The Inevitable Has Happened
This is, after many, many years a "dog bites man" story; i.e. nothing new.

Yesterday the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Philadelphia Phillies to drop their lifetime record to 8,810 wins and 10,000 losses. The losingest professional sports team in history.

From Connie Mack Stadium to the Vet and Citizens Bank Park, and at ballparks all over, the Phillies have cemented their place as the losingest team in professional sports. The franchise was born in 1883 as the Philadelphia Quakers and later called the Blue Jays in the mid-1940s.

Not even those lovable losers, the Chicago Cubs, come close to that sort of futility. Next on the losing list: the Braves, with 9,681 defeats. And it took them stints in three cities (Boston, Milwaukee, Atlanta) to reach that total.

As an old Phillie Phan who was there for Game One of the 1980 World Series (the last- and only time they have won a Series), this comes as no surprise. Such is life.
