2009 - Gonelong's 8th annual Season Ws prediction thread .. - RedsZone.com - Cincinnati Reds Fans' Home for Baseball Discussion

Ok, time for Gonelong's 8th annual Reds Win prediction thread.

1. Give a number of Ws you project.
2. Make the prediction as honestly as you can. It's a prediction, not a hope.

Once I return from the game I'll compute the average.

Hopefully the Sundeck will organize a thread and take up a friendly challenge from the ORG group. Last year ORG was a bit closer that the Sundeck.

My prediction for the Reds is that they will win 78 games.

Go Reds!

GL

Average of ~7 wins too optimistic as a group.

I said 76 last year and was "optimistic" by two wins.

I'm upping the ante this year: 80 wins.
