Los tres perdedores, or the three levels of losing in Edmonton

There are losing franchises, there are losing organizations, and there are the properties of the Edmonton Oilers.  From 2007-2008 through today, Edmonton's three teams have combined for a winning percentage of .370 over nine seasons.  The worst team in baseball, the Pittsburgh Pirates, a team that last had a winning season seventeen years ago, have a .420 winning percentage over the last nine seasons.  The worst team in football, the Houston Texans, an expansion team, has gone 49-79 (.340) in their first eight seasons in the league, though they've been one game over .500 in the last three seasons.  The Edmonton Oilers are making a case as the worst franchise in sports right now.  Below the jump is the carnage.
