In there short history the Marlins have already won 2 World
Series championships. One in 1997 against the Indians,
the other in 2003 against the Yankees. The
2007 version of the Florida Marlins does not appear to be a championship
caliber baseball team unfortunately for there fans. As the old saying
goes though, that is why they play the game. These Marlins are not
hopeless and do have some young talent that makes the fans have hope.
Young players such as Dontrelle Willis, Miguel Cabrera, Dan Uggla,
Hanley Ramirez, and Jeremy Hermida have the Marlins fans hopeful for

Information
When the
Marlins have winning seasons, they make them count. Two out of
the three times the Marlins have finished over .500 in their 10-year
history, they have won the World Series.
The team
was named the Marlins because the fish is a fierce fighter and
an adversary that tests your mettle. Buy Marlins Tickets In 2002
the Marlins were sold to former Expos owner Peter Loria. After
the sale, Marlins fans lost interest in the team, and the team
performed poorly. In 2003, the Marlins started slowly, but came
back to claim their second playoff berth. Entering the playoffs
few gave the Marlins any chance, however they defeated the San
Francisco Giants in the NLDS and the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS
to advance to their second World Series. In the World Series,
the Marlins met the New York Yankees, and again were not given
much of a shot, but the Marlins defeated the Yankees for their
second World Championship. The Marlins entered the 2004 season
with high hopes after winning the 2003 World Series, but despite
finishing above .500 they fell short of reaching the postseason.
<p>Now that they have traded Jorge Cantu, the Marlins will choose from three players to help fill in at third base until Chris Coghlan returns to action.</p>
<p>Marlins baseball operations president Larry Beinfest said Coghlan would move to third base when he returns from the disabled list, but the team is preparing for the possibility that Coghlan could be out the rest of the season.</p>
<p>The team will call up Hector Luna from Class AAA New Orleans. Luna, who's hitting .294 with 16 homers and 71 RBI in New Orleans, will join the Marlins on Friday in San Diego.</p> <p>Manager Edwin Rodriguez will choose from Luna, Wes Helms and Donnie Murphy at third base.</p> <p>The Marlins got two minor league pitchers from Texas in the Cantu trade, both of whom are expected to go to major league camp...
Roy Oswalt granted his own wish: He's now part of a pennant race. Miguel Tejada, Jorge Cantu and Matt Capps joined the mix, too. The trade wheel of fortune kept spinning Thursday with veterans-for-prospects deals that typically dot the stretch run. More swaps were expected before Saturday's 4 p.m.
<p><a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/sports/rss/mlb/SIG=128o7rip3/*http%3A//sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=capress-bbo_trades_rdp-4073424"><img src="http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/capress/fb/thumbe.5845db4ac1057ceb41eb3f17745754a6/capress-bbo_trades_rdp-4073424.jpg" width="99" height="130" alt="FILE - In this July 18, 2010 file photo, Houston Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt(notes) throws in the first inning during a baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Jorge Cantu saw the light blinking on his cell phone when he got to his locker and knew it might finally be time. Then, he read the text message from his agent: He was headed for Texas. The AL West-leading Rangers added another bat for the playoff push, acquiring Cantu from the Florida Marlins on Thursday for two minor league pitchers.
Anibal Sanchez seems back to his old dominant form -- and it sure helps to have a healthy shoulder again. Sanchez pitched a one-hitter for his first shutout since a no-hitter as a rookie in September 2006, and Jorge Cantu played his final game for Florida in the Marlins' 5-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday.
SAN FRANCISCO - People familiar with the situation say the Florida Marlins are working to finalize a trade that would send third baseman Jorge Cantu to the Texas Rangers.
The San Francisco Giants are surging into playoff contention and Aubrey Huff says there's one reason why: leadoff hitter Andres Torres. "Since he's been at the top of our lineup, to me, he's been our MVP," said Huff after Torres' ground-rule single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning lifted the Giants to a 10-9 victory over the Florida Marlins on...
Florida Marlins minor league pitcher Daniel Jennings has been suspended 50 games for a positive drug test. Jennings plays for Double-A Jacksonville. He was penalized Wednesday under the minor league drug program. He tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Methylhexaneamine. There have been 61 suspensions this year under the minor league program.
Edgar Renteria believes San Francisco has a good shot to make the playoffs this season. The veteran shortstop is doing his part to get the Giants there. Renteria hit a two-run home run in the eighth inning, three batters after Juan Uribe's tie-breaking solo shot, helping San Francisco beat the Florida Marlins 6-4 on Tuesday night.
Matt Garza's cell phone rang so much that he finally turned it off. When he switched it on again Tuesday, it kept buzzing. "I'm a little tired," the hard-throwing Tampa Bay right-hander said a little more than 18 hours after pitching the first no-hitter in Rays history and fifth in the major leagues this year.
Chris Coghlan is the latest player to become seriously injured while celebrating. The Florida Marlins left fielder is headed for the disabled list with a torn meniscus in his left knee and could need surgery. The reigning NL Rookie of the Year's injury was revealed in an MRI Monday. He was hurt while delivering a pie in the face to teammate Wes Helms following the pinch-hitter's bases-loaded...
The Florida Marlins have gradually been working their way back above .500, back into playoff contention. Dan Uggla and Mike Stanton each hit solo homers and the Marlins moved above the .500 mark for the first time since early June with a 4-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. "Finally we're above .500.
A seven-game trip this week robs the Florida Marlins of their biggest weapon: the game-ending hit. Four walkoff wins during a wild homestand buoyed the Marlins' slim playoff hopes and made it less likely they'll unload starters before Saturday's trade deadline. The Marlins went 7-3 on the homestand, including six wins by one run.
