I will be limping over to this game after hurting my toe today at work. Please make this worth my while, Marlins.

Magic game on instead of this. I suppose that will do.

BC has such a cannon for an arm. I'm watching bp from the left field foul section. BC has been practicing playing balls off the wall and throwing absolute lasers into 2nd.

Now Pinto and Nunez are talking to two Hispanic chicks. Since I don't speak Spanish, I don't know if they know them or are hitting on them (or already did for that matter).

How close are you to the field, MBA?

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

During bp, I was standing on the rail out in the left field foul territory near the warning track. My seat is behind home plate, 14 rows back from the expensive seats and 21 rows back from the fench. I doubt that'll be low enough to see me on tv but you can look for me. I'm the chick with long red hair wearing a black Marlins jersey and hat.

2 pretty meh AB's to open the game.

Johnson got his money, he doesn't care anymore.

Bud Norris, and his double-chin, have been impressive.

Cam is crushing the ball tonight.

Gaby crushed that one. Absolutely should've been scored a double.

Great inning. Come on, Hanley. Keep it going.
