And stupid point number 2. That's just dumb fandom right there. You'd gladly sit through 3 more years of sucking? That's absurd. Show me a team in the playoffs who didn't have to suffer through 4 100 loss seasons before becoming good. Not sure what you're going for here...... Three of the playoff teams (NY Yankees, San Francisco, & Cincinnati) have never had 4 100 Loss seasons. Of the remaining 7 teams, only Washington & Detroit have had a 100 loss season within the last decade. Hell, the Cardinals haven't lost 100 games since 1908 !!! So that's the secret... Also, the answer to SSR's facetious post is the Atlanta Braves.
