I'll go with 91 wins and third place in the division.
ReplyDeleteI'm just relieved that four guys were more optimistic than I was.
ReplyDeleteI'd say 96 is Above Average.
ReplyDeleteJM....I'm at the top of the list at 97. But since we read the blog every day, how can any daily observer here really be considered optimistic?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, where is Winnie?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him here in quite a while and no predictions.
I hope he's okay.
The NY press is saying that Judge will not sign today, so take off a few more wins for all the tedium of every city asking him about it when he goes there
ReplyDelete. Plus, the Vegas guy in me says that Canada won't relent on vaccinations, so Yankees will not fare well there. I feel good about my prediction, esp. when Sevy is out by May.
If there is tie between me and El Duque, will we have to have a duel?
ReplyDeleteGotta love the PR masterclass by the Yankees, announcing two hours before gametime that they're not re-signing the only truly great player on the roster. We're becoming the Mets.
ReplyDeleteI’ll take 80
ReplyDeleteYes, sending a shout out to WINNIE> WE MISS YOU,,,,,, here's hoping you're doing OK and just bored with this team!
ReplyDelete80 painful and misleading wins and 82 excruciating losses.
ReplyDeleteI have been stoooopidly busy. And depressed. The world is dreadful now. Like the kind of dreadful that made all our parents trauma survivors and PTSD sufferers.
ReplyDeleteMy father didn't go to Normandy in June '44 for a vacation, and yet there are still genocidal fascists destroying Europe. And in the US Senate. Appointing more fascists to the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteKen, I've missed you all too. I've been lurking. Know that when I am not speaking know that I am always always lurking.
ReplyDelete$233M over 8 years is sort of paltry...
ReplyDelete#KBJ !!
ReplyDeleteHey Winnie...Glad to see you didn't succumb to any hospital germs.
ReplyDeleteThey'll win 90 games and trade half their "A" prospects at the deadline to get there
ReplyDeleteWinnie, I absolutely ECHO your depression about the current state of affairs, I have also dropped off commenting as much but have continued to lurk, every day in fact,,,,, the horrors and atrocities that are being perpetrated abroad, more often than not, cannot find the words or brain space to chime in on baseball,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteBUT> I'm extremely grateful for ALL OF YOU who daily bring the comedy, insight and brilliant criticism that has profoundly buoyed me during these brutal times, and, that unites us all here at IIHIIFIIC!
Bless You!
ALL HAIL IIHIIFIIC
FU HAL
PLAY BALL!
ReplyDeleteJudge turned down $39MM per.
Trade that mother to Milwaukee. Or Pittsburgh. Or anywhere else.
30MM
ReplyDeleteSo no Judge extension…wasn’t his new contract the reason we passed on so many other players this off season?
ReplyDeleteDick, you raise a reasonable question - if the team can’t/won’t Sidney Judge, shouldn’t he be traded?
ReplyDeleteWho needs Judge, Hicks and Stanton are here for the next 5 years. In fact I think they just gave Hicks a lifetime contract.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I meant sign Judge. Damn auto correct
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteWe can finish fourth without him
ReplyDeleteThey gave Hicks a lifetime BASEBALL contract - which, in Hicks case is only good for 50 games a year
Can I revise my 80 to a 79? We’re not going to win this one either.
ReplyDeleteWell, Cole looks like he came to play
ReplyDeleteCole getting hammered early...not the same w/o gorilla glue...
ReplyDeleteWell, you can't win them all
ReplyDeletePathetic ...
ReplyDeleteWatching Cole implode in the first inning. Can I amend my number DOWN?!
ReplyDeleteHey, Cole already in late-season form!
ReplyDeleteAre they actually running a replay of the playoff game last year? Or has the season started?
RIZZO!
ReplyDeleteIzo good! Or something like that.
Agree about the state of the world, guys. And agree that this is one of the very best places to take cover from it.
ReplyDeleteI think Stanton basically makes up his mind about which number pitch to swing at back in the dugout.
ReplyDeleteThe world has always been ugly and dangerous, humans easily vile. We seem to somehow think that we have evolved.
ReplyDeleteAsk 100-yr old vet about WWII,
A 70-yr. old about Vietnam,
A 35 yr old about Iraq.
How about Bosnia or Central Africa.?
Seriously, just study history and realize how lucky most of us have been to have been born in the 1950's in America.
Most of us have simply dodged the historical bullet.
On that happy thought,
How About Those Yankees!!
Trade Judge to Pittsburgh and let him enjoy the anominity.
Nice to see Gallo gettig off to a good start: Called out on strikes.
ReplyDeleteCommentary of the year so far, regarding Falafel: "He doesn't hit a lot of home runs."
ReplyDelete16 in 1,523 plate appearances? No, he does not.
Let's give HAL and the Brain some credit. Think about how hard they must have worked, coming up with a number they could be sure Judge would reject, but would still make it sound like they were serious.
ReplyDeleteWho says these guys don't earn their money?
$1, Bob.
ReplyDeleteNO SEE PO SOMETHING, YOU BIG HAMBURGER!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the way we should look at the Judge situation...the Yanks Jetered Judge...
ReplyDeleteCastro needs to get rid of that ugly Mets glove...
ReplyDeleteBTW, the report said that Judge wants 9 years...F that IMO...
ReplyDeleteOh good. DJ ties it up. Now Chapman can blow the game. It's a Yankee/Red Sox Tradition.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with 80 wins and second to last place.
ReplyDeleteAs Judge's tenure with the team ticks down to zero, the demoralized character of the team will saturate the stadium, until the stadium is empty and everyone is going to Met games.
But we'll still have Randy Levine, Lonn Trost, Hal Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and his dog, Aaron Boone.
Not that anyone will care.
I'm late to the party. This year is really tough for me to call. I think they'll be bad but not below .500 bad. Most likely 5 games over, so 86 games.
