Posted May 8, 200618 yr Year Team Record Finish 1962 Mets 3-15 40-120 the 62 Mets only won 40 games. Do you think our Fish can make History and top this performance? personally, I don't think it'll happen. But it would surely be a nice slap in the face to Loria and co.
May 8, 200618 yr I am torn between yes and no. This team has too many talented players to lose that many games. This team might take longer to click then other teams. Hopefully we go on a win streak and all this talk will be history. What was the Mets record compared to the Fish at this point in the season? I found this... April- 3-13 May- 9-17 June- 8-23 July- 6-23 August- 8-26 Sept- 6-18 Longest losing streak- 17 games. I hope that doesn't happen to us. That would be terrible.
May 8, 200618 yr Author What was the Mets record compared to the Fish at this point in the season? I don't have a clue...probably about the same as ours at this point. Couldn't be much different. But I can tell you why I think they may not break this wonderful record; the fish have demonstrated that they can put up runs!!! Frankly I am pleasantly suprised at this. Of course our pitching will continue to take a pounding...so that will equall "L's". Not to mention the less than stella defense.
May 8, 200618 yr The Marlins aren't going to give up 900 runs and score only 617 runs. I guarantee it. We will go on a tear at some point and avoid this record.
May 8, 200618 yr I'll stick to what I projected before the start of the season: First 54 games of season: 30% - 16 wins Middle 54 games of season: 50% - 27 wins Last 54 games of season: 35% - 19 wins That's 62 wins.
May 8, 200618 yr Author They won't come anywhere close to that record. Oh they'll be close...maybe VERY close. I seriously doubt they will go on any tears lol. Unless you mean a tear of winning 3 games in a row.
May 8, 200618 yr The Marlins aren't going to give up 900 runs and score only 617 runs. I guarantee it. We will go on a tear at some point and avoid this record. What is a tear? Winning 5 of 10? I doubt they'll ever have a last 10 better than that.
May 8, 200618 yr It'll either be the Pirates or the Royals. I'm praying it's the Pirates so that it embarrasses this ownership so much that they'll be forced to sell to Cuban the day after the All-Star Game.
May 8, 200618 yr At some point, this team has to win the one run games they're losing now. Drama is overplayed because of an ugly weekend, but the Cards are a substantially better team than us. If we got blown out 3 straight by, say Washington or Pittsburgh, then there'd be cause for concern.
May 8, 200618 yr We (the Marlins) will easily win 50 games. Hopefully they can somehow win 60. If anyone seriously thinks we wont win 40 games.......take 3 long deep breaths...........everything will be alright.
May 8, 200618 yr Only 40 games? Anyone who believes that is crazy. If we're only gonna win 40... what does that put KC in line for? 31?
May 8, 200618 yr You're out of your mind if you think we'll have the worst record in major league history. We won't even have the worst record in baseball this season. If you take note of our run differential and all of our close losses, you'll notice that our W/L is deceptively bad. KC, on the other hand, is genuinely horrific.

If we got blown out 3 straight by, say Washington or Pittsburgh, then there'd be cause for concern. Yup, exactly. We can beat the bad teams, which is a good thing.
May 8, 200618 yr We have more rookies on our team than the 62 Mets, so it's certainly possible. rookies >>>> Marvelous Marv
May 8, 200618 yr Marlins are a very young team with little MLB expirience so that could be good news. This mean that the Marlins should be stronger in the second half of the season then the first once the all star break come that our player despretly need to regroup.
May 8, 200618 yr Year Team Record Finish 1962 Mets 3-15 40-120 the 62 Mets only won 40 games. Do you think our Fish can make History and top this performance? Marlins are currently 8-21; after 29 games the 1962 Mets were 10-19. 1962 Mets game results:(scroll down a little) http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYM/1962_sched.shtml
May 8, 200618 yr I would be surprised to see us lose 120 games or more, because we at least have some promising pitchers. However, the hitting side of the field is disgustingly bad. If the Royals keep this up (they have nothing in the pitching department) they will almost certainly surpass the 62 Mets.
May 8, 200618 yr They won't come anywhere close to that record. Oh they'll be close...maybe VERY close. I seriously doubt they will go on any tears lol. Unless you mean a tear of winning 3 games in a row. I would be willing to wager they'll be closer to 60 wins than 40 wins. I don't think you get how extremely bad 40 wins is. They'd actually have to play the rest of the season worse than they've started it...and that is highly, highly unlikely, considering all the one run games they've lost. This, by the way, may be the first optimistic stance I've taken on the Marlins since last summer. If you're more pessimistic than me, you're REALLY pessimisitc.
May 8, 200618 yr It'll either be the Pirates or the Royals. I'm praying it's the Pirates so that it embarrasses this ownership so much that they'll be forced to sell to Cuban the day after the All-Star Game. I would love to have Mark Cuban as the owner of my team. I mean, free American Airlines plane tickets to all fans in attendance? Now that's a giveaway!
May 8, 200618 yr Rather have Oprah, she gives away free houses and cars. And imagine how excited she'd be whenever they won a game...bouncing off the walls. Could have Tom Cruise come by and jump up and down on top of the dugout. She could sit down on a designer sofa and have a soothing heart to heart with Joe G when he's having a bad day. If your going to get a well known billionaire to buy the team, at least make it a genuinely likeable one. One you'd like as a person even if they werent rich. (this is not a smart ass post either, I really do think Oprah is awesome, and hope to meet her one day...but lets get one thing straight, I dont watch her show).
May 8, 200618 yr This team will win 55 games...its not even the worse team in the majors, that would be KC
