At the end of last season when the Florida Marlins started selling off there high price talent again, I thought to myself is this going to be the worst team in baseball? Well we are 11 weeks into the season and they are 2nd place in there division with a winning record of 36-29 and a 2 game winning streak. Winning in style last night, after Kevin Gregg had yet again let two runners on first and third, a perfect opportunity for a double play. Chase Utley comes to the plate and hits a ground ball to Dan Uggla at second base. He turned and tossed the ball, Hanley couldn’t get the ball out of his mitt fast enough and the runner from third scored and Gregg had blown his forth save, or so we thought. Reliever Tom Gordon from the Phillies got into a jam himself by walking Ramirez. Bringing up Jorge Cantu who had two solo home runs to the plate, he singled, after Gordon then walked Wes Helms to load the bases. Dan Uggla came to the plate and hit a walk off grand slam. The first walk off grand slam bye a Marlin since Bobby Bonilla did it in 1997. Kevin Gregg ended up with the win and Tom Gordon with the loss.
