]]> The Miami Marlins had to settle for splitting their two-game series with the Atlanta Braves, after a second straight disappointing start from Ricky Nolasco. The Marlins are now 9-2 in their last 11 home games. The Marlins will not be taking their talents to Cleveland, to face the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland fans are not too big on neither the city of Miami nor the Marlins. It will be interesting to see if any Miami Heat hecklers show up to the game.

]]> The Marlins are coming off one of the most disappointing weeks of their season, continuing their home stand versus the Atlanta Braves. The Braves and Fish are in a virtual tie for second place, but neither team is playing particularly well. Still, the Braves will throw their best pitchers out there to salvage a mediocre offensive effort, and the Marlins will attempt to do the same.
