Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
Why did we ever let the Marlins win the World Series not just once, but twice? The Marlins are now under .500 for the first time this year after being swept by the dynastic Pirates. Florida also fell to fourth in NL East, baseball's version of Surviver—not the "Eye of the Tiger" band. They could become the 14th World Series champs to finish the next year under .500 (there are also two Temple Cup champs who did so). Here they are:
