There has been plenty of angst and frustration about both Chicago baseball teams at the beginning of this young season. Both teams fans are not happy about sub .500 records, and there has been plenty of "Season's Over" feelings of panic to go around. Before I felt the need to go the ledge with my baseball emotions, a friend of mine brought this to my attention today. It goes back through the last ten seasons and shows teams that had awful starts to their seasons, yet eventually made the playoffs. Here's the link to it here. So despite how icky the season feels so far, it's still VERY early.1. 2009 Yankees were 13-15 on May 7
2. 2009 Twins were six games under (56-62) on August 17 and won the division
3. 2008 Phillies were 4-6 and then 8-10
4. 2007 Rockies were 5-8 and then 18-27 and went to the series
5. 2007 Yankees lost 7 straight from April 20-27 to fall to 18-23 and were 26-31 in early June but rebounded to make the playoffs
6. 2006 A's were 23-29 at one point and reached the ALCS
7. 2005 Astros started 15-30 and went to the series
8. 2003 Twins started 9-12 and won the AL Central
9. 2002 Angels started 6-14 and won the World Series
10. 2002 A's started 19-25 and won 103 games
