Win Prediction contest

[D-train]

Teams that win 54% for an entire decade don't win 54% every single year. Some years there lower and some years they pop and are higher. Its those pop years when you have the best chance of winning it all. 54% should not be your goal at the beginning of the year. Since the year 2000 World Series champions have averaged 94.7 wins for a .585 winning percentage. The only team to win a world series below .540 was the Cardinals in 2006.

which i pretty much verbatim what dipoto said in the first place. My point is people construe 54% as being mediocre when in fact its a pretty good season as well as a pretty good decade. that's the thing about baseball, there isn't a lot of winning to be done in the first place

And as Captain pointed out ONE team has won a WS with less than 54%

DT, did I do something bad to get dropped from the list? I didn't think I was that much of a troublemaker...

Could you go back to the thread in the section above and find yourself and let me know where you are? Thanks!

I found it on page 8 of the thread. Page 9 showed his name within the whole list of protagonists.

I would be perfectly happy to lose if the M's exceeded 90 wins, won their division, and advanced to at least the ALCS...

Darren, I found it and responded to you on this thread, 5 or 10 posts ago.
88 wins and a 1.069 ops.....okay, that's a lie. MarinerFan4Life ventured .690 ops.

Ouch, I would be banned forever if I guessed he who's name cannot be mentioned at a 1.069 ops....

Are we good DT?

Yeah, JP would almost have to go 0-for the rest of the season to drop to .681 and, I'd rather he got hot.
Getting to 91 wins is feasible if my GT win streak were to continue , BUT, seattlefan-daBronx and techmc, who both also picked 91
(both buttholes because I picked 91 first so that's MY number signed, Karen) wins stand to be closer to JP's OPS than me.

GO MARINERS!!!!!!

I would be ecstatic if I lose the tie breaker because that means they went 12-3 to finish it out

You have a good attitude, tehmc!

Remember when we were at the bottom of the pile in wins? Keep it going.

You...were "underperforming".
I was historically and personally undermining the Mariner's season and about to be banished and shunned by this marinertalk forum.
Yes, I remember.
