Realistically it'll probably be at least 150, but cobs will cobs their way to about 99 and take about 5 tries to win the WS.

Wait, I did just regular season. Add 11 more.

93-95 is the range I keep coming back to for no particular reason at all. Still awesome, but baseball is a fickle beast with injuries and regressions and unfulfilled promise and whatnot.

if you could take this year's roster and couple it with last year's positive variance, we break the wins record

[Cubswin11]

122, we break the game

[CubInOK]

173.

 

But seriously, 100 in the regular season.

I was just talking about this with a buddy of mine. I told him 103-59, so I'll stick with that. I don't see a weakness with this roster. The Cardinals and Pirates had such unimpressive offseasons and just seem sorta "meh" to me now. Combine that with a lot of truly terrible teams in the NL, and there are a whole bunch of relatively easy regular season wins out there. The Mets still very much worry me come playoff time, but who cares about that right now.

58% of us didn't think we would win over 100 games?

lol how cute. i thought we needed positive variance.

[Cubswin11]

I was one of the brave enough ones of the 11%

I like the way you think.

 

Sometimes.
