On the other side of this, I just simmed through the 1981 season (full 162 games) and both of my local teams -- the Giants and A's -- had losing streaks of 16 games in July. The A's (who went to the ALCS in real life) finished 63-99, two games ahead of the last-place Twins. And actually, the Giants' losing streak was 17 games. Those are the longest streaks of either kind I've experienced so far. Think the longest winning streak to date is 14.
