Impressive.. The right-hander became only the fourth pitcher in MLB history to lose consecutive starts by at least 17 runs, and the first since George Van Haltren of the Brooklyn Wonders in 1890, according to ESPN Research.
Same year my Grandfather was born in Switzerland. What was life was like there 136 years ago. Probably better than it is here now.

The Brooklyn Wonders? I dont believe ive heard of them before..

Ill tell you what i think has changed since 1890, lack of optimism about the future. What drove things was believing your children would have a better life than yours. I dont think people believe that anymore, and thats significant

I dont have confidence in it. Compared to the world my parents brought me into. I think they viewed the world as being able to continue to deliver a growing economy, better jobs, healthier technologies and enviroment. Now its all become a challenge. Of course just my age could play into it
