Anointed One
Gone Country!
For most of us, the team has already exceeded expectations... This is the 1st time in years I've actually felt hope for an M's team moving forward...
I think I was similar with VERY tempered expectations ( an $80mil payroll only goes so far ) - then they went all TB Rays on everyone and have a foot in the door with a glimmer of a chance at playing in October ( even losing a 1 game WC playoff would be a monumental step moving forward for this franchise )Yeah I think I had them around 70. But at this point they'd have to fall off a cliff to not finish over .500.
right now today..they have 26 games left..they are at 74 wins...Wow, most of the posts for number of wins this season are falling far short.
In order to be "in the ball park" witn 28 games remaining, with these guesses, the M's can only win this percentage of the remaining games:
@74 wins - NWinAZ would need appx 7% wins
@78 wins - SeattleCoug and myself would need appx 21% wins
@81 wins - Anointed One would need appx 32% wins
@83 wins - DHoey would need appx 40% wins
@87 wins - Ulmax would need appx 53% wins
Unless the "stuff" hits the fan, it's looking like Ulmax will be the closest guess and win the GRAND PRIZE-to be announced at a later date.
Yea Competitive in the WC race and shoot I mean still not out of the division race, with only 2 of your future pieces up. With a lot of money to play with this off-season if you play it right the Mariners could catapult themselves from fringe this year to actual contenders next year. Of course all will have to see to believe.For most of us, the team has already exceeded expectations... This is the 1st time in years I've actually felt hope for an M's team moving forward...
yea at this point playing .500 the rest of the way gets them to 87 winsYeah I think I had them around 70. But at this point they'd have to fall off a cliff to not finish over .500.
