epted his invitation and off we went to Dolphin Stadium to see Florida take on the NL West leading Arizona Diamondbacks.
Starting for the Marlins was (7-4) Ricky Nolasco. Despite the fact that the Marlins were recently swept by the best team in Florida, the Rays, they seemed likely to bounce back against D-backs' starter Micah Owings, who must be allergic to hitting 90 mph on the radar gun.

The Arizona Diamondbacks surprised a lot of people by winning this division last year and should only get better this year. Their young talent in the line-up, Stephen Drew, Conor Jackson, Chris Young and Justin Upton will be better this year, which is scary. They still have some very solid veterans with Eric Byrnes and Orlando Hudson (back this year after being injured a lot of last season). This team also has a very scary starting rotation. Brandon Webb is a perennial CY Young candidate, they brought in Dan Haren (who should be even better in the NL) and they hope Randy Johnson can stay healthy (he was having a very good year before injuring his back). Their bullpen is the only question mark to me. Brandon Lyon is a solid closer and they have some young talent but they lack the experience. This team should be right back in the hunt for the division crown again this season.
