Series Preview: Giants/Marlins

San Francisco Giants first baseman Rich Aurilia fields a ground ball in the first game of the doubleheader against Washington.

I should hate the Marlins more. I mean, I absolutely despise the franchise, but I don't bleed from the eyes when I think about them. Both of the Marlins' championships have gone through San Francisco. Think about that. Miami: Two championship parades down Teal Street, or whatever their main drag is called. San Francisco: Nothin'.

But when there aren't any in-your-face fans to constantly remind you, the hatred goes down to a low simmer. Every once in a while, I'll look with admiration at the strong young core the Marlins seem to build every three years, which is the same gestation period as the alpine salamander. Coincidence? Probably. Where was I?

Oh, right. The admiration. I'll have to look in a mirror and slap the admiration out of myself. Bad, naughty admiration. Even if the Marlins weren't evil, Jeffrey Loria certainly is, so that would be another reason to hate the team.

It's hard to remember, though, so I'll find myself on their Baseball Reference page, coveting their non-Bonifacio infield. So sleek; so powerful; so clanky in the field. I'd like to trade Ramon Ortiz for the whole bunch.

Hitter to watch:

Dan Uggla is hot, so that means the price just jumped from Tim Alderson to Madison Bumgarner.

Pitcher to watch:

Andrew Miller is not Tim Lincecum, and yet there was a time that everyone was hoping Miller would fall to the Giants in the 2006 draft because of bonus demands. Because nothing ever works out for the Giants in the grand scheme of things, that means Miller will throw nine shutout innings, and he'll also manage to injure a Giants' player somehow. You've been warned.

Prediction:

Rain.

Marlins take

I originally resented the 1997 Marlins for the way they bought their way to the title. But later I came to admire that as satire, for proving that a title can be won that crassly.

The 2003 Marlins were a low-budget, all-prospect team. There’s nothing to resent about that.

Good for them. Too bad for us.

Probably would have to buy from the team stores directly at the ballparks. I don’t think they sell the jerseys on the SJ Giants website.

Whereabouts are you? I could probably pick up a Grizz or Giants jersey and mail them to you if you’re far away.

It’s not a bother for me to go to SJ or Fresno. I go to Fresno once a month or so, and SJ’s just an hour drive away. I dunno if they have the player jerseys, but I can always ask and report back on what is available.

“And that’s exactly why I don’t know how you can stand it.”

I don’t resent the Marlins at all. I actually think its pretty cool that they’ve won 2 World Series in their short existence. I also was a fan of some of their players back on the 97 team. Bobby Bonilla, Nen, Livan, Sheffield (before he became a big time douche as a Dodger), Moises Alou, and Jim Leyland. Although I did root for the Indians, since they’re my 2nd team, and Matt Williams was on their team.

As for 03, I just really hate and resent that Pudge had a ridiculous series against us because I can’t stand him. And Urbina really annoyed me too with his antics after every pitch. But I also liked a lot of guys on their team like Derek Lee, Miggy Cabrera, Dontrelle, Beckett, Lowell. Was nice to see a lifer like McKeon win one too, especially against the stupid Yankees, AT Yankee Stadium no less. I kinda blame Alou, Gene Glynn and our shitty bullpen for not winning that series, and really find it hard to hate the Marlins as a whole other than those 2 douches I named above.
