It's like 30% worse than the Cleveland Spiders (just guessing here as I don't have the info in front of me), and nobody has even come close to being that bad in almost 120 years.


Plus, would you feel satisfied with a .058 winning percentage when they play .700 ball when you're not playing? I'm not as angry because I'm used to it now, but I still want to give up on the game because as I've said, in 10+years of playing this I've never even come close something like this before. And from the look of this thread, NOBODY has.
I looked back at my 44 win streak season in v18 and at one point I was 49-2, 49-3 when the streak ended. Couldn't I say the same as you in the bold part other than records being reversed?

A link the thread I posted at the time.. http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...d.php?t=282806
I was +10 PYT for the year that ended with a MLB record 118 wins. Which has me wondering what is your PYT?

I can't rid myself of the idea that my season is as unlikely as yours and counters everything that happened in your season. You want to see ridiculous? How about a .961 win pct that fell off to .942 with a loss

A google search tells me the longest win streak in MLB history belongs to the Giants at 26 and I had 44! Is that statistically impossible? I don't know. I do know my streak is a one time thing, at least up to this point.

In real life the 1961 Phillies lost 23 in a row and at one stretch went 1-28, .035 pct.
Sounds impossible but there it is in real life.
