West Coast baseball and two former Marlins having issues?

So the Marlins are on a nice little West Coast swing. 11 days 11 games through the West Coast including Denver, Arizona, and Los Angeles (which isnt exactly the West coast except for LA) but it means later start times and a lot less people watching and Rich and Tommy having their excuse to say dumb stuff because it is either "Late night with the fish" or "happy hour with the fish"

First stop is Coors Field home of the worst record in the NL West Colorado Rockies.

Its a run scoring game every time you go a mile high in baseball as there is less resistance on the ball and the ball will travel further as you can see in Giancarlo and Lee's home runs last night. Giancarlo Stanton has homered in 4 straight game at Coors Field as really really loves Rockies pitchers. He has homered 7 times against them in limited games and has homered in every game he has played at Coors Field (4). 



Who can't forget that amazing moment!!
Don't turn off the tube when he is up today. Also Wade LeBlanc, the Marlins best pitcher right now, takes his shot and turning the trip around 

-AJ Burnett and Hanley Ramirez had a cute spat yesterday, both former Marlins who people dont care too much for. Amazing how AJ Burnett has revived his career in Pittsburgh. 15 wins... wow. 

-Burnett, who called a players meeting before Wednesday's game, got angry after the Dodgers took their only lead in the fourth when Ramirez hit a two-run homer.
As Ramirez rounded second base during his home-run trot, he circled his eyes with his fingers as he turned in the direction of Burnett. The gesture is a trademark of Ramirez's.
"If you're going to hit a homer, act like you've hit one before," Burnett said. "The first batter, Loney, hit one, was very professional about it. Ran hard the whole way. I just thought he did a little something at second base. I could be wrong. It was heat of the moment."
When Ramirez struck out swinging to end the sixth, Burnett screamed at him as he walked off the mound. Ramirez was reprimanded by Campos for throwing his bat, and the two had a somewhat-heated discussion. (sit the f*** down) looks right


"I was just excited to get him out," Burnett said. "Every time someone clicks one off you, you want to get him out the next time up. He drove one that went pretty far, and then I was able to get him out so I was pretty fired up."

-Sigh the pennant race is hot and strong for everyone else but us... Next year Marlins fans next year!
