Baseball is America's pastime, but had our forefathers enjoyed the modern conveniences of clocks, ball pumps, or haste, this pastime may well have been basketball or football. Instead, they had wood, leather, and a rudderless disposition. Baseball is Boring is a series of live blogs for folks who need irony and self-awareness to get through a game.
The NL East is quickly becoming one of the more interesting divisions in baseball as of late. Of course last year went to the NL West, which as everyone knows quickly disbanded when the state of California detached from the contiguous United States and recessed into the Pacific. To this day the grease lingers atop its surface.
The Braves and Marlins are tied in the win column coming into today, with the Marlins holding onto a game lead in standings. The Phillies (35-25) are 2.5 games ahead, although they have to face the mighty Volquez of the Reds, who's an even trade for Josh Hamilton only a pitcher and not on crack.
THE ESSENTIALS
The Marlins (31-26) start Mark Hendrickson (7-3, 5.27 ERA).
The Braves (31-28) start Tom Glavine (2-2, 4.56 ERA).
ANALYSIS
My only experience with Marlins comes from Donkey Kong 64. I'm, of course, talking about Enguarde. He could spear the hell out of pretty much anything/anyone in that game. A level that took you 3 minutes could be completed in 40 seconds, bonuses included. What I'm getting at is that until Native Americans start helping me whomp dudes in Doom I'm not picking them over the almighty fish.
PREDICTION
Marlins over Braves, 6-3.
