2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .

[RedsBaron]

86-76
I can't bring myself to predict a losing season for the Reds at this time of year. IIRC this makes at least the ninth straight year I've predicted a non-losing record for the Reds; some year I am going to be right!

85 wins

There seems to be a huge potential range of results for the team this year. Anywhere from 60 to 100 wins could be argued. The high end is if the Reds start well, get good fan support, management is willing to pick up some salary at the break. Strong finish.
The low end involves a slow start, Rolen gets hurt, team gets very young, Harang and Arroyo struggle or get hurt, rest of starters mediocre. Team dumps salary at the deadline by trading Phillips (replacing with Frazier) to be able to move one of the higher cost pitchers. Limp home.

I will settle on 87-75.

86 wins and a very exciting year for reds fans!

[Johnny Footstool]

I'm gonna go for it -- 92 wins and the Central crown.

[Edskin]

Can I change my answer to 12??

[Reds Nd2]

If it isn't too late to get a prediction in, I'll go with 78 wins.

If I can add, divide, and keystroke correctly, this is what I have for the averages for the 2010 predictions thread. (If someone wants to double check the math, let me know what you come up with.) Given that we at Redszone tend to be a bit too optimistic as a group, flirting with a .500 finish is a pretty good bet.

Thanks to the 139 ORG participants, and the 28 Sundeck participants.

Go Reds!

Bump just for fun.

The Reds are nearly passing a few people's predictions already. I predicted 81 and, hopefully, they shoot past that fairly easily too.

Enjoy!!

72-90

Let's hope they pass this awesome prediction in LA or (at least) San fran.

[Razor Shines]

I'm gonna go for it -- 92 wins and the Central crown.

Check out Johnny. Looks prettty, pretttttty, pretty good.

[Tommyjohn25]

I'll keep saying 81 until they do it.

Wait. Do they have to go exactly 81-81 for you to stop saying that? STOP SAYING THAT NATE!!!!!
