The Rays begin their final interleague series of the 2009 season with the return of the Florida Marlins to the Trop. I know I should be excited about the “Citrus Series” but I just can’t do it. But, the Marlins have won five in a row.

Blogservations 06/21/09, Marlins 6, Yankees 5
marlinmaniac.com 6/22/2009 — One hell of a way to finish a series, huh? The Marlins take it 6-5 in a nailbiter over the Yankees. At least Matt Lindstrom made it a nailbiter in 9th, but we’ll talk about that in a bit. Let’s get to some observations.

Blogservations 06/28/09, Rays 5, Marlins 2
marlinmaniac.com 6/28/2009 — A dissapointing end to a Rays sweep of the Marlins at the Trop. Still, other than today’s game, you can make the argument that the Marlins matched toe-to-toe with the team with the best run differential in the American League, so you can’t be too disappointed with the way the team ...

Seems like it’s ...
Florida Marlins: Back to to the breakeven point
blogs.sun-sentinel.com 6/24/2009 — Not the way the Marlins drew it up, but Tuesday they won for the seventh time in 10 games and are back at .500 (36-36) for the first time since May 13. Nice little rebound job -- both Tuesday and over the last month -- as the Marlins as recently as ...

Bleacher Report - MLB 6/26/2009
In July 2004, I went to a Tri-City ValleyCats (short-season A-ball) game with my uncle and his family. Pitcher Ryan McKeller (who eventually got as high as Triple-A, and is currently in Double-A) retired the first 15 Lowell Spinners batters, and the ...
