Awesome article about Nachalo. I'm actually using that book right now lol. Nateoxford 19:57, 27 April 2009 (EDT)

From 1883 to 2009, the Phillies have a win-loss record of 8955-10106, a .470 average. The only teams with worse lifetime averages are expansion teams: the Colorado Rockies (.469), the Texas Rangers (.468), the San Diego Padres (.462), and the Tampa Bay Rays (.417). On the other hand, franchises older than the Phillies have done better and lost fewer games. The Braves, founded in 1876, are 9777-9817, good for a .499 average. The Cubs (yes, the Cubs), also starting from 1876, are 10091-9632 (.514). The other NL team founded in 1883 far outstrips the Phillies: the Giants are 10265-8823 - that's a .538 average. I'm not suggesting anything; these are just the facts. Btw, I hate the New York and Boston teams just as much as you do. If I am detracting in the Phillies article, it's because I am only being fair.
