Marlins history and looking at this series in Milwaukee. It's better to just watch the last few innings which was good since I woke up when it was 5-1 and thinking great...... Until the good news poured in.

We gained 300 lbs!!!!!!! Carlos Lee is a Miami Marlin for the price of nothing. Better said a third basemen we would never play and a pitcher who would never pitch for the marlins. Oh and his salary? Yeah Houston is picking up the tab too. Seem one had a little too much to drink in Houston on the 4th! Our on base percentage at 1st base just went up .100 points! Then the teasers start teasing...they come back with a LoMo blast which leaves our nemesis and ironically Gaby's nemesis pissed.

Of course I know better and sure enough Aramis Ramirez drives in a run. But then Gaby Sanchez acting as a desperate girlfriend...knowing he just got dumped "and let you go back door" first singles in his 2nd to last at bat and then does this as his last at bat as a Miami Marlin this year.

The Marlins eventually hold on as Heath bell was promised extra ice cream if he got the save and did! Epic 7-6 win. Ok back to Gaby...Ozzie said it clear after the game. We gave him the chances to succeed here and he didn't so cya. Enjoy the chicas on bourbon street. It was one of those nasty breakups but we all nodded our heads and said damn he is right. We love you Gaby but we found someone better. Oh and if you didn't notice...Justin Ruggiano who now has 868 followers on twitter at last check (Puto) went long again...

 Yeah Justin is awesome....

Story of the desert of the best/never mind marlins games in my history

So as some may or may not know I'm in the desert of New Mexico right now which makes it hard to follow the Marlins but with an iPad and a MLB at bat app, it comes close enough (15 bucks later) So it starts out great with a LoMo 2-run shot and hey we got this.

But then Anibal Sanchez sucks today and can't keep it together. I leave my loving app and get updates knowing its 9-2 Milwaukee and simply so...oh well just one of those games. And then I get the update that my boy Justin Ruggiano bombs and I think hey I have something to blog about!

Seriously who doesn't love Justin Ruggiano and btw @justinruggiano is him so go and add him. Them I laugh that it gets closer.... 9-5. Not enough to get the hopes up. I was justified. 11-5. I'm not watching and thus grateful and even suggestion to my source to not waste their time. Then of course strikeout king goes yard. That's John Buck of course.

And I'm like yeah okay still 11-9. No chance. Axford will close the door. Then it's Scott cousins...

WTF is going on! I'm missing an amazing game. Fuck the desert. Why am I here? Then within time Reyes is on third for the sac fly and tie ball game.

I'm back home for the ninth and following along. Figured that Axford would own the ninth and they held the ninth with Dunn saving the day. Then Reyes off Mr. I love you Miami!

All the Milwaukee bloggers were mad just like we were after the meltdown Monday against St. Louis. Who blows a 9-2 lead? Fuck, we do! But Marlins fans know better and we know about Heath Bell. We know to worry and he starts with a BB. I say screw it I'm going to dinner and not watching. He gets two outs and then this!

Speechless. Yes he is 17 of 22 in save situations. For 9 million you should be 22 of 22 but no one is perfect, but here I look at Ozzie. Dunn pitches and gets an out in the 9th and lefty righty bs... But how do you not see that hey I got no backup in the bullpen lets see Dunn finish it... (I bet he does). A game were we score 12 without Giancarlo and Hanley and don't win? I guess thank god I was in the desert and couldn't just punch a wall, but hey didn't ruggiano kick ass again?

Yeah he is awesome

Sooooo guess who killed it today????????

I want them to start saying and his name is Justin ruggiano! Oh and we lost...errors walks I mean no big deal...

Does the Earth shake when this happens?

The Marlins won again putting the Phillies out of their misery and capping off a 3 game series sweep and the Phillies came out saying that we are open for business! They traded Jim Thome and now are screaming who wants Cole Hamels and who wants Shane Victorino?? I would personally LOVE Shane Victorino

The Flying Hawaiian....running around our center field and a dynamic switch hitter. And he plays tough. But he smells like Philadelphia and I dont think I want that smell of crap roaming around here either.

More importantly part of the sweep besides another hit by our boy Justin Ruggiano is the antics of our 9 million dollar closer. What can motivate a big fat closer to do this?

All this to the tune of 

Also trust me it goes a LOT slower than that and you do feel the shaking which could be the noise level of 31,000 people or well Heath Bell running or both...

So thoughts on what he is envisioning:

The save: Nah he blows those all the time... maybe its the songs fault?

Women: hey...you know a guy can get lonely in the bullpen

A nice Philly cheese steak: OH YES that has to be it. Enjoy last place Phillie "phans" thats where youll be all year.
