This pretty much describes the entire 2005 season for the Royals:

There was nothing macabre or morbid about the Red Sox' 5-2 victory, just that it was embarrassingly one-sided until Mike Timlin gave up two runs in the ninth inning. And the Sox have the pleasure of playing two more games at Kauffman Stadium against the worst team (40-83) in the major leagues.

Royals need to go 23-16 to avoid 100 losses.
