This is a companion of sorts to Coming soon, finally: 10,000 Wins. The Phillies got to 10,000 losses far too quickly, and correspondingly have taken too long to get to 10,000 wins, a milestone they will most likely reach some time in August.
Before that, probably in late May, they will become the first franchise in MLB history to reach 100,000 runs allowed. Similar to becoming the first to 10,000 (and 11,000) losses, this is despite the fact that there are three teams that began play a year earlier (Cardinals, Pirates, Reds), and two teams that were founding members of the National League SEVEN years before the Phillies entered the fray (Cubs, Braves).
