It’s true, they’re the last undefeated team left in baseball, which quite frankly at 3-0, is kinda sad

SCOTT JACOBS

Just 159 more, just 159 more.  Take it one game at a time would ya guys!  If the Marlins are to go undefeated this season, they’re the only ones left with an unblemished record, then they might want to schedule the Nationals 140 more times.

Okay seriously, at 3-0 the Marlins are an iceberg in an ocean filled with melting ice.  But their iceberg too will melt, and soon, probably tonight, there will be no one left among baseball’s undefeated.

It took the Titans a few months before they lost to the Jets.  But baseball teams can’t even make it unscathed out of the first week.  Think about it, in what other sport is the first week of your season more meaningless?  I’m waiting.  Still waiting?  Got nothing?  Yeah, me neither.

For those of you marking the answers down in your program the answer is baseball.  The Marlins could finish this weekend at 6-0, and I don’t think a single person would look at them differently then when they started the season, with minimal expectations and the lowest payroll in the game.   Why?  Because the season is so damn long that your average sports fan doesn’t truly get into it until halfway into the year, when there’s still 81 games left, which is one game less than the NBA plays over it’s entire regular season!

And while we’re at it, the Nationals (who the Marlins swept) and the Indians (who also got swept, duh!) are the last two teams who have yet to win.  Come to think of it, it seems like teams lose a lot to start the year, compared to winning a lot.  How many undefeated teams do you see on a yearly basis even into the second week?  Think about it.

Not many.

Most of the time, not any.
