Detroit Grape Chews/Century of Failure
Main: Detroit Grape Chews
Hellmouth II/Season 4 marked the 100th season in which the 
Detroit Grape Chews
have failed to clinch a Hot League pennant or reach their first-ever Cup game:
- Hellmouth Cup: 24 seasons of pennant-free performance by Detroit (24 total)
- Toroidal Cup: 24 seasons of pennant-free performance by Detroit (48 total)
- Rainbow Cup: 24 seasons of pennant-free performance by Detroit (72 total)
- Klein Cup: 24 seasons of pennant-free performance by Detroit (96 total)
- Hellmouth II Cup: 4 (and counting) seasons of pennant-free performance by Detroit (100 total)
True to form, the Grape Chews finished strong during the regular season (Hellmouth II/Season 4), and made it to the postseason - only to fail at the finish line of breaking the curse.
The Grape Chews overpowered the 
Boylston Boogers
in the Division Series, beating them handily. The Grape Chews soon found themselves in the Hot League Championship Series, struggling against the mighty 
Jersey OSHA Violations
.
- "Here is our chance," they thought. "Surely, we won't fail this time," they said to themselves. "What are the odds we pooch it 100 times in a row?" they pondered, alone to themselves, when the locker room was empty.
- The Detroit Grape Chews fought valiantly with he Jersey OSHA Violations: tooth and nail fist to face, eye for an eye.
- The Grape Chews managed to tie up the series, 3-3.
It all came down to Game 7 (
64276ed7-86e4-48fb-9120-663c286025e2).
In Game 7, The Chews performed pitifully. Over the course of nearly 3,000 generations, there was never a doubt as to whether the OSHA Violations would win, it was only a matter of when. The Chews trailed the OSHA Violations for the entire match, adding another sordid chapter to the most tragic team in Golly.
