Insane Random Ramblings

Yep, the Phillies lost 10-2. They earn the dubious honor of being the first major league baseball team to lose 10,000 games. The Braves and Cubs are next in line to reach the milestone with 9,681 losses and 9425 losses respectively.

At least we don’t have to hear about it anymore. The best part about it though. The Philly fans. They’re crazy. They had signs and started cheering when there were two outs. How many other teams fans do you think would have held up signs proclaiming “1st to 10,000″, and “I was there”? Gotta love those Philly fans.

Ok, I’ll admit it - I’m biased. I’m originally from Philly and I still root for the Phillies. I also love watching Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Aaron Rowand. Heck I like the whole team. So I’m really tired about hearing about their dubious distinction of being the first baseball club to lose 10,000 games. They’re at 9,999 right now. I hope the lose 1 of their games on their upcoming road trip so we can stop hearing about it.

I mean think about it, any team that plays long enough will eventually get to this point. You have a lot of teams that aren’t even 50 years old yet. Of course they’re nowhere near the milestone. Then you have other teams that are over 100 years old like the Yankees or Pirates, but their all-time loss record isn’t nearly as bad. The Phillies have had some horrible years to be sure.

I just hope they don’t lose tonight.
