Fixed. Pardon the gloss.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Ahem. Fix mine, too. I'm still in contention.

Y'know, I stared at 77-85 and thought, "is that right"? Sorry 'bout that.

[Vic Sage]

i guess i missed this year's prediction thread, but i would've gone with 10 games under, at 76 - 86.

[ashie62]

I'm good if they play another six weeks.

[G-Fafif]

Mets are 76-81, with five remaining. Those who are still not wrong:

TransMonk: 81-81
smg: 81-81
LWFS: 80-82
bmfc: 78-84
G-Fafif 78-84
MFS: 78-84
Lefty Specialist: 77-85
batmags 77-85

Too optimistic:

Edgy: 102-59 (+1 rainout on what turned out to be a sunny day)
JCL: 93-69 (typed 93-59, assuming this was what he meant)
seawolf: 92-70
Ceetar: 89-73
Zvon: 89-73
Ashie 88-74
Kong: 88-74
marathon: 85-77
Ben Grimm 83-79
Gwreck: 82-80
themetfairy: 82-80

Not optimistic enough:

Nymr: 75-87
HahnSolo: 73-89

Hopefully they'll win both and everyone will be wrong.

So either we have a three-way tie for getting it right or a four-way tie for coming closest (though by The Price Is Right rules, those coming closest without going over...ah, who cares?). FYI, all remaining entrants picked playoffless third place, for which the Mets are guaranteed at least a tie going into Game 162.

[MFS62]

If I lose, I'll PM you where to send my Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat, and my copy of the home version of the game.

I accept 1/4 of the title for 2014.

[metsmarathon]

i predicted a second-place finish. surely that's gotta count for something...

No Rice-A-Roni, but you do get the home game.
