Where to begin?

Boy did the Marlins drop a tough one tonight.  Since I am tired and have no voice, hair or fingernails left after this game, I will just list a few reasons why the Fish lost this one.

1. It starts with the starting pitching. And 4 runs in 5 innings from your 'ace' is not acceptable
2. You cannot live and die on the homerun.  It looks nice, and though it gave the Marlins the lead twice, they also struck out a ridiculous 16 times.  Shorten up and put the ball in play
3. Defense.  Carlos Beltran made a game-changing catch robbing Jones of a two-run double; Jorge Cantu fielded (or didn't) like....Jorge Cantu. And that's starting to really p*** me off.
4. Why was Amezaga starting against a leftie? He cannot hit a lick from the right side of the plate.
5. When your leadoff hitter isn't getting on base, you have trouble scoring.  Let's go Hanley
6. Gregg blew the save. It happens, and an 0-2 fastball to Chavez was a good idea, but he missed over the plate with it.  Kevin gets a little bit of a pass because he's been so good, and the Marlins should have scored more runs for him.....
7. .....By not making Heilman look like Cy Young
8. Walking the leadoff batter was inexcusable by Miller. He has been in a bit of a funk lately, and he didn't do his team any favors by blowing the second save of the game for the bullpen. 

Losses like this happen during the season to everyone, but the Marlins should have sealed the deal.  And losing like this to New York makes it even worse. The Marlins must shake this one off and put it behind them. As much as it stinks, there is nothing you can do about it now.  A day off, then on to Philly.  Hendrickson better have his A game going, and the offense better stop swinging for the fences every time up, or else they will be looking up at the Phillies instead of down very soon. I am not going to sleep very well tonight...

P.S. no pictures are present, because if I could find one to express my mood, I would be banned from ever posting on this site again.
