For those who have been following the latest development in MLB games, I can't really get by without expressing my frustration here. A team that was leading the Wild Card in the American League a week ago with 2 games ahead of NY Yankees, and only 1 game behind the lead in the AL West division, is now facing a fatal collapse after 8 games losing steak since then; 2 losses against Texas Ranges followed by 3 against LA Angles, 1 against Cleveland Indians, and now 2 against Toronto Blue Jays including today's game. It is team's season high losing streak, and if my gut feeling is right they will lose 4 more in the next 4 days; 1 more in Toronto tomorrow and then, yes, 3 in New York! And who knows, they may lose another 3 against Detroit right after that. I've been following their games rather closely and what I've observed so far is akin to a miracle. It looks like either they've totally lost their confidence all of sudden, or they're looking for every possible way to lose for some reason. The biggest problem is the pitching. All of their ace pitchers have lost last week; even the most reliable Miguel Batista lost today, 1-2. They have been allowing quite many runs every game and one pitcher's problem seems to have infected another like a disease. The best was Batista who pitched well today, but Seattle's offense simply went flat.
Mariners had 11 losing game streak last year or two years ago, but what's ahead of them in this year is even more damaging.
They are indeed playing like a bunch of high school boys.
My blood pressure has been skyrocketing...and finally decided to root for another team from now on. Perhaps Angeles will triumph all the way.
Question:
What is the longest losing streak in the history of MLB game?
Oh, my, my,....
