IronPigs Open Season With A Whimper
While the Phillies haven’t exactly burst out of the gate with a good start (they’re 6-7), at least they’re not the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. The Phils’ new AAA affiliate has opened its inaugural season with an 0-11 start. They’ve been outscored so far, 53-16, and have been shut out three times. The IronPigs are already 7.5 games back in their division and haven’t scored more than 3 runs in a game this year. They also were dominated in their most recent series by a guy named Barbaro. On the plus side… uhm… gee, I dunno. Lehigh Valley did beat the Phillies’ AA affiliate in a preseason game. 0-11! That’s pretty hard to do in baseball. Perhaps the Lehigh Valley IronPigs are the new Washington Generals, traveling around the country only to lose every single time. IronPigs Losing Streak Reaches 11 [Iron Pigs via Philly EDGE] |

Not every single time. They actually won tonight, but still didn’t score more than 3 runs.
