The On Deck Circle Really???-
RedBaron It seems like they're going for historically bad franchises ... but I still don't see how you leave those clowns at MSG off the list.

The Victoria Times —
Much has been made of Marvin Harrison's gun. Why , exactly? Somehow, the Twins made the list of the top 10 worst franchises because of their "moneyball" practices. Then that should mean the A's are #1, right? The Pens-Flyers series is about to get underway, and The Pensblog completely exhausted themselves over it. Labels: Links of the Day
FoxSports.com: Twins 7th-worst franchise in sports

Joe C., with the help of a reader, passed along a list from FoxSports.com of the 10 worst sports franchises. It’s a predictable and lazy attempt to grab some eyes, as most top 10 lists are.

Sometimes we at FJM Headquarters receive so many emails about one particular article that we have no choice but to put aside our busy work as mild-mannered pension plan monitors and such and just like lay out the article for all to see. Such is the case with this pointless list ...
The Word Is Out: The Bucs Are The Worstest
Sportsocracy.org —
This Fox Sports list of the 10 Worst Franchises in Pro Sports has been making the rounds today. No surprise, *YOUR* battling Bucs were rated #1. Yes, the worst team in any of the major professional sports leagues. Congrats on that.
Next time a Pirates exec is standing at a podium telling us all how things are looking up, remember this list. I know it's their job to put on a happy face and all, but it's not fooling anyone. Just fix it and quit bullshitting us, mmmkay?

We're Number 1!
