This is not a definitive list, but rather an overview of whom I believe are the 5 best losers in MLB’s past 11 seasons. I would have added the Detroit Tigers, but this list is subjective, and I hate the Tigers, and I don’t think they will make the postseason ever again, at least I hope not.

Additionally, I would have added the Dodgers because they’re my team. But unfortunately, the Dodgers haven’t been good for an entire season in twenty years.

5. 1998 Atlanta Braves

Like they did throughout most of the 90’s, the Atlanta Braves of 1998 had it all. They had impressive bats with Javy Lopez, Andres Galarraga, Chipper Jones and Andrew Jones (who was not nearly as fat and worthless as he is today as a Dodger), all with thirty or more home runs and 90 RBI each. They had aces in Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine, the Braves’ Forté during the 90’s. Maddux finished with a record of 18-9 an ERA of 2.22, while Glavine went 20-6 with an ERA of 2.47, earning the veteran his second Cy Young Award.

The Braves went 106-56 on the year but managed to lose to Tony Gwynn and the San Diego Padres in the disappointing 98′ NLCS.

ST LOUIS – Before the Dodgers arrived at Chavez Ravine last Thursday, they were National League West champs. And while much credit must be given to Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals (who had nothing but pride to play for) for beating the Arizona D-Bags three games out of four, they might not have been able to do it without the support of Dodger fan and MLBlogger Alyssa Milano who gave them something more to play for (a date possibly? Well, not if you look like Ron Villone).

Milano, who was in St. Louis to promote her MLB gear for women sparked the St. Louis offense in the clubhouse and in the dugout. She comments on the Dodgers success:

“We have clinched the NL West and that is glorious. Manny should be the NL MVP. We wouldn’t be where we are right now without him. And Andre Ethier had a breakout year. I am very proud of you, Andre.”

Good luck in October Dodgers. I’ll be at the Saturday and Sunday games with my birthday suit, wtf? party hat on.
