The Padres are closing in on the worst July record in franchise history

PrintWith four games left in July, the Padres need to win all of them to avoid getting the worst July record since the 1969 inaugural season. By the way, I also ran a few calculations and there is zero chance that the Padres are going to win 4 straight games. (Apparently there is a 4.35% chance of the Padres winning the remaining 4 games)
The one good thing you can take away from this suckfest is that now when crusty old fans from '69 tell you about all the bad Padres baseball they sat through you can tell them to suck it, because you sat through July in '09.

Apparently the UT has figured out that they are also approaching the record for the Worst Month in Padres history. The 1969 record is 5-22.
Do me a favor and view the full stats after the jump, because it took a long time to compile and I spilled a full bottle of water all over my computer and mouse in the process.
Stats after the jump!

Is this a freefall in a vaccuum
or will they reach some kind of terminal velocity?
Stay tuned!

Brutal month
Also, there are a lot more Julys with losing records in the history, than winning ones.
I believe the jump he is referring to
is that if we all jump right before we hit the bottom, we won’t be crushed by the impact. But I believe the Mythbusters busted that one.

It's a good thing
Let the Bryce Harper watch begin! Only 6 1/2 back/ahead of the Nats. We might be thankful for that sweep last weekend for the next 10 years if it’s means the difference.
I know it seems like it
but we weren’t swept by the Nationals. We actually won the first game, and Latos got his first MLB win.

Funny
I don’t remember seeing that game on the TV. Must not have happened.

I just wish they didn't sweep the Nationals last year.
Cost us Strasburg. Maybe this year will be different.

depressing
I paid for mlb.tv so i have to keep watching this attempt at major league baseball.
When you eat a candy bar or have a wonderful dessert, have a diet drink. The calories are cancelled out by the diet drink.
Looking at those
make me realize how consistently terrible our organization has been. Also, having a good July equals World Series appearance.
I did a little math using the Log5 win probability formula
The Padres (using an adjusted winning percentage of 38.2%, and adjusted winning percentages for the Reds ad Brewers of 41.3% and 45.2% respectively) have a 46.8% chance of beating the Reds once and thus a 10.2 % chance of beating them in 3 straight and a 42.8% chance of beating the Brewers once, so that makes a 4.38% chance that they will win 4 straight to end July.
Sorry to disagree with you calculations jbox ;)

10.65% that we lose all 4

I did some math, too
At least I started to, but then I was all “Screw this. Math is stupid. Wonko will do it for me.”
Drama is an a-hole.

Happy 40th!

you know what we should do now ..
give everybody in the front office promotions, and re up the manager ..

Are any GLB'ers going to be on hand to witness this historic series?
I’m thinking about going to either the Wednesday or Thursday game. I once had all of the air sucked out of me, and I kind of liked the feeling.
"And now for something completely different"
not a bad idea ..
and we can boo every time they get a hit .. all three times.
then again, you just know this team will ruin it, and rattle off four wins.

We ruin everything.

I had a ticket to Friday's game
But I sacrificed it to the season ticket exchange program gods and got one for this Saturday instead. But, I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about since I know you live closer to Cincy than San Diego.

The padres are so bad
its left Paul DePodesta speechless.
I wonder what ever happened to his blog. What could he possibly be doing that’s more important than taking shit from the loyal fans of the FRIAR!

To be fair
with only 40 seasons, the top 10 makes for a strange sample selection.

The UT is apparently trying to 1 up you jbox
They are claiming that without winning two of the next 4 games in July they would tie or finish 1 win less the 1969 Padres for worst month in their history.

That article was published to the web at 2:07 PM
They may have just stolen your idea and gussied it up with some intern research.

Now that the comic convention is over,
they don’t know what else to write about.
I left out any accusations
Since the article may have been put in one of the tangible versions of the paper this morning and not updated to website until this afternoon. I’ll have to find one of those old-timey newspapery things before pointing fingers.

Found one in the break room
Bill Center’s article was in there complete with mention of the losingest month.
