The Miami Marlins Experiment Off To Fine Start




After getting outclassed by defending champ St. Louis on Opening Night and off to a ho-hum 2-3 start, the newly-configured Marlins have figured out a way to stay relevant off the field courtesy of two former White Sox.

Manager Ozzie Guillen has again showed the ugly side of his ebulant personality with comments concerning his "love" for Fidel Castro. The Marlins have followed that up with a five game suspension. Funny, these 2008 comments hadn't been called out during Marlins management's pre-hire infatuation with the centerpiece of their new full-on push for the South Florida Latino market. That Latino contingent has now turned on the Marlins before they could enjoy anything but an extravagantly-priced Opening Night. Just another turn in the ongoing Ozzie saga. Guesses on how long the Guillen era lasts in Miami?

Follow that up with this gem on Mark Buehrle getting attacked by a jar of Heileman's on the day of his first NL start (albeit a solid six inning, two hit loss) and only another Carlos Zambrano outburst could complete the trinity of Marlins hilarity that will surely ensue this season.

Go Fish!
