The battle for division supremacy begins tonight. Brett “the Hitman” Myers (2-6, 5.79) will face Mark “I’m Not Lance” Hendrickson (7-2, 4.14). I suppose at some point this was supposed to be a “Battle of The Aces,” but so far only one appears to have shown up.

As a public service to you, the reader, I will share what I know about the Florida Marlins…

1. Since their inaugural season in 1993, the Marlins have won more World Series than every other team in the NL East combined. They’ve managed to do this without ever once winning a division title.
2. Despite having held the best record in the National League, they are dead last in attendance (421,089, 16th of 16 through May 27).

4. Their biological family classification is Istiophoridae.
5. They taste great in beer batter with tartar sauce, fries and cole slaw.
6. They are based somewhere in Florida, allegedly.
