WPK Team Records, pt. 3 (SJL- the expansion clubs)
Houston Cavaliers:
It should come as no surprise that the two teams at the bottom of the list in terms of winning percentage, not just in the SJL but in all of the WPK, are the two clubs that joined the league in the 1975 expansion. There isn't much to say about Houston yet except that they over-achieved a bit in 1976 when they took a big step forward from their last place inaugural season and then under-achieved a bit in 1977 when they finished in 10th place with 95 losses. Now, in their 4th season, they are pretty darn horrible and on pace for their worst record yet.
Chicago Fire:
The Fire were pretty respectable in their first season and then plunged down into last place the following two seasons. There isn't much that can be said about them this year other than that they are better than their expansion counterparts Houston at this point and shouldn't come close to their 106 loss record of last season.
I should probably note also though that Houston has the 3rd highest rated farm system in the WPK while Chicago's rates 15th out of 22. So perhaps better times are ahead for Houston sooner than for Chicago?
