In this Washington Times, reader Sam DC points out this passage:
With 49 games to go, no National has pitched a complete game. Neither have the Chicago Cubs' pitchers. No team in major league history has gone through an entire season without one.
And the Cubs didn't have a complete game either today.
There have been five teams that had just one complete game and it's been one team in each of the last five seasons.
2001 - Tampa Bay - Albie Lopez had a 2-0 shutout against Baltimore on April 13.
2002 - Colorado - Denny Neagle went 8 innings, but the Rockies lost in San Diego, 2-0 on August 30.
2003 - Houston - Wade Miller threw a 2-hitter in a 9-1 win at Chicago on May 30.
2004 - New York Yankees - Mike Mussina went 8 innings in a 4-3 loss to the White Sox in Chicago on April 22. Despite the lack of complete games, the 2004 Yankees still managed to scrape out 101 wins.
2005 - Tampa Bay - Mark Hendrickson on the penultimate day of the season, October 1, lost a 4-3 decision to the Orioles at home.
Cleveland leads the majors in complete games with 8. Arizona and Cincinnati lead the NL with 6. Five teams have just one complete game: Boston, Kansas City, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota.
