And where did the Marlins come from? Only 2 back, are you kidding me? I had a fork in them 2 months ago.

Marlins started 11-31.

The owner, Jeffrey Loria, almost fired Girardi a couple weeks ago. They went as far as setting up a room for the press conference. Eventually, he backed down.

Earlier this week, Loria did NOT give any credit to Girardi for the teams good play when interviewed in the paper.

Now the talk is Loria has to decide whether to fire Girardi before or after he most likely wins NL Manager of the Year.

Go figure.
