Kip Wells lost his 17th game of the year for the Cardinals today in Cincinnati. That is the 33rd time since 1901 that a Cardinals pitcher has lost 17 or more games in a season. The last time it happened was back in 1990 when Bob Forsch Joe Magrane lost 17 and Jose DeLeon lost 19.
Three Hall of Fame pitchers are on the list: Steve Carlton, Dizzy Dean, and Jesse Haines.
The Cardinals are also using Anthony Reyes, who is 2-14, in the starting rotation.
from watching some documentaries on Steve Carlton I understand he played with some horrible teams (He went 13-20 in '73) but it's still pretty shocking, in '72 he went 27-10.
