How bad was July 2016 for the Arizona Diamondbacks?

Really? Really! Really...

What a difference punctuation makes. If you insert a comma between the header and subheader, you get "How bad was July 2016 for the Arizona Diamondbacks, really?" which seems positively optimistic. But if you use a period instead, you get the very different, "How bad was July 2016 for the Arizona Diamondbacks? Really." That seems a good deal closer to the truth, to be honest, as the D-backs went 7-17, for a winning percentage of just .292. There has only been one month in D-backs history where they won fewer games: the hell of July 2004, where the team went 5-23.
