XPress stays along in the cellar
Year: 2004 Games: 91-100
The Syracuse Xpress has accumulated a 36-64 record through 100 games this season and is the unprecedented cellar dwellar, holding the worst record in baseball. Nothing to be proud of that's for sure. Rightfielder Oscar Hernandez continues to play solid baseball despite the XPress' record. Hitting .332 with 16 homers, 48 runs batted in and 22 stolen bases. Samuel Villianueva has 15 round trippers and a team high 50 ribbies. Ace starter Larry Garr is 9-10 with a 2.77 ERA with 151 strikeouts as the only legimate ace on the XPress staff. Reliever and setup man Carlos Fonseca has a 2.64 ERA in 61.1 innings of work and is a big reason why Closer Randall Cavallo has 20 saves despite a high 4.84 ERA. Minor league Closer Joshua Ware was recently promoted from AAA to replace the struggling Vincent Alberto. Alberto was demoted to AAA. "You know the old say - you can't win 'em all. Well, we changed that to you can't win anywhere close to 'em all." stated Manager Chris Jones.
