On a side note, I continue to be baffled by the Florida Marlins and their accumulation of amazing stats in such a short amount of time. In their 15 years of existance in the league they have had a winning record only 4 years. Yet, they have won the World Series twice. That's more than 12 other current teams. They also have thrown 4 no-hitters. That's more than 9 other teams. It just blows my mind how they can be so bad and then every so often put together a decent team and do something.
