You Can't Make Up the Losses
Art Kyriazis writes about the Phillies approach to a dubious record:
Also, the Phillies are approaching a milestone this summer that no team in any sport has ever achieved.
Yes, I am speaking of the 10,000 loss milestone. The phils are a mere 43 losses away from 10,000 losses as a franchise (1883-present). No franchise or team in any sport has ever achieved this dubious milestone, which is both historic and fully deserved Commissioner Bud Selig's attention, especially if he won't go to Bonds Home Run Record achievement. At least he should attend the 10,000th loss of the Phils!!!
Needless to say, there is a website devoted to this--celebrate10000.com
According to the website, they're closer than that, just 21 more losses to the magic 10,000! I suppose trying to avoid that loss could be a catalyst to send them on a winning streak!
