SHaM-WoW!!! 2016

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The SHaMs (Second HAlf Mets) have 74 games left.

How many of them do they win?

Too many options for a poll so write in if you want to choose 35 wins or 38 wins

While we're at it, predict your

SHaMVP:

[Edgy MD]

Last year's SHaMs were a .589 team, vs. .529 for the FHaMs. I can predict no less.

[Ceetar]

45. Conforto.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm not optimistic. I'll say 36-38. The ShaMVP will be Cespedes.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I took #2, and Con4to...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

My SHaMVP is uh, Granderson

[Edgy MD]

deGrom

[Chad ochoseis]

I'll be optimistic and guess that Syndergaard and Céspedes are OK. I see a lot of games with weak teams like the Phillies, Marlins, Padres, and Yankees on the SHaMS schedule. So I'll go with 43.

D'Arnaud stays in the lineup and silences the doubters.

[TransMonk]

.500

Cespedes...who will immediately split for a 6-year-deal on an AL team.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Owies are a bitch.

36-38. José, weirdly, leading to continued weird feelings for all.

[Lefty Specialist]

40. La Potencia.

[Chad ochoseis]

28-25, .528, with 21 to go. So, on pace for 39, though with the improved lineup and weak schedule, somewhere around 41 looks more likely.

Surprisingly enough, nobody picked Reyes or Kelly Johnson as SHaM MVP candidates.

No, wait a second. LWFS nailed it.

Well, I was happily wrong! (About the 36-38 anyway.)

Cabrera has to be in consideration for ShaMVP.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Yeah, I'm afraid to go look for what 'sooth I sayed' on Cabrera in spring.

We have a winner! Though nobody picked Cabrera as the SHaMVP, because it would have been about the dumbest pick possible. Except maybe for...

I think Grandy could be the SHaMVP
