Tragedy averted
No team in Major League Baseball history has gone an entire season without a complete game.
After games on September 15, the number of complete games by Chicago Cubs pitchers was zero.
The Cubs were effectively starting 5 rookies in the rotation, as our ace has missed the past two weeks with a back injury.

The Cubs are still horrible, but at least we're not record-setting horrible.

congrats, bum. the Indians are trying hard to become the first team in MLB history to have a +50 or better run differential (they're at +70 or so now) and finish below .500 on the year... I'm not so optimistic about that.
Yeah, definitely don't hold your breath on that one....maybe you can lose a couple of 15-1 games in the final weeks. :)
