    4 misses in the NBA playoffs is pretty brutal. I've missed two (Houston and Chicago). You also picked GS to lose in 5, which was stupid to anyone who had watched either team.

    Your predictions have sucked. Saying they haven't is like Kim saying he's not bad at recruiting predictions because he predicted a 2 star with no other PAC 12 offers to go to UW.

    Mariners are a 85 win team without major injuries, and a 90 win team if they start getting above replacement-level production from the lineup; run differential says they aren't a sub-.500 team.

    They will be after June. HTH

    I really don't trust them. 2011 they were above .500 in late June even and ended up losing 95.

    In 2007 they were one back of the wild card in late August then lost like 18 of their next 20. This franchise has taken a giant shit on us for over a decade. I'm not letting myself get sucked in.

    Tequilla you've always been good at owning your stupidity don't backtrack and start twisting on your mariners comments.

    How am I twisting when I used the same quote that you posted?

    I've only said that the Mariners COULD ... I've never said WOULD.

    If I was betting, I'd say that they continue to hover around .500 for most of the season and depending on how injuries and whatnot play out end up somewhere between 75-85 wins.

    I don't think that they'll win 85-90. But to get there only would take a good 2 week stretch and playing .500 ball the rest of the way. When you have a rotation fronted by Felix and Iwakuma, it's possible that they could pull that off.

    The Mariners are terrible and the season is over. It's always been over. The line up is terrible. The M's have fans that always amuse me. They think this Jones guy can be a really good CF. The guy will be hitting .200 in a month.

    You're actually going to do this? Let me guess you never said the Pacers would win either you just said they COULD right?

    Even though you explained in details and said they wouldn't be out of it until September you are now backing off that?

    W.JW.

    Stand by the Indiana comment. I've said it all year. Wouldn't back track on the prediction. Drew the line in that sand very early on.

    The reason that I'm saying that the Mariners won't be out of it until September is because the AL is a medicore dreckfest. Hanging around .500 means you are hanging around the race. I do think that they'll go into September no worse than 3-5 games under .500.

    They are a .500 team. That's going to keep you in the race in the AL this year.

    I like his speed, and his defense. If he can hit 250 I'm fine with it. With all the infield hits he gets he can be a .200 hitter and still hit .260.
    I get what you mean though. If they can get the rotation healthy I see a 80-83 win team, but until then they're probably a 76-78 win team, which should lead to a firing of jack z (but it won't)
