Postgame: Marlins Fail to Impress Anyone on the Field, Fall 4-1 to World Champion Cardinals

[Ramp]

really not much good happened today

it began with the awkward (and frankly, tough to watch) Muhammad Ali stuff and ended with the awkward swinging at sliders stuff

[Fritz]

Is there anyone we can trade to get John Lackey?

[AdamRavs]

We need Tebow and Jeremy Lin

[TheMendozaLine]

15 years in the making . . . and THIS is what you give us.

Boooooooo!

[Nick]

Oh yeah, our horrible play almost made me forget about the Muhammad Ali thing. What in God's name were they thinking?

[Chewford]

And so it was that on the 4th of April in the year of Akatosh, 2012, Festa doomed the Marlins to failure on opening day by creating a game thread before midnight.

If I told you the most awkward thing wasn't even the Ali moment would you believe me?

[HUGG]

Ali woulda done as well as Gaby at the plate though

[Big Z]

This park plays huge! Seems like the ball dies in CF.

You met Madman?

The Cardinals lineup is pretty meh and Kyle Loshe is not a good pitcher. The Marlins made them look like a juggernaut and Cy Young, respectively.

And if it happened in August you wouldn't say anything so shut your mouth.

Also, the Cardinals led the NL in the triple slash categories last year and runs. As wonderful as Albert Pujols is, I don't think trading him for Carlos Beltran takes you from "Best in the league without question" to "Meh."

You met Madman?

I'll explain it when I get home. My phone battery is running out.

[Beef]

It's gotta be when they met at the brick

The Ali thing was awkward, but even more so was the PA announcer trying to restart the 'Ali, Ali' chants...Come on Miami, you gotta chant for Ali better than that.
