Miami

The Florida Marlins' 2009 season got off to nothing short of a dream start back in April. Two full weeks into the season the Fish were 11-1 with the best record in baseball and a wide lead in the NL East. Sure it was early in the season, but it was the best start in team history and it energized South Florida with prospects that the franchise was finally ready to see its youth movement served with a strong post season run. Then the team hit a bit of a road block. After their fast start the Marlins would finish April on a 3-7 run, dropping their record to 14-13. At this point the team still had a winning record and had finished the month with a 3 game win streak against strong opponents, perhaps the 7 game slump was just a hiccup. The month of May however would prove it was no hiccup as the Marlins went from bad to worse as the Marlins went 9-20 and won back to back games only twice. So far in June the Marlins appear to have only leveled out as they are on a current stretch of 13 games in which they’ve won back to back only once and typically win one night and lose the next.

This Miami Dolphins’ team has shown they have heart and they can be a contender for at least a playoff spot. This maybe a rebuilding year, but it’s a rebuilding year that may result in a winning record.

Here is a definition of what a Flea-Flicker or Trick Play is all about. 

One team will lead the defensive players on the opposing team to think they are playing a normal running play, this will cause the opposing team to leave their position and go after the running back, this leaves the quarterback to have the space to pass the football off.

Guess who is the player this month?

Ted Ginn, Jr.  Why did I pick Ginn?  Because he is finally being recognized and attributed for who he is, and that is a modest, good team player.  Not like immodest Linebacker, Joey Porter, 55.

The Dolphins know their battle in Denver was worth leaving early to adjust to the elevation, but they tell themselves it is just another typical football field.

So as you probably know by now, week 4 is the Dolphins bye week. Your fantasy football team will be defined by your play when you have star players on their bye week. Hopefully you planned for bye weeks when you drafted your team and are able to just substitute in players from your bench without having to pick up any players off waivers or free agency. However, if you did not plan for bye weeks, here are a few things you can do.

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.
