Welcome to this week's Last Place Update, from back home in New Orleans. We have a tie for Kings of the Cellar this week. The 16-32 Chicago Cubs and Minnesota Twins are duking it out for their share of the title this week. The 17-33 San Diego Padres are right in there with their losing ways.
Minnesota dropped off and went 4-6 in their last ten games and Chicago broke their nine game losing streak, but is still 1-9 in their last ten games. San Diego lost four straight and are 3-7 in their last ten games. The defending champion Houston Astros have lost five in a row and are 22-27.
This week's honorable mention, once again, goes to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves lost eight straight and are 4-11 in their last 15 games. Atlanta is now tied for last in the NL East.
After 48 games, the 1962 Mets were 12-36 and the 1899 Cleveland Spiders were 9-39. Again, no team appears to be a threat to these records at this time, but there is plenty of season left.
Stay tuned and have a great day!!
