From Snakes to Sticks, Broomsticks that is

Holy Fish sweeping Snakes Batman!!!  The first place Florida Marlins have just swept the Arizona Diamondbacks, a team that had the best record in the NL just three days ago.  And the finale came with a lefty throwing 7 shutout innings.  Lo and behold it wasn't Hendrickson or Olsen, but Andrew Miller!  Yes, THAT Andrew Miller who seemingly gave up 32 baserunners and 21 runs every time he took the mound earlier in the season.  How about the 3 combined runs allowed by the Fish in the whole series!! You knew coming in that to beat Owings, Webb and Haren that the Marlins would have to pitch their tails off and win low-scoring games.  And they did just that!  I was a little disappointed that my boss didn't accept the 'two first place teams are playing and one of them is my team' excuse and I had to work through the last 2 games thus i cannot really comment on the details of the games; but I am pumped up nonetheless. It was nice to see the Marlins rebound and sweep the series against a good team after going through a little bit of a funk last week.  They must keep the momentum rolling now as a team with a losing record rolls into town this weekend.  4-2 on the homestand so far, let's get to 6-3 before the tough roadtrip.  And plllllllleeeeeease don't let the Fish be the first Win for Zito this season.  For some reason or another, I just have a bad feeling about tomorrow night. But regardless, I will rejoice in knowing that the Marlins are tied with 3 other teams for the fewest losses in the league (19) heading into Memorial Day Weekend.  And I am sure that you will rejoice in this stream of consciousness blog come to an end. Hey it is almost midnight and I'm off to dream about a SportsCenter Marlins highlight, because we know I'll never see one with my eyes open.  Yet they will focus an early segment of the show on a 60-second highlight of a last place team (the Yankees) winning a game. I could go on, but what's the point? You know what I'm saying. Good night all, and in case you didn't know,  THE FISH ARE IN FIRST PLACE BABY!!!!!!
