Clint Barmes and Brad Hawpe each hit two-run homers and the Colorado Rockies beat the Florida Marlins 7-3 Sunday night for a split of a doubleheader.

Marlins rock Rockies in first game to move within one game of NL wild-card lead

The only thing hotter than August in South Florida has been the Marlins’ hitters as they pounded out 17 hits while pounding the Colorado Rockies 10-3 in the first game of a rare Sunday doubleheader.

With Dolphins coach Tony Sparano, every minute counts. And every snap, too.

Tim Hardaway has gone from being a too-critical and overebearing dad toward his basketball-talented son, Tim Jr., to forging a father-son relationship that couldn’t be better.

Sunken into one corner of a beige sectional couch in his family’s living room, Tim Hardaway Jr. is watching a classic NBA Finals contest from 1985, part marveling at the abilities of greats like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, part mocking the pace of a game that seems so much slower than the one he is used to watching now.
The game on the screen, the championship-clinching Game 6 between the Lakers and Celtics, actually happened seven years before the 6-5 budding basketball star was born, so it seems especially ancient to him. There is actually a stack of VHS tapes to the left of the television that are older than him.

Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline graduated from Ohio State, got married and moved to South Florida in the past four months. And he has football goals remaining.

Dolphins rookie wide receiver Brian Hartline has crammed enough life events into four months to make the heads of most 20-something bachelors spin with a combination of fear and envy.

No agents. No TV cameras. No marketing teams. Just a kid no one knew, getting in a play no one noticed, screaming atop teammates’ shoulders in a moment no one else cherished, “I’m so happy!”
