Predict the Mets, 2011

[bmfc1]

[u:3r81uspd]Just the Mets:[/u:3r81uspd]

1. Where they will finish in the NL East
2. What the final record will be
3. If you predict a wild card spot, say so
4. If you predict a playoff appearance, how far will they go?

Last years winners were Chad Ochoseis and GYC.

[bmfc1]

3d
82-80
No playoffs.

[Ceetar]

92-70. First place. (clinching on 9/25 against the Phillies, Santana pitches on ESPN Sunday Night baseball. Bobby V references the '00 team a lot during the broadcast)

They'll go all the way, have the parade on Halloween.

[Benjamin Grimm]

1. Where they will finish in the NL East THIRD PLACE
2. What the final record will be 83-79
3. If you predict a wild card spot, say so NO
4. If you predict a playoff appearance, how far will they go? N/A

[TransMonk]

1. Where they will finish in the NL East FOURTH
2. What the final record will be 77-85
3. If you predict a wild card spot, say so NULL
4. If you predict a playoff appearance, how far will they go? NULL

[seawolf17]

93-59, good for first place and an easy route to their third Series title.

[HahnSolo]

Third
83-79
No meaningful games in October

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm guessing high and could be wrong:

91-71, first place, stunning victories in the playoffs and world series, all while the Wilpons go Chapter 11.

[Vic Sage]

1. Where they will finish in the NL East 4th
2. What the final record will be 76-86
3. If you predict a wild card spot, say so Nyet
4. If you predict a playoff appearance, how far will they go? nowhere

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm part of the 82-83 win crowd.

[Willets Point]

90-72, 1st place, sweep NLDS, win NLCS 4-1, go up 3-0 in World Series and team is seized by the bank because the Wilpons default.

[Gwreck]

1. 2nd Place
2. 88-74
3. No wild card
4. No playoffs

[G-Fafif]

4th Place, 75-87 is as low as I'm willing to go even with various misgivings.

3rd Place, 85-77 is as high as I can see despite craning my neck as far as I can.

So let's say a straight-up 81-81 break-even third-place finish with the hope that I was laughably pessimistic back on March 25.

[smg58]

I'll go 88-74 and a wildcard.

[ashie62]

1. Fourth Place
2. 74-88
3. Null
4. And Void

[Theoldmole]

1. 2nd Place
2. 89-73
3. wild card
4. Lose in WS 4-2 to Red Sox

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

82-80 and nothing.

[MFS62]

Third place.
The official over/ under is 79 games won. The optimist in me says over - 81 games. But the realist in me says under - I'm picking 78 games won.
No Wild card.

With two games left, it's down to MFS62, Transmonk, Vic Sage for the prediction of the Mets record and one person is going to get it exactly right.

MFS is out of the running.
It's down to me and Monk.

It sucks being right.

[bmfc1]

Congratulations to TransMonk!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Yes, congratulations.

But, now that you know that you have the power to influence events, I hope you predict a World Series championship for 2012.

[MFS62]

Good job, Monk.
Honestly, I would rather be right about a 107 win, WS Championship prediction.
