A mathematical oddity.

The baseball season is nearly 3 months old. And my Chicago Cubs have yet to win three straight games. Which is a difficult feat. Every team in major league baseball has won at least three straight. Except the Cubs. That’s one thing about the Cubs. They are consistent. Consistent losers. I can depend on the Cubs. To lose lots and lots of games. The 1962 New York Mets have long been considered the worst team ever to play major league baseball. They finished the season at 40-120. But still, they managed to win three straight games twice. However, I have no reason to complain. The Cubs have a decent chance of winning 40 games by the end of July. They might even win 60 games by the end of the season. Without ever winning three straight. I think that would put the Cubs into the record book of mathematical oddities. –Jim Broede
