Does that record still stand?
Think so.

In the National League.

Guess the all time losing streak to open a season winners?

OK, I won't tell you: :violin: , but your record is barely worse than the White Sox.

Were you one of those shirtless boys in the stands? The Cubs, who "overcame deficits of 7–1, 9–3" won 12-11 in the 11th.

That was a couple of games ago, they've managed to lose more without Manny's help.

No worries though, they're flying west to play the Dodgers.

Worst loss in history of the franchise. They coulda used a Little League style "mercy rule." But the good thing about baseball is that a 23-3 pounding counts the same as a 1-0 and constitutes about .0061 of the season. Add up enough of those, though, and you've got yourself one game above .500 and having to play the Dodgers again.

Playoffs may be out of reach already.

In my playing days I have been on both sides of those games. There is something about baseball that when a team gets hot it transfers to all players.

Your favorite team:


Jacob Misiorowski Just Threw a Fastball at 106 MPH...That Looked Like It Was 108 MPH

:shock: :-|| , but what is this with "Looked Like" and "perceived velocity"?
