Weekly Recap (4/2/12-4/8/12)

Rough opening week for the Miami Marlins. We lost three out of the four games we played. The Marlins did play well and had the lead into the ninth in their third loss, but it was still a loss. Time for the Marlins to bounce back against the Philadelphia Phillies. For the preview, click here and here for Will Stanifer’s 5 predictions.
