consecutive Cy Young winners who followed up their banner season with a losing season the next year. It's too easy if you look it up... Try to name as many without looking..If you counted both leagues, there would actually be 7 straight years that a Cy winner followed with a losing season..

Saberhagen was on the good year/bad year cycle for a while, so I'll guess him

Steve Stone. Which means Pete Vuckovich and LaMarr Hoyt are probably in there as well. Willie Hernandez would also be in that time frame.

I honestly didn't look them up. How about John Denny?

Stone
Fingers
Vuke
Hoyt
Hernandez
Saberhagen
are the six and if you started off the list with Sutter from the NL in 79, you'd have 7 straight years of Cy Young winners following up their season with a losing record in the next. (Sutter though had a pretty good campaign despite a losing mark in 80) Scott didn't tail off till a couple years after his CY.
Quite a list
A one year wonder(I think Stone got hurt though) and then an old timer nearing the end followed by a guy with a blown out arm and rectal cyst and then a drug dealer and I guess there isn't much you can say about Hernandez and Saberhagen.
