Sweep?

Florida (2-0) has totaled 20 runs and 21 hits in cruising to two easy victories over Washington (0-2) to start the season. Cantu has homered in both games, and is 4-for-7 with five RBIs while Bonifacio is 6-for-10 with four runs scored and four RBIs.

The most important thing is that our pitching, and so far it's been pretty decent, our starting pitching," Florida manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "The offense is going to go here and there, but I think we got some speed in the lineup where you got to run into a tough pitcher but you should be able to manufacture runs with our speed."

The Marlins will start Chris Volstad, who pitched very well last season as a rookie after his contract was purchased from Double-A Carolina on July 6.

The 6-foot-8 right-hander went 6-4 with a 2.88 ERA in 15 appearances -- 14 starts -- for Florida in 2008. He did not pitch as well at home, going 2-3 with a 3.61 ERA in eight starts.

This will be Volstad's first appearance against Washington.

I don't think the Nationals even qualify as an MLB team the way they're playing right now.

Read what I posted carefully. Minor league teams can beat MLB teams on a given day! No lock.

Washington may be a play

really washington?

Easy pick there to give Marlins the nod for a solid chance at a sweep. But the best bet tonight has to be getting Lilly and the Cubs in the -135 range at Houston. Forget Lilly's slow spring; he has absolutely owned the Astros and pitched well in H-Town.

I like the marlins might go to the game

GOOD point sir. I will take note of that.
