Eleven straight losing seasons

Sounds familiar:

Sabean called [Brewers GM] Melvin to ask about reliever Luis Vizcaino, but Melvin said no. Melvin was not a seller because of "our history. We've had 11 losing seasons in a row and we have a chance to finish .500 or above. I don't want to hurt our chances by trading someone and getting back somebody who's only going to help our (Double-A) club this year."

I'm pissed we dropped that series to them, but I'll pull for a .500 season for them going forward.

That's from this, which is now being discussed at Primal.
