The Marlins Are Streaky

Ozzie Guillen. Carlos Zambrano. Giancarlo Stanton. Emilio Bonifacio. The Miami Marlins have some interesting characters (all with great names), but that doesn't make them any less streaky:

Marlins in May: .724 winning % (21-8)
Marlins in June: .200 winning % (4-16)

In May, the Marlins won more often than the 1927 Yankees (who had a .714 winning percentage). And now, just one month later, they are losing at a rate not seen since the 1890 Pittsburgh Pirates, then known as the Alleghenys (who finished 23-113, 66 1/2 games out of first place, and featured baseball luminaries such as Doggie Miller, Crazy Schmit, and Peek-A-Boo Veach).

So, it's safe to say that: the Marlins are quite streaky.
