Karma's a bitch..
Believe me, it hasn’t gone unnoticed around Giantsland that the Florida Marlins are free-falling right now. After coughing up a lead in Game 2 and getting swept by Philly in a doubleheader Wednesday night, the stinking Fish have lost 14 of 15 to plummet from contention. Suddenly, one of the league’s more intriguing teams has fallen 10.5 games out of first place in the NL East. And Manager Edwin Rodriguez is on the hot seat.

Back on May 26, the Marlins were flying high. They departed San Francisco after claiming a three-game sweep and a piece of the Giants’ soul. You’ll need no reminder that one of Florida’s victories came on Scott Cousins’ takeout slide that ripped apart Buster Posey’s ankle and ended his season.

Since that series, the Marlins are 3-17. Cousins is on the disabled list with a back injury. And the unofficial, off-the-record sentiment in Giants land?

Hey, karma’s a bitch.

I don't wish to start up the Posey argument again, but I saw this on one of my favorite Giants blogs. I didn't realize the Marlins had fallen on such hard times since the incident..
