The Florida Marlins
franchise joined Major League Baseball as part of the 1993 expansion.
In there short history the Marlins have already won 2 World
Series championships. One in 1997 against the Indians,
the other in 2003 against the Yankees. The
2007 version of the Florida Marlins does not appear to be a championship
caliber baseball team unfortunately for there fans. As the old saying
goes though, that is why they play the game. These Marlins are not
hopeless and do have some young talent that makes the fans have hope.
Young players such as Dontrelle Willis, Miguel Cabrera, Dan Uggla,
Hanley Ramirez, and Jeremy Hermida have the Marlins fans hopeful for
more world series championships in south Florida soon.

Information
When the
Marlins have winning seasons, they make them count. Two out of
the three times the Marlins have finished over .500 in their 10-year
history, they have won the World Series.
The team
was named the Marlins because the fish is a fierce fighter and
an adversary that tests your mettle. Buy Marlins Tickets In 2002
the Marlins were sold to former Expos owner Peter Loria. After
the sale, Marlins fans lost interest in the team, and the team
performed poorly. In 2003, the Marlins started slowly, but came
back to claim their second playoff berth. Entering the playoffs
few gave the Marlins any chance, however they defeated the San
Francisco Giants in the NLDS and the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS
to advance to their second World Series. In the World Series,
the Marlins met the New York Yankees, and again were not given
much of a shot, but the Marlins defeated the Yankees for their
second World Championship. The Marlins entered the 2004 season
with high hopes after winning the 2003 World Series, but despite
finishing above .500 they fell short of reaching the postseason.
Nyjer Morgan's wild week has landed him an eight-game suspension, one of nine punishments handed out Friday by Major League Baseball following a brawl between Washington Nationals and Florida Marlins. MLB suspended Nationals outfielder Morgan and fined him an undisclosed amount for three separate incidents over the past week.
<p>Left-hander Andrew Miller's assignment to the bullpen didn't last very long.</p>
<p>Called up from Class AAA New Orleans on Aug. 18 to serve as a reliever, Miller will replace injured right-hander Ricky Nolasco in the rotation starting Friday when Florida opens a three-game series against the Braves.</p>
<p>"I've been the long guy out of the bullpen. I'm ready for whatever they ask me to do," he said.</p>
<p>Miller, a disappointment for the Marlins over the last three years, spent most of the season at Class AA Jacksonville working to refine his mechanics.</p>
<p>He has allowed six runs (five earned) in 10 innings over three big-league games this year, including one start.</p>
<p>"I've certainly made progress, but by no means am I where I want to be," he said.
Major League Baseball is expected to deliver its ruling on punishment for the Washington Nationals' Nyjer Morgan on Friday, two days after Morgan was involved in a bench-clearing brawl in a game against the Florida Marlins. Citing sources, ESPN.com reports MLB officials are reviewing "a range of incidents" involving Morgan since Aug. 21, when the outfielder threw a ball into the stands and hit a fan in the head at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Ballpark.
Florida Marlins catcher John Baker will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair an injury to his throwing elbow that sidelined him for most of this season, meaning he might not play again until 2012. Dr. James Andrews will perform the reconstructive surgery Friday, the Marlins said. Baker has been sidelined since May 12 and had hoped to return this year, but he endured repeated setbacks in...
Washington Nationals outfielder Nyjer Morgan found himself the target of retaliation on Wednesday. He took his punishment once. But when Florida Marlins pitcher Chris Volstad threw a fastball behind Morgan's head in the sixth inning, tempers exploded into a bench-clearing brawl. Volstad hit Morgan in the hip in the fourth inning, a night after Morgan bowled over Marlins catcher Brett Hayes. The collision left Hayes with a separated shoulder. After trotting to first, Morgan then rubbed salt into the Marlins' wound by stealing second and third while the...
Florida Marlins pitcher Ricky Nolasco is done for the season with a tear in his right knee and catcher Brett Hayes is out indefinitely with a separated left shoulder. Nolasco (14-9, 4.51) was evaluated after experiencing some discomfort. He said he will undergo surgery next week. "It's just not letting me do what I want to do," he said Wednesday.

Nyjer Morgan of the Washington Nationals has charged the mound after a pitch from Florida's Chris Volstad sailed behind him, setting off a wild brawl between the teams. Morgan took a big swing that appeared to graze Volstad's face in the fifth inning Wednesday night. Marlins first baseman Gaby Sanchez clothes-lined Morgan, knocking off his batting helmet and sending him to the ground.
Hanley Ramirez used both his offensive and defensive skills to help the Florida Marlins get a much needed win. Chad Tracy singled home Ramirez with the winning run in the 10th inning to help the Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 1-0 on Tuesday night and break a three-game losing streak. Ramirez singled with one out off reliever Drew Storen, then stole second.
Ryan Zimmerman hit a ball about as far as he can remember. His three-run home run along with a three-run homer by Adam Dunn powered the Washington Nationals to a 9-3 win over the Florida Marlins on Monday night in a game that's start was delayed nearly three hours by rain. Zimmerman's blast off an Alex Sanabia (3-2) change-up in the third inning hit off the facing of the upperdeck in left...
Brian McCann knew it was a homer. So did the Florida Marlins. But the only guys who mattered were wearing blue, and they needed to see a replay. Upon further review, it was a win for the Atlanta Braves. For the first time in baseball history, a game ended on an overturned call after the umpires took a look at the video of McCann's drive that ricocheted back onto the field in the ninth inning...
No way the Braves were blowing this big lead. Not with Tim Hudson on the mound. Hudson struck out a career-high 13 and Martin Prado equaled his career best with five RBIs, powering Atlanta to a 12-3 rout of the Florida Marlins on Saturday night. Matt Diaz and Eric Hinske also homered for the Braves, who scored six runs in the second and snapped a four-game losing streak, their longest since April.
Cameron Maybin went up to the plate ready to swing, and the Florida Marlins never let up. They're not giving up on the playoffs, either. Maybin homered on the first pitch of the game, Logan Morrison followed with his first career homer and Chris Volstad pitched eight strong innings to lead the Marlins past the slumping Atlanta Braves 7-1 on Friday night.
The moment is still frozen in time: Hank Aaron rounding the bases after hitting his record 715th home run when, suddenly, two young fans ran up from behind to pat him on the shoulder. On Friday, Aaron got a rare chance to reminisce with those who briefly shared his moment on glory on April 8, 1974. "It's wonderful to see them," Aaron said before the Atlanta Braves opened a series...
Hanley Ramirez doesn't even try to explain why he hits so well against the New York Mets, though the guys in the opposing clubhouse no doubt would like to hear an answer. It might have something to do with his spot in the lineup, at least this week. Back in his familiar No. 3 role again, Ramirez belted a two-run homer and finished with three hits to cap another spectacular series against the...
