You get a chance to re-consider the projection you made for team wins, before the first ball was struck or, in the case of the Yankees, " missed."
So, for those of you who felt pressured or giddy with joy and optimism before the bell rang, here is your chance to apply some reason:
Simply hit the re-set button, above, and re-submit your new forecasts for the season. The first prize of the shiny automobile replica still holds.
This almost never happens, either in this blog or in baseball.
But, due to an early crop and shipment of unsliced and uncut pineapples, the Yankees are able to make this special offer.
Personally, I am staying with my prediction of 89 wins.
But some of you may wish to re-set, say, to 82.
Thereby holding on to the .500 season the team has thus far fashioned against the " lower end" of the division.
Some of you may also realize that the farm system has already been gutted. That wade is a good glove and a ground out to first, that Andjuhar can't hit anymore, and that Jake Cave was dealt for dishwater.
This is your one and only chance.
Truthfully, this re-set option has not been cleared by our optimistic leader, Mr. Duque. He may feel it falls into the category of " social media tampering."
This option was suggested by Dr. Andrews, whom we all admire and respect.
We are doing it for the players in the hospitable, or about to be.
Is too early for a fire sale for future prospects? I don't want to see the team empty the minor leagues for crap under-the-budget players whom won't really improve the team.
ReplyDeleteHow many from the bullpen end up on the DL after today? Sonny "4 and a third" Gray hits the mound and we'll need around 5 innings from an already exhausted bullpen.
ReplyDeleteOK Alphonso, I will take up your offer.
ReplyDeleteI was at 96 wins I believe so now I will adjust down to OWWWWWWWW. Crap. I just sprained my typing finger! Son of a OWWWWWW. Now I have to go on the 30 day commenting DL. This season sucks!

A Mulligan on knowledge.
ReplyDeleteA baseball predictability kindergarten. Or something like that.
I'm sticking with prediction of 64 wins (in Hexadecimal).
ReplyDeleteCall me an optimist...
Mr Rufus T. Firefly, you are one optimist
ReplyDelete"Slave, I have staked my life upon a cast,
ReplyDeleteAnd I will stand the hazard of the die."
I appreciate the second chance, Alphonso. But in all fairness, my ludicrously optimistic prediction was based in good part on how much depth the team seemed to have. So...how can I in good conscience bail out now?
I stick with my original pick: 112 wins.
Which I know they will not attain, and which—more importantly—I realize has brought the fury of the JuJu gods down upon us. But I will soon try a little something to get the curse of ODUMODU off us. In the meantime...go Yanks!
