The Marlins are now 7-30 over the past 37 June games in the past two seasons. While the Marlins have struggled, the team still is positioned five games behind the division leading Washington Nationals. Now is not the time to panic if you are a Miami Marlins fans.

The first game of the Marlins-Red Sox series will be broadcasted on ESPN on Monday night. Yes, it seemed like a mistake to me as well and I still believe it might be one, but just do not say anything and we may actually get away with it!

As usual, to preview the series, I had a quick chat with a Fansided writer of the opposing teams site. Over the past few days, I had an opportunitiy to chat it up with Derek Stykalo, the editor of BoSox Injection. Derek and his staff do an excellent job on their site, if you ever get a chance, please do check them out.

Here is a look at our chat:

I don’t find it that exciting either, but I will admit that I do not recall the team every playing the Chicago White Sox during interleague play, though I am certain that my brain has just glossed over that detail. Nevertheless, the Marlins will make a visit to U.S. Cellular Field for a three-game set this weekend, with the two weekend games starting at 2:05 pm EST.
