Blogging the Bases: Phillies Reach 10,000 Losses
READ MORE:
MLB


Good morning, couldn't be happier I'm not in Vegas. Fun and filled with futility at the tables. Felt like I must have endured 125 years of losing in just 24 hours. Perhaps I can now relate to Philly fans who witnessed the franchises 10,000 loss Sunday, most the most of any other.
For one night, at least, the 2007 Phillies became linked to the stumbling clubs of the 1920s, '30s and '40s, along with the '61 team that lost 23 straight, and the '64 Fizz Kids.

In fact, they became linked to all of the Phillies teams in the franchise's 125-year history. The Phils last night reached a dubious distinction as they became the first team in any sport to lose 10,000 games, dropping a 10-2 decision to the St. Louis Cardinals before a sellout crowd of 44,872 at steamy Citizens Bank Park.

At least Philly fans are taking it stride. The best response I've seen to this quasi-non story is The700Level.com. Truthfully, it's more of a statement of the franchise extensive history than it's losing ways. Now time for the marketers to embrace 10,000 ... I know they will.
