Will the 2013 Miami Marlins own the worst record in MLB History?

I know, I know...it was the first series, and the team we got swept by very well could win the NL and World Series, but it's not going to get much better this season with the lineup we have.

The 1899 Cleveland Spiders went 20-134 (.130) to set the record and then fold due to contraction. While other teams have worse percentages, the '62 Mets are next in terms of most losses, at 40-120, and then the 2003 Tigers at 43-119.

So where among the list do you think Miami will be this season, and will they lose more than 120 or 134? To break the record of losses, we'll have to go 27-135. For the worst percentage, we'd be 20-142 (.123) or 21-141 (.130) to match.

Also, anyone who can talk me off the ledge after 3 games of what I knew would be a horrible season would be much appreciated.

They are on pace to score 54 runs and have 0 wins.

They'll win 50 games. Those records are safe.

It was a bottom 5 team vs a top 5 team. They aren't as bad as they looked. Stras, Gio and Zim are gonna do that to a lot of teams.

No matter what, they'll still own more WS titles than the Braves.

Th Cleveland Spiders are what would happen if a bunch of guys on the street formed a MLB team. Their record is safe.
