See if they'll let your Little Leaguers play instead of the Marlins. Other than improved fundamentals, nobody will even notice.
I cannot describe the level of awesomeness if the Marlins AND Astros obliterate the record.If only to hear the spin Bud puts on it.
And the mets are a "big draw"
Until Scott Stapp cuts an Astros theme song, I'm not sure how they can be on the same level.
Fernandez is the only good thing going for this team. He looks like a future cy young winner in the making.If I'm the owner I'm letting him have any perk I can until I can put a team around him.What a freakin disaster.
Their better hitters are the young guys that don't have enough ABs to qualify so technically their LEADING hitter is Polanco at .237. The OF with guys like Ozuna,Ruggiano, and lately Coghlan have at least been hitting for average the last couple weeks but the IF is pathetic at the plate. Hechevarria is awesome in the field but totally overmatched at the plate and should really be in the minors. Polanco and Dobbs at the corners are a joke.Premier said:

You never who you might run into in New York City. For Marlins rookie Derek Dietrich, it was actor Daniel-Day Leweis.Dietrich — who is starting at second base today against the New York Mets — said he spent a few minutes of his off-day talking baseball with the Oscar winning actor when they bumped into each other on a street in Greenwich Village.Here’s how it unfolded Thursdayietrich said he had just finished up with an appearance at the MLB Fan Cave and was headed to the subway when his agent, David Meter, nudged him: “Hey, D, that’s Daniel-Day Lewis on the corner.”Lewis has won three Academy Awards for Best Actor for his portrayals of Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln (2012), Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood (2007) and Christy Brown in My Left Foot (1989).As Dietrich recalled this morning, “We look and he’s talking to a young kid, who was his son. We stood there and we waited. He handed his son some money. His son went one way, he went the other. He started walking towards us.“My agent goes, ‘Hey, Daniel.’ He looked and says, ‘I’m trying to fly under the radar. You caught me.’Meter introduced Dietrich to Lewis and explained, “We’re in town playing the Mets. He’s a Marlins player.”“(Lewis) said he enjoyed baseball. He asked me how my journey to the big leagues was. ‘Is this your first year?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘How did you get here.’ I told him Georgia Tech and I started with the Rays and then I got traded and now I’m here. He enjoyed that.”Lewis posed for a photo and went his way.“As soon as I walked away I was like, ‘Man, I should have invited him to the game with his son. I’m sure he would have wanted to come,’” Dietrich said.“I love history. I’m a huge history buff and I loved the movie Lincoln. To see him was pretty cool.”
