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.
