Predict the Mets '15

[bmfc1]

Just the Mets, just the Mets. Step right up and predict the Mets:
1--Mets record for 2015
2--Where the Mets will finish in the NL East
3--Whether the Mets will make the playoffs and if so, how far they will go.

To encourage more participation, I'm posting this a week earlier than last year. As always, don't be a J.J. Putz and write "162-0."

78-84
3rd place.
No play-offs.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Didn't we do this already?

84 wins. 2nd place. No playoffs.

[dinosaur jesus]

91. 2nd. Lose in the second round.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm not JJ Putz but I'm constitutionally unable in March to write down anything but my brightest scenario no matter how flawed the team.

102-60, 1st place, all the way!!!

(92-70 is more like it, but they also go all the way in that scenario too)

[Edgy MD]

105-57

Parade.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

88-74
2nd
Not quite. But, hey, meaningful October games!

[nymr83]

87 wins, 2nd in the division and the 2nd wild card spot. they lose the 1 game playoff to San Francisco.

[bmfc1]

81-81, 3d place. No playoffs.

[Gwreck]

83-79, 3rd place, no playoffs (narrowly miss the second wildcard)

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

89-73, 2d place, winner of wild care game, divisional round loser

[MFS62]

88-74
Second
Make the playoffs.
Win it all.

Later

[Guest themetfairy]

84-78. Just good enough to make the playoffs. Not yet good enough to win the World Series.

[Ceetar]

90-72.
1st place.
I'd put in the sick day for 10/29 now if I were you. See you in downtown Manhattan.

[G-Fafif]

84-78 (can imagine anywhere between 78 and 94)
2nd Place (strong ST has elevated them above MIA in my mind)
But no playoffs

[Guest sharpie]

86-76 2nd place, 2nd wild card
Win play-in game, lose next round

I agree with Grimm...I think I did in the other thread, too.

[Lefty Specialist]

82-80. No playoffs. Outside of starting pitching, this team has no depth. Better luck next year.

I will say that, while I'm sticking with my 84 win prediction, the Mets offense has been very impressive this spring. Spring stats don't mean much to me, but if the guys can bring the bats north and be as consistent as they have been over the past three weeks for long stretches of this season...then the sky is the limit.

[Vic Sage]

85-77
3rd place
no playoffs (late run for the 2nd WC comes up short)

[ashie62]

94-68

1st place

makes world series.

[Zvon]

I'll go w/ JCL's under

92-70

All the way.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

91-71
Second place
Playoffs!

[HahnSolo]

83-79
Second
No playoffs

I thought so, but I can't find it. I'm probably going to
contradict my dire prediction from earlier, but I've gotten
a jolt of optimism this spring.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Well...
88 wins, no playoffs.

[metsmarathon]

90-72
2nd place
lose nlds

[batmagadanleadoff]

This is the first time in the Citi Field era that I'd say the Mets have a shot at the playoffs. Still, too much has to break their way.

84-78.

I think you are forgetting that the Mets played at Citi Field in 2009.

No. But that team was so dreadful by the 4th of July, that I probably forgot what they were like going into the season.
