Record: 79 - 83
Birdos went off to a fast start in '08 staying above the .500 mark for a majority of the season. It looked as though the playoffs were in their future for the first time in club history but a late season collapse pushed them out of contention. Another very competitive year for the NL East who saw the Philadelphia Pirates win the World Championship. The Birdos relied heavily on the pitching staff who posted a 3.79 ERA. The Bats did not fair as well, an NL worst .246 batting average was a major component of the late season collapse.
