but they're not even the worst baseball franchise in the state. The Pirates have a long century ahead.

The only thing I disagree that the Phillies are the worst franchise in sports. That goes to the New York Knicks. Phillies are just mismanged. Their pitching has been brutal. Manuel is an okay manager, but it's hard for anyone to win with the pitching he has. Twins rotation is the standard to great pitching. Phillies don't even have a great pitcher. Maybe Cole Hamels and Gavin Floyd will be it one day.

After last night's draft, the Knicks have clinched worst franchise in sports.  The Royals are also pretty bad.  They don't have any fans at all anymore.  So are the Bruins and Blackhawks.  My top five worst are Knicks, Royals, Bruins, BLackhawks and Phillies in that order.

...trust me...if I were a New York fan - I'd say the KNICKS!!

Nicely written (#7)

...and very painful to read. The really sad part is that you could write a very long book about the pathetic history of Phillies baseball. Curses on them for being in my blood!

Some other bad franchises:

  1. Chicago/St. Louis/Arizona Cardinals. Bright future, but they sucked me in last year so I'll believe it when I see it.

  2. Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Vinny Castilla, Jose Canseco, and Tanyon Sturtze as your ace... it's called turn-of-the-century Rays, while the D-Backs were stockpiling arms and winning the WS.

  3. New England Patriots, 1970-1993.  Just a joke. I should have gotten season tickets back then.

  4. Washington Wizards.  Having "ROUND TWO" t-shirts made up just says it all.
