Know Thy Marlins v2

Apparently, the Mets aren't concerned that I didn't get this up in time.

And apparently, I should have picked up Omir Santos instead of Jesus Flores this week to replace the injured Brian McCann.

But anyway -- since we last left the Marlins, not much has changed, except:

* They've lost six in a row, getting swept by the Pirates and Phillies.
* Logan Kensing is gone, and Burke Badenhop has replaced him in the bullpen.
* Andrew Miller is on the DL, but we won't see his replacement, Graham Taylor, as he got shelled yesterday by the Phillies.

Even the three pitching matchups are exactly the same:

FRIDAY 7:10 -- Anibal Sanchez (1-1, 2.50) vs John Maine
Round 1: 5-4 Marlins on a ninth-inning RBI single from Jorge Cantu
SATURDAY 6:10 -- Ricky Nolasco (1-2, 6.86) vs Livan Hernandez
Round 1: 8-4 Mets thanks to a nice performance by Livan in his Mets debut. Remember, the Mets hit Nolasco well.
SUNDAY 1:10 -- Josh Johnson (2-0, 2.20) vs Johan Santana
Round 1: Let's just not go there. Johnson is 5-0 career against the Mets.
