Marlins Chatter! | Who will have the better record this year, the Marlins or the Twins? you decide

Whats the deal?

Well here is what is going on: I made a bet with a guy at my work, well what is the bet? Here it is I said the Florida Marlins will have a better record then the Minnesota Twins in 2006. Sounds a little crazy right, yeah, but me being a die hard Marlins fan had to do the bet.

Thats not it, I also made a bet with the same guy. I say that Jeremy Hermida will win the 2006 NL Rookie of the Year. Sounds like good odds there, right? Well this site is dedicated to tracking the results of my two bets, let the fun begin!
