Match 34 is simply not for New York dishes.

As it is a curse that has been happening for more than a decade now, the dishes simply had no chance.
The dishes lost their 34th game of the season a remarkable 16 years in a row now in what has undoubtedly become one of the strangest and completely without consequence of the history of sport. It started in 2010, when the dishes fell to the Nationals in Washington, 6-4. Now, every year since, the dishes have abandoned this match.
The cardinals were the 13th different team that the dishes also confronted during this period, so it is not as if it was linked to a specific opponent. This only makes the more strange sequence.

To be clear, the sequence means nothing in the big scheme of things for the food. This is just a competition at the start of a 162 game campaign. The dishes made the playoffs several times and even reached the World Series during this race. Obviously, it is not linked to any post-season result.
But for any reason, the match n ° 34 is no longer winning for the food.
The defeat on Sunday, which was the second of the food day, left them at 22-13 this season. They will launch a series of three games against the Diamondbacks on Monday evening in Arizona.
This period of drought for dishes will not last forever. Honestly, it is wild that it even lasted so long. But, on the basis of the current history, it is a fairly sure bet that the dishes will also lose the match n ° 34 next spring.
