MIAMI -- So many memorable moments punctuated the 2008 season for the Marlins. The campaign featured dramatic walk-off wins, uplifting home runs and stellar pitching from starters like Ricky Nolasco.

Even though Spring Training is three months away, Marlins fans can get their baseball fill on Fox Sports Florida. This offseason, Fox Sports Florida is televising eight encore games, beginning on Nov. 26.

Fox Sports Florida will air each game at noon ET on Wednesdays, although viewers should note, programming could be subject to change.

The first replay performance will be on Nov. 26, the showing of the May 2 contest between the Marlins and Padres.

Mark Hendrickson turned in an impressive start, and Dan Uggla belted two home runs in a 6-4 Florida win. It was Hendrickson's fifth win of the season and Uggla's fifth and sixth home runs of the season.

The rest of the schedule includes:

Dec. 10: Diamondbacks at Marlins, May 21. Florida snapped Brandon Webb's nine-game win streak. Webb carried a 9-0 record into the contest, and the right-hander was striving to become the first pitcher since 1919 to open a season winning his first 10 starts. Nolasco was the winning pitcher. Cody Ross homered, and Matt Treanor dropped a safety squeeze.

Dec. 24: Reds at Marlins on June 7. In one of the most thrilling comebacks of the season, the Marlins pulled it out in the ninth inning on Ross' two-run homer off Francisco Cordero.

Jan. 7, 2009: Phillies at Marlins on June 11. What was shaping up as a tough loss, Uggla deposited a walk-off grand slam. Jorge Cantu went deep twice, and lefty Andrew Miller turned in a solid start.

Jan. 21, 2009: Cubs at Marlins on Aug. 16. Kevin Gregg closed things out, capping off 3 2/3 innings of scoreless relief by the Florida bullpen. A crowd of 39,124 gathered at Dolphin Stadium to witness the one-run win.

Feb. 4, 2009: Marlins at Giants on Aug. 19. The Marlins had a string of 301 straight games without a complete game -- a Major League Baseball record -- snapped when Nolasco went the distance in San Francisco. Brilliant throughout, the right-hander scattered just two hits, and he posted his first career shutout. The pitcher helped his cause with a two-run double. It was Florida's first complete game since Sept. 16, 2006.

Feb. 18, 2009: Phillies at Marlins on Sept. 19. The Marlins ran their winning streak to nine straight games -- matching a franchise record -- by beating the Phillies. Uggla had a two-run homer, while Alfredo Amezaga belted a three-run shout.

March 4, 2009: Marlins at Mets on Sept. 28. In the final game at Shea Stadium, Wes Helms' pinch-hit solo shot in the eighth inning would put Florida ahead for good after the contest was tied, and Uggla followed that with an insurance homer, as the Marlins ended the Mets' playoff hopes.
