They're 585-647 for the decade after never being under .500 in any prior decade (though the 20s were a tight 777-763). The one pennant is the worst (2 in the 20s), and their one WS tops only the hapless 0 won on the 20s.

At 62 games under .500 with two seasons left, it would take a miracle for the proud franchise to get their head above water. A second straight 90 loss season, the third in four years, doesn't give much hope.

Ouch.
