I hate to see the Red Sox with the ‘0’s. But man they are a well managed team.

How about a list of teams who have lost 100+ games and spent 100+ million to do it???

Compare the Mets to the Tigers, who dropped to 100+ losses almost half of the time they hit even 90+ losses.

If they’re going to suck, they’re going to SUCK.

Wow, you’ve got to admire those Mets. 11 seasons with 90 or more losses, but they only allowed the needed to dip below 100 once. They know how to Buckle It Up And Get After It when facing true disaster.

Hey, the Mariners have more big numbers beside their name than other teams!

That’s good right?

Well at least I got a taste of good baseball memories today as I see Lou’s Cubs down 0-2 …

clearly shot me back to 95.

if you want to smile in good times, check out this great website I found (most of you might have already uncovered this gem).

Gotta cheer for Lou in a season where I’ve had very little to cheer for all year.

Ouch. That is all this little list does to me. Ouch.

Should this raise our estimation of signing a GM with ties to those “2″ and “0″ season teams like Hoyer, Woodfork, NG, etc.? Would that also lower the estimation of Avila. I guess that’s going too far.

Wishhiker – Yeah, I think that’s going a little far because, since the lists go back to ‘77, there are teams that are currently very well-run near the top (Rays, Indians, Braves, etc.) and teams that you wouldn’t want to copy, like the Astros, near the bottom.
