We turn the page on the calendar today with a look at - what else? - the awful state of the Pirates.
They now sit at 44-88 (.333), far and away the worst record in baseball. They are five games "ahead" of the Orioles for the #1 draft choice next June, and despite scoring 14 runs in a win last night, they are terrible, awful, and unwatchable (and I still have tickets for three more games this season!!).
Here is what needs to be done over the last 30 games to make this a truly historic season:
If they go 6-24, they will lose 112 games, matching the low water mark of the 1952 Pirates.
If they go 5-25, they will lose 113 games, matching the franchise low water mark of the 1890 Pittsburg Alleghenies.
For a team that has put up records of 6-20, 8-17, and 8-20 over the last three months, do you doubt that they are capable of such an atrocity?
For the second day in a row, I refer you to Bob Smizik's blog today that asks what the lowest of low points have been in this historically terrible season:
