I Totally Agree

Actual text message I received during last night's game:

to quote earl weaver: the ump and his crew are here just to fuck us!

Nothing like a losing streak...

Let's Panic, Shall We?

Ricky Nolasco has an ERA of 7.78.

Josh Johnson could not get out of the 4th inning yesterday.

Ross Gload had a home run overturned by our evil instant-replay overlords.

Our leadoff hitter his batting .262 with a .302 OBP.

The Marlins are below .500 for the first time since April 3, 2008.

But fear not, for JuanPierreWood is coming to Land Shark Stadium.

I know, it looks like the sky is falling. But allow me to remind you that the season is 162 games long, and while the Fish probably weren't as good as their 11-1 start indicated, neither are they as bad as this 7-game losing streak. B-Face and Maybin are slumping, Hanley and Cantu can't seem to keep their hands out of the way of opposing fastballs, and the bullpen is about as scary as we expected it to be, but fear not, for the Marlins will not lose 100 games this year. In fact, I'm still standing by my 86-76 prediction.

But in case you're looking for a scapegoat, I nominate this guy.
