The Marlins have an All-Star who should be in the game for years to come. Plus, NBA free agency is underway and I've got a pick for the worst person in the NBA. And, the SEC officially has two new members.
icky Nolasco pitched seven strong innings, Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run home run, and the Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep of the struggling Philadelphia Phillies with a 5-2 win Sunday.
The Marlins and Phillies both hope to get their seasons turned around in July, beginning in Sunday's series finale in Miami.
Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove in two runs, Mark Buehrle pitched seven strong innings and the Miami Marlins beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-2 Saturday for their third straight win.
If you've ever seen Giancarlo Stanton take batting practice, you understand the power he has from the plate. Now, the entire country is about to see that power during the All-Star break.
The NBA Draft is tonight and the Heat have the 27th overall pick. Giancarlo Stanton is headed to the home run derby contest (awesome) and don't look now, but the Marlins won again!

The Miami Marlins are looking a lot like the 2011 Florida Marlins in the month of June.
Hmm, now that the NBA season is over, what shall we talk about for the next 50+ days until teams report for training camp in the NFL and college? Well, the Marlins continue to suck the life out of Miami, or the death of the BCS, or the NBA Draft? Decisions, decisions, decisions.
The Miami Marlins have had a number of losses in June, 17 to be exact. The latest one might be the toughest.
Mark Buehrle pitched effectively for seven innings to become the winningest pitcher in interleague play, John Buck hit a three-run homer to help the Miami Marlins with a 9-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.
As the losses continue to pile up, the Miami Marlins appear to be reaching their wits end. The Marlins try to avoid a season-worst seventh consecutive defeat and 16th in 18 games Sunday when they conclude a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays, winners of six of eight.
Edwin Encarnacion hit a tiebreaking homer in the top of the ninth and Colby Rasmus had a grand slam later in the inning, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays to a 7-1 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday.
Jose Bautista homered and drove in three runs, Kelly Johnson also had three RBIs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the skidding Miami Marlins 12-5 on Friday night.
It's almost time for the King's coronation in Miami as the Heat take a 3-1 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Plus, the Marlins get 5 RBI's from Logan Morrison and still lose. Quite a dichotomy of teams huh?
The Heat are at home and in position to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals with a victory tonight. What do they have to do to win? Plus the woeful Marlins take the field again tonight, should we expect a win finally?
The Miami Marlins miserable June continued over the weekend as the Fish dropped two of three to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Miami Heat played about as poorly a third quarter as you could play and still won, more on that later. The Marlins, well they're sinking faster than the president's re-election chances. And my guess on the Dolphins quarterback situation heading into training camp.
Alex Cobb pitched two-hit ball for seven innings, B.J. Upton homered and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Miami Marlins 3-0 on Sunday.
Josh Johnson has experienced plenty of frustration over the past few years, having dealt with season-ending injuries in 2010 and 2011 and a rough start to 2012. Now, he's seemed to recapture the form that had the Miami Marlins believing he'd be their ace for years to come.
Scott Cousins' bat was a welcome addition to Miami's sputtering lineup. The center fielder had his first hits in more than a year, going 3 for 7 and delivering an RBI triple in the 15th inning that sent the Marlins to a 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night.
The Miami Marlins have finally finished one of the worst home stands since June 2011 with a 10-2 thumping at the hands of the Boston Red Sox. The home stand was miserable for both the team and the fans.
Hmm….which should be the big story today? The Heat looking to avoid going down 0-2 in the NBA Finals or the Miami Marlins resuming their role or NBA Commissioner David Stern acting like a petulant child? It's all in the agenda.
Felix Doubront allowed only three hits while pitching a career-high seven innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the reeling Miami Marlins 10-2 Wednesday night.
