Erroneous! Erroneous!

In case you missed it...and you probably did...the Dayton Daily News provided this handy chart yesterday to put the current (at the time 17...now 18 game) home losing streak of the Dragons in perspective:

The 10 longest minor league home losing streaks since 2005:
Streak..Club (League)......................Season
..17....Dayton Dragons (Midwest League).....2010
..15....Lake Elsinore Storm (California.....2005
..14....Huntsville Stars (Southern).........2006
..14....Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (Midwest).2007
..13....Erie SeaWolves (Eastern)............2010
..13....Frederick Keys (Carolina)...........2008
..13....Frisco RoughRiders (Texas)..........2005
..13....Missoula Osprey (Pioneer)...........2008
..13....New Orleans Zephyrs (Pacific Coast).2009
..13....Oklahoma RedHawks (Pacific Coast)...2005

From whom did they receive this chart?

Great. The only problem is that the Timber Rattlers lost 14 games in a row in 2007.  The longest home losing streak for the Timber Rattlers that year was...10 (The last eight games of the last homestand of the first half and the first two of the first homestand of the second half)...There was an overall 14 game losing streak - which was from July 5 through July 22.  That streak only had four home losses.  Oh, the 0-10 road trip to Kane County, Lansing, and Beloit.  Thought I had buried that road trip permanently.

I really need to get these things written down somewhere.
