“Oh my, I can’t explain it to you. We’ve got the music on in the clubhouse and I’m drinking something other than a diet soda,” Trembley said. “I can tell you that right now. It’s unbelievable. I’m just glad this thing is over. I can’t think of anything [else] that has been as challenging.”

The 13-game skid, which demoralized the club and brought more attention to Trembley’s tenuous job security, was the longest in the major leagues this season and the third-longest in franchise history. It ended one game shy of the 14-game losing streak that the organization suffered through Aug. 11-25, 1954, and eight games behind the 21 consecutive contests the 1988 team lost to begin that year.
