Colorado Rockies make headlines with a record 9-50 start, the worst in MLB's modern era. Team suffers from talent deficits and harsh playing conditions.

Few could have imagined what would come seven years later: The Rockies are on pace to shatter the modern record for losses, set last year by the Chicago White Sox. They're on pace to lose 130 games, which would be nine more than Chicago.

The Rockies were already looking like they were in danger of smashing the all-time loss record, and then they won half as many games in May, while he White Sox improved a little but maybe not enough.
