2010 - Gonelong's 9th annual Season Ws prediction thread .
Ok, time for Gonelong's 9th annual Reds Win prediction thread. As always, the request is pretty simple.
1. Give a number of Ws you project. 2. Make the prediction as honestly as you can. It's a prediction, not a hope. 3. Feel free to wait for opening day to make your prediction. When I return from opening day I'll compute the average guestimate. (One again, my brother was able to wrangle me a ticket. Thanks bro!) Hopefully the Sundeck will once again organize a thread and take up a friendly challenge from the ORG. Last year the Sundeck really put the pressure on, though the ORG ended up ever so slightly closer to the final number of Ws. My prediction for the Reds is that they will win 81 games ... oh so tantalizing close to .500. It has been some time since I felt the Reds had a decent chance to materially out-pace my prediction, but I feel like this is one of those years. Hopefully they will get out of the gate quickly and gain some momentum. Go Reds! GL Code:
