Just like the old days

[Ubiquitous]

Name the team (and the year) that lost 11 straight games and the opposing pitcher threw a complete game in each of the games. Just like they used to in the old days.

Nobody knows?

Give us some time here.

Well, I just have to believe that somewhere in all their losing streaks this must have happened to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.

What I am looking for is a team from a more modern generation losing 11 games and the opposing pitcher pitching a CG in each game.

In the old days this was not that uncommon. For instance in 1911 Boston (NL) lost 10 games in a row and the opposing team had a CG in each game.

SO I'm looking for a time (perhaps it was even the last time something like this happened) in which 11 complete games in a row would be highly unusual. That would not be the case in say 1899 where 88% of all games were CG. For instance in 1973 onle 23% of the games were CG so 11 in a row would be highly unusual.

In to avoid further problems why don't you tell us what the earliest season is that is acceptable?

[Cubsfan97]

either '62, '63 or '65 Mets. Or the '03 Tigers. Those are the only ones I can think of. I know they had horrible seasons. Whether or not they lost 11 in a row im not sure of.

[Ubiquitous]

How about the last one?

[KCGHOST]

I don't know if it was the last time but the 1961 Phillies lost 11 consecutive complete gamnes from 08-04-1961 to 08-14-1961.

[Ubiquitous]

That's the one I was looking for.

Good question.
