Are the 2013 Marlins the Worst Team in Baseball History?

Their record is now 1-8, putting them on path for an 18 victory season, meaning they would lose 144 games, far beyond the present record holder, the hapless 1962 Mets, which lost an astonishing 120 games. My buddy R predicted last December the 2013 Marlins would win 39 and lose 123 – a prediction that now seems highly optimistic. But note this: Game by game, they're still doing better than the '62 Mets, a spanking new expansion team. The Mets went 0-9 before they won a game.
