I honestly don't recall anyone who insisted this team would contend, like N&G said of course the possibility of contending was discussed but to me that is normal spring training talk. I think most people were of the opinion that this team could at least win more games than the 2011 club which isn't out of the realm of possibility yet. This isn't a good team but I don't think they will continue that monstrous 4-20 losing pace that they had set prior to today's game. If they simply play .500 ball the rest of the season, that would put them at last season's record of 71-91. Not saying I expect THAT to happen but I still don't believe 100 losses is inevitable to happen this season. And if it does happen, so what? Whether this team loses 90 games or 100 games, there is much work to do on the roster either way.
