What's the Record for Losses in a Month?
Right now Rakuten is 2 and 20 for August and close to being 2-21. What is the record for ineptitude in a month?

As I suspected, Nikkan Sports provided the answer this morning (August 31, 2005).
In August of 1961 Kintetsu went 8 and 22, so Rakuten was going for the tie of the record this evening with their 2 and 21 for August (5 losses, a win, 11 losses, a win, 5 losses). However, you'll be glad to know that they just defeated Nippon Ham minutes earlier to writing this, so they finish August 3 and 21.
The only other team to finish a month with 21 losses was when the Taiei Stars who went 3 and 21 in April of 1955, making Rakuten the third team to lose as many as 21 in a month.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
