As celebrated by Phillysucks:
""The Phillies are closing in on being the first professional team to reach 10,000 losses all time.
Below is the Phillies all time record.
Wins: 8808 Losses: 9999
Current as of 7/8/07
Initial stats prior to 2005 compiled from baseball-reference.com. 2005 season to present, record is updated daily.
Note: There is some conflicting information out there. The Phillies website includes the records from the Worcester Brown Stockings (1880-1882) which would make the Phillies 7-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on June 25, 2005 the 10,000th loss."
Who knows whether we have already reached or just one loss away? I'll operate on the assumption that we have yet to reachb this milestone.

Phillies magical misery tour
Groan..........
I had breakfast with the family yesterday at a local diner. Before the waitress could bring the coffee, my Dad shook his head and scolded me. "Don't EVER mention THEM in my presence again." My mother rolled her eyes and piped, " Can we order first?"
i knew immediately who held my Dad's scorn. He stayed awake the night before and watched the Phillies collapse after having a six run lead. He even drug our poor waitress into the conversation. She informed my Dad that she stopped watching the Phillies ten years ago. She simply did not want to subject herself to the pain.
"
Dad was annoyed with the management and the players. Knowing the answer, I asked "Pop, why do you do this to yourself?"
With his notorious shit eating grin he responded " what would we have to talk about, the bonehead in the White House?"
Good point. With that, he dove into my Belgium waffle.

Phillies Phever: A possible parade, ugh
"As the team’s 10,000th defeat approaches, it is being anticipated as a way for fans to commemorate their long-suffering fealty. A Web site, celebrate10000.com, is offering a T-shirt and a pint glass embossed with the box score from the milestone. WIP-AM, the city’s roiling sports-talk station, is considering a parade.
“We might be first to 10,000, but we’re first in something,” said Glen Macnow, a host at WIP and the co-author of “The Great Philadelphia Fan Book.”
