And this team is going to add Manny?

The Marlins are one of the fundamentally worst teams in baseball, and yet they are winners because they hit home runs and can score runs late. And now they may end up dealing Jeremy Hermida for Manny Ramirez. Yeesh. This team isn't going away anytime soon.

Mike Pelfrey was off his game and gave the Marlins a 5-1 lead, but what can you say about Gary Cohen? The guy predicted Damon Easley's three-run homer, noting moments before that Easley knew to hit it down the left field line, which he did, cutting the gap to 5-4.

Of course, there was a late Florida homer, a two-run shot by Dan Uggla off Joe Smith, that upped the lead to three, made more maddening by the Mets' rallying in the ninth and scoring a run that would have tied the score had it not been for that last blast.

It's trade deadline day and while the Mets wait on Ryan Church with folded hands and crossed fingers, and ponder whether to acquire another reliever, the Marlins may be adding the most dangerous hitter in baseball. The Yankees have certainly been active. Maybe Luis Castillo and El Duque will finally make it back. There's the spark we're looking for!
