I am at fault. Blame me.

Not sure, but both the Sox and Cards had atrocious losing streaks in 2005 and 2006 and we all know what followed. I'm not saying history will repeat itself, but it isn't out of the question.

The '06 Cards only won 83 games, so I'm sure they had several lengthy losing streaks peppered throughout that season. 83 wins isn't going to get us into the playoffs this year, I'm afraid.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
They had two different 8-gamers, and a 7-gamer in late September.

We really picked the wrong year to suck so badly. 84 games would've won the Central and we couldn't even manage 70 wins.

*sigh*
