Ryan Howard was 10th in MVP voting in 2010. I completely forgot this.

and in 2011. A team that won 100+ games only had 2 guys in the top 10 in MVP voting and they finished 9/10.

Someone tweeted something along the lines of, if the Phillies continue their post ASB pace, they will finish the season with 60 wins. The Phillies worst record in over 50 years, which I assume will net us the first pick.

They're bad but they're not .208 win percentage bad. That's 34-128 over a season.

Guessing they end at about 70 wins.

Yeah, I don't think they end up there either. Puts into perspective how bad they have been though.

Feel like 5-19 since the ASB is pretty clear
