The Fightin' Fish Win It All



Florida Marlins 2

New York Yankees 0



Florida wins the series 4-2.



What a fantastic game. The Marlins not only won, but made the Yankees look incompetent doing it. With the way he pitched tonight, Josh Beckett is going to be a superstar. Baseball buffs take note--Florida has won two world championships without ever finishing in first place. Instead, they went from the worst record in baseball to the best post-Allstar Break record. Quite impressive for a team of young, no name upstarts with a 72 year old manager.



I do wish in some ways that Roger Clemens could have ended his career on a more positive note, but like Nolan Ryan, great careers don't always end on high notes. I suppose Don Zimmer could tell you the same thing, but he's probably too busy charging some loud mouth infielder less than half his age--and probably winding up on his can in the process.
