What is the best season record that a MLB team has done?

That would be the Cubs of 1906, not 1916, who went 116-36, easily the best W/L Percentage of any Major League team ever (after 1900)\n\nThe Cubs lost the World Series that year to the cross-town White Sox, in a major upset...the Cubs would go on to defeat Ty Cobb and the Tigers in the World Series' of 1907 and 1908, but as we all know, they haven't won a W.Series since...

2nd place in the AL Central, 2 games behind the Detroit Tigers.  They also have the second best record in the entire major leagues, as the 1-2 teams (the Tigers and White Sox) just happen to be in the same division.

The Major League Baseball season has been 162 games long for each team since 1961 (American League) and 1962 (National League). For the four-plus decades prior, the standard season length was 154 games. This page is about the evolution of the season schedule since Major League Baseball began.

Yes. Their pitching is superb, their hitting is excellent (Chris Shelton...) And their defense is good. Watch them at the end of the season as they make a run at the AL Central.

The Yankees have the advantage in the all-time series with a record of 1,060-879 (.547) through the 2005 season. The Yankees also hold lopsided advantages in World Series Championships (26 to 6) and American League pennants (39 to 11). In the playoffs the clubs have squared off three times, the Yankees winning two times, and the Red Sox once.

Without a doubt it is their starting pitching.  Night in and night out they are in every game because of their starters.  Even their rookie Justin Verlander is being productive.  Mike Maroth was leading the league in ERA last week and Jeremy Bonderman has the potential to be an All-Star.  Nate Robertson and Kenny Rogers have been solid players as well.  The Tigers are currently leading the league in ERA.  It also helps that Chris Shelton was on fire to start the year to ignite a dangerous offense.  Their relieving pitching has been able to hold the lead for them and has brought them to being within 1.5 games of the best record in the league.

The longest winning streak for a Red Sox team is 8 Wins in 1978 and again in 1982. Of course the season started in early april in these seasons and prior to approximately 1960 the games didn't start until mid to late April.They now start at the beginning of April. Prior to 1978 the longest winning streak was 6 in 1918. The longest losing streak was in 1946, 8 to start the season.

1927. It had the classic Murderers Row of Ruth who hit 60 hom runs without steroids and Lou Gehrig. The Yankees 110–44 in that year, winning the A.L. pennant by 19 games, and sweeping the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series. Only four teams have won more regular season games (the record of 116 is held by the 2001 Seattle Mariners).\n\nThe 1961, 1998 and 1939 teams were all great and would probably be the best year ever in most other ball clubs.

Their only postseason experience came during the 1981 strike year.  During that postseason, they beat the Phillies 3-2 in a divisional playoff before losing 3-2 versus the Dodgers in the NL Championships series.\n\nSo, they've been there once and have a 5-5 record.\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL_1981.shtml\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/WSN/\n\nAlthough divisional playoffs weren't a regular occurence back then, they had to play the Phils because it was the year they split the season into two halves, with the division winners from each half facing off in the first playoff round.

I'd go with the 1992 team.  It was the year Andy Van Slyke had a career season, and the first season in which Barry Bonds showed himself to be a dominant force, hitting 34 homers and putting up an OBP of more than .450.  \n\nOn the mound, they got another excellent season from Doug Drakek (15 wins and a 2.77 ERA), while Bob Walk, Zane Smith and Randy Tomlin all pitched well.  They also brought up a 26-year-old knuckleballer named Tim Wakefield that year, and he'd be awesome during the second half of the season and into the playoffs.\n\nThe Pirates should have played for the World Series that season, but the usually astute Leyland made a bad pitching decision by leaving Doug Drabek in with a 2-0 lead going to the bottom of the ninth in Game Seven.  Drabek was tired, and he ended up loading the bases with nobody out before leaving the game in Belinda's hands.  I'm sure every Pirates and Braves fan remembers what would happen, with Sid Bream scoring on Francisco Cabrera's single to send the Braves to the Series.\n\nBonds would be in San Francisco the next season, Drabek came back down to being a mortal, and Van Slyke began a rapid decline.  But for a few seasons, they had a great run.

The Chicago Cubs of 1880 and 1935 both won 21 straight, and the 1916 New York Giants own the major league record of 26 wins in a row. The A's had set the AL mark for consecutive victories since their last loss, 2-1 to Toronto on Aug. 12. \n\nPlace in History \nLongest winning streaks \nYear  Team  No.  \n1916  New York Giants  26  \n1880  Chicago Cubs  21  \n1935  Chicago Cubs  21  \n2002  Oakland Athletics*  20  \n1884  Providence Grays  20  \n1906  Chicago White Sox  19  \n1947  New York Yankees

The best regular NBA season record belongs to the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls with 72 wins and 10 losses. The best playoffs record belongs to the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers who won the championship by going 15-1. \nHere's my source: http://www.nba.com/finals2001/best_single_season_wins.html?nav=ArticleList

Rangers in a sweep.  The Rangers have the best hitting lineup in the majors, and are on pace to shatter the doubles record of 370 in a season.  The Diamondbacks are a decent defensive team, but the Rangers will prove to be too much.  The pitching is incredible away from Ameriquest Field, so Arizona shoulod be on the lookout for the Rangers!
