Meanwhile, the victory has propelled the Rock Pile to the lofty heights of 8-37, a .178 winning percentage that projects to 29-133 over a full season. So the Pile has hope now of staying below the 1899 Cleveland Spiders' record for total losses, if not as yet in range of the 1916 Philadelphia Athletics (36-116) tally of fewest wins in full season, post-1900.
Keep fighting, Pile! With luck, "merely god-awful" status may be yours!
(I know that Choo-Choo Coleman went from 1961 Phillies [all-time record 23-game losing streak] to the 1962 Mets [40-120]. Are there any refugees from last season's White Sux cast adrift these Rox?)
