Welcome to this week's Last Place Update. The 26-47 San Diego Padres continue to nip at the heels of the current Kings of the Cellar, the 24-48 Chicago Cubs. The Cubs hold a slim game and a half lead over the Padres. The 27-44 Colorado Rockies are in third, 3.5 games behind the Cubs. The AL worst, 29-42 Minnesota Twins, are two games behind the Rockies and 5.5 games behind the Cubs.
Once again, this week's honorable mention goes to the 34-38 Miami Marlins. They are 1-5 since the last update and are 3-15 since June 3.
The defending Kings of the Cellar champion Houston Astros are 30-42, six games behind the Cubs.
Since the last update, the Cubs went 1-4, the Padres went 2-3, the Rockies went 2-4, and the Twins went 3-3. The 1962 New York Mets were 20-52 after 72 games. The Cubs are four games behind that pace for modern futility. Will the Cubs sink further? Will the Padres pull the Cubs from the bottom of the heap?
Stay tuned and have a great day!!
