Painful

[Erick]

At least Heath Bell still has his consecutive saves streak.

Heath Bell sucked, and we still lost.

[Party]

Worst loss of the year. Heath Bell's bloated ass really knows how to take a shit on games. You have a four run lead asshole, just run out the clock.

[Blackout Pact]

fuck that.

[Mainge]

This is one is on me fellas. Spent the day in Miami between the parade, lunch, movies and Marleens. Come top 9, the gang and I are beat and decide the time is right to get a jumpstart on traffic and take off.

Of course Heath Bell is fat as hell and the rest is history.

9th inning collapse was worst ever for Marlins

Sifting through the day-after debris of last night's mammoth collapse by the Marlins....

Never in the history of the Marlins -- either the Florida or Miami versions -- have they experienced a ninth-inning meltdown as severe as last night's debacle. The Marlins took a seemingly comfortable 6-2 lead into the ninth before losing 8-7 in the 10th. Heath Bell cracked big-time in the ninth, coughing up four runs to the Cardinals.

According to Stats Inc., the Marlins had never before blown a ninth-inning lead of four runs or greater in a loss. They did, however, squander a four-run lead in the 10thinning of an 8-7 defeat in Atlanta on Sept. 17, 2006. Here is the box from that particular disaster.

Before last night, the largest blown lead in the ninth inning of a Marlins loss was three runs, which had occurred seven times previously.
