1. surprised they didn't go for Pavano
granted i really wished they did not, being that I am huge marlins fan, but I was preparing myself for him to be lost. we still may not keep him, but our chances are better with one less team in the hunt.

13. who knows?!
Penny was awsome, he and Pavano were our only near garuanteed wins each time they started. I'm glad we got Lo Duca and Mota and am even gladder that Conine was not included in the deal, but still! :grr:
however, NONE of this would've come up had Pudge's agent not DEMANDED a pay raise. If we kept him, no Penny trade and the marlins may be celebrating their THIRD world series title!

8. I'm hearing Renteria's physical will be tuesday, then

At this point, the money, everything else is a DONE DEAL.

14. Woooo hoooo!
Great news!! :bounce:


Except about Wells. That's a little tougher to take.

What's the status on Kapler, Bellhorn and Pokey?
Lowe and Cabrera are gone for sure right?
