1. The Rockies, Devil Rays, Padres, and Rangers all have lower winning %, but small sample sizes. Rays(10), and Rockies(15), get tossed. Padres (39), and Rangers(47) have been around longer but the Phillies at 147 are more than twice either of them. Still their winning % isn't too far at .463 and .467, to the Phils .468.
2. They are the lowest of the low. In seasons where at least 140 games were played 22 times a team has had a 100 loss season, 9 of those times it was Philly. They also have 5 100 loss seasons for a grand total of 14. The Cubs have only had 2.
3. 83-75 two playoff appearances, 92 opportunities, two partial successes. 2 championships 80, took em 97 years, and most recently which took them well over a quarter of a century. They had a good stretch from 76-83 where they went to the playoffs 5 times and lost 3 straight NLCS from 76-78, choked 3 years in a row. They had an 8 year stretch with Mike Schmitty where they made five post season appearances. The other 116...They made 3.
4. The overall record is the killer. Phillies is lowest % of all original teams(.468). Cubs(.536) just sit back and laugh. Phillies have over 10,000 losses, Braves 9,681 and the Cubs 9,425. It's gonna take the Braves over 20 years to catch them.
You guys are like that fuckin guy who always screws everything up, no mater how simple the task. The kind of guy you never really want to hang around, but for some reason he always seems to know where everyone is going to be later in the evening. The Kind of guy who doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, and has never been right about anything in his entire life, until one day, like a miracle from jebus the hand of god comes down and gives a gift to you, and you get something right. And then you can't let it go. Screaming at the top of your lungs until blood trickles out of your ears and down the side of you neck. Eat it. I lived with the fact that you guys won the world series. But now....Fuck you. You are a classless motherfucker. Jesus who dresses Tim Tebow.... Anyway, I hope you catch a fuckin liner to the cunt you nutless wonder. Get in the fuckin octagon with Carlos (either one) and talk that shit you douche.
I'd be bitter too if my family and I had to watch this team for the last 100 years. It's like watching a TV showing a live feed of your balls being cut with a straight razor.
