10,000 strong

The Philadelphia Phillies not very long ago made baseball history & set a record of immense proportions. But of course, both were for the wrong reasons: they're the losingest ballclub (if you can actually call them that) with 10,000 losses, the most in their existence @ Philly.

The nearest competitors with a lot of work cut out for them in even trying to chase Philly in this feat are the Braves & who can forget them lovable losers, the Cubs?

Oh well, this isn't to say life in Philly is all that awful. But when it comes to supporting a franchise with 10,000 losses under its belt & still showing your ballclub lots of love, that takes plenty of faith - not like rooting for the Cubs, but pretty close to it anyways. The Phillies may have broke the 10,000 losses mark already yet you can't count them down & out. They're still alive & kicking; only trouble is, their good name is bad news to all those loyal baseball fans who can't believe what has just been accomplished:

10,000 what?
