Ozzie must be the dumbest Manager in the major.  I hope that fat ass Bell run over by a truck

Can't wait for the Showtime Behind the Scenes show on the Marlins!  The Giants was great last season because they're my team (When Cody Ross pretended Huff's credit card had been used in Mexico was awesome) but to show the team coping with this continued self-destruction by Bell is going to be priceless.

I almost pull the trigger on the in game over in the bottom of the 9th, but I talked myself out it. I don't make bets like that and told myself stay disciplined and it could t happen again. Heath Bell is amazing.

It's utterly BAFFLING to me how this overweight rusty POS Heath Bell is still closing out games. Blown save after blown save. Ozzie Guillen has to be the worst manager in MLB.

It's just sad how you can start every batter at 0-2 and then load up the count or pitch a hanging slider/curve right down the middle for a huge hit. Is Heath Bell really this bad, or is he working for Vegas/mafia?!?!

I watched the game & at the end Guillen started to come out to argue the play at the plate but decided to go back to the dugout. Just before he went down the stairs to the clubhouse,  Ozzie ripped off his uniform top & threw it in the air. He was obviously pissed & I hope someone like MLB or ESPN caught that on camera.

I may be wrong but I don't think even Billy Martin or Earl Weaver ever did that...

Ozzie should be worried about his job, not pissed over his incompetence ... who in their right mind as an MLB manager puts in a pitcher with a 6+ ERA to close out games?!?!

Nah...Ozzie is gold down here. The Castro comments didn't sink him & he's been given a pretty long leash.

When you have Reyes bunting a ball with a starting pitcher on 1st base in 107 degree temp & nobody out & you have Hanley Ramirez acting like a punk trying to punch out a fan in the dugout, cutting his hand & coming out of the game & ownership signing bums like Austin Kearns & trading 2 prospects for a washed up Carlos Lee as well as ruining the confidence of players like Sanchez & Coghlan, you have the recipe for a long season.

I still have no idea how Bell became an elite closer, though Petco no doubt helped him. He showed no signs of ever being a 9th inning guy with the Mets. Combination of age, repeating that delivery and maybe a bit of 'market correction' on batted balls has caught up to him now ... regardless, he blows, and at $9 million per season that's a huge albatross for Miami. What a dysfunctional bunch they be down on South Beach

any bets I make on Miami will be for the first 5 ONLY... until I have 100% confirmation that Bell isn't gonna be the closer anymore... no reason to make it harder then it needs to be

He seems to give the win away about half of the games he plays. Considering how often they are in that situation, full game on Miami can be more stressful when they are ahead or tied going into the 9th. Lol.

That means he's pretty consistent, as that's the same ratio essentially.
