9/27 Marlins V. Mets

[Fish and Chips]

THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer fan and the sunshine bandwagoner will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their team; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and mba. Playoff, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Thomas Paine's Marlins Crisis

MIAMI -- Florida Marlins ace Josh Johnson has been scratched from his start against the New York Mets because of the flu.

Manager Fredi Gonzalez said he sent Johnson home Sunday because the right-hander was running a fever when he arrived at the ballpark several hours before the game. Johnson was expected to see a doctor. It was uncertain whether he would fly with the team to Atlanta for the start of the next series.

Chris Volstad replaced Johnson in the Marlins' home finale. First baseman Nick Johnson also wasn't at the game because of illness.

Gonzalez said Josh Johnson might start Tuesday at Atlanta if he recovers quickly.

We usually play well against the Chargers, WGW.

Could be Uggla's last game in Miami.

Could be Uggla's last game in Miami as a Marlin.
