If you couldn't tell, I get very excited about doubleheaders. Sure, 6 hours of baseball isn't going to make those in your social life all too happy, but they put up with football Sundays in the fall!
Doubleheaders give each team a chance to - as they like to say in little league - both be winners! It's not about winning but having fun, right? Everyone can have it all.
Of course, not every doubleheader is split. Here's my guide to appraching today's game:
1. Marlins lose both games - SUCKS! Let's not even entertain the idea.
2. Marlins split the two games - Well, you came away with something. It's much more enjoyable if your team won the second game. In that case, you already accepted a loss and can spend an evening savoring the win.
3. Marlins win both games - So exciting...you watch your team gain huge strides in the standings while salivating teal spitballs. The stuff of legends.
Either way, the doubleheader is one of the most exciting baseball attributes, and I wish we'd see more of them.

Honestly, I can't think of anything I'd rather do less than watch 6-7 hours of baseball. :P
I can see why major baseball fans would get excited about this though. I'd love to see two hockey games in a day.
