Marlins starter Scott Olsen knows he has one job to do -- and that job does not involve trying to bring fans to Dolphin Stadium.
But one thing that might help that cause is the reported signing of 24-year-old shortstop

This act might be dramatic, but it just doesn't work.
This latest Marlins trend is exciting but fruitless. If you haven't been paying attention to the first-place Marlins, they not only have been losing lately, but doing it in their own style.
Here is how it works:

All year long, after committing a Major League-leading 137 errors in 2007, Marlins players have sported gray T-shirts that read: "Marlins Defense: It's a Commitment."

The Marlins can create buzz. They showed that this week while briefly achieving baseball's best mark.
But turning buzz into butts in seats is going to be a whole other story for the club that reached first place with the sport's lowest payroll.

A three-game slide hasn't knocked the Marlins out of first place in the National League East. It also hasn't diminished the fact they've won seven of their last 10, and finished up a road trip at 3-3.
The team hopes the enthusiasm that has built around the club will spread to South Florida when the Marlins open their Interl

On one hand, Thursday's rainout gave the Marlins a much-needed day off after playing nine straight games. On the other, it made sure they left Great American Ball Park with a bitter taste in their mouth.
Thursday's four-game-series finale with the Reds was called by the

You want to point a finger at someone for the recent struggles of the Marlins-- Blame Fredi Gonzalez, as usual, evertime this team tries to get on a roll or actuall is in one, he for some reason fails to do the necessary things to continue the streak.
