S9 SEASON WIN PREDICTIONS

..... 107 ..... "S9 World Series Champs."

..... 98 ..... "That's been our win total the past two seasons, so third time's a
..........................charm. We will "run" over the competition to another AL WEST title."

..... 96 ..... "I think that season will go well have a balanced pitching staff and
..........................great bullpen. I will win a lot of low scoring games."

..... 95 ..... "Pawtuckets total facelift was done purposely to bring upgraded
..........................hitting as well as great defense! Our pitching will be competitive with
..........................anyone in Shoeless Joe and I guarantee an ALCS appearance!"

..... 93 ..... "I expect Billy Lamb to rebound this year from a sub-par S8 and I
..........................expect my starting pitching to be Top-3 in the NL. The question marks
..........................are my bullpen (Will [now injured] Johnny Smart start to show his
..........................age?), my offense (Will the addition of Leon Ray and Paul O'Donnell be
..........................enough?"

..... 92 ..... "Time to turn off the Lights."

..... 91 ..... "The Mountain Dwellers goal for S9 is to become the first 3 peat
..........................Champions of SJ. It will not be easy as many of the teams have
..........................improved since last season."

..... 90 ..... "I have a lot of new parts mixing in with key elements from the past
..........................few seasons. If they meld together well and everyone plays up to
..........................expectations, Little Rock will have a great season...if LR isnt in the
..........................playoffs this season it will be a major let down and very
..........................disapointing…

..... 88 ..... "It's time for the prospects in the system to step up and take this team
..........................to the next level."

..... 88 ..... "I hope to get a bit closer to the two behemouths in my division."

..... 88 ..... "Which I had thought was going to be good enough to keep me in the
..........................playoff race, but since you have me 3rd in my division I don't know."

..... 87 ..... "Stronger bench and better bullpen should get me 4 more wins and a
..........................spot in the playoffs."

..... 87 ..... "The pitching doesn't have to carry the offense as much now, but the
..........................question still remains: How far can the pitching carry this team?"

..... 87 ..... "May be expecting too much, but hoping to continue improvement in
..........................wins each year."

..... 87 ..... "There will not be a 6-14 start this season, and I see another battle
..........................royal in the AL North, with the Jokers winning the division title."

..... 86 ..... "The hope is that twelve new faces on the ML squad will propel this
..........................team into the division title."

..... 86 ..... "I think my team has gotten a little better, but just can't give myself 90
..........................wins. So for us, it'll be 'Do or Die'."

..... 85 ..... "Milwaukee will continue its mission this year of keeping payroll low,
..........................and adding as many assets to our system as possible while still being
..........................competitive in the AL North."

..... 85 ..... "I expect to rise from the cellar in the always tough AL West and push
..........................for a playoff spot."

..... 85 ..... "If our hitting can produce a few runs every game our pitching should
..........................be able to dominate and keep the other team within 2 or 3 runs every
..........................game."

..... 84 ..... "The team will continue to improve, but may not result in more
..........................victories, unless Prieto, Martin, and the bullpen have best case
..........................seasons."

..... 79 ..... "It will take a while to find a pitching staff, but there will be one
..........................or two breakout performances from position players to save the
..........................season from being a total embarrasment."

..... 77 ..... "With the teams in my division, it's going to be tough this season."

..... 75 ..... "We couldn't have agreed more with the season outlook predictions
..........................that we are light in the P department. We have not been shy about
..........................disclosing that we are in need of improvement in that area and simply
..........................hope to continue our progress here in LA."

..... 75 ..... "S9 will go as my hitters go, can't have guys like Sullivan bat .238. if
..........................my avgs go up, i can exceed expectations."

..... 72 ..... "My team is young but the moves made in the off season will enable
..........................them to learn to win and put them in position to possibly make a run
..........................at the south this year and definitely win it next season."

..... 72 ..... "Lack of thunder leaves Skies with cloudy season .."

..... 72 ..... "Most of our wins will come after all star break when someone decides
..........................they are out of playoff race and start looking at rebuilding."

..... 68 ..... "Ya know that steam that comes off a fresh pile of dog crap, well this
..........................season will be the fly that bathes in the steam of a fresh pile of dog
..........................crap. I will annoy other teams but we will stink something awful."

..... 66 ..... "Accomplishment - to not go over the prospect cap."

..... 55 ..... "The GM (Reigny) has decided to attend Malibu Addiction Center and
..........................try to give up the cocaine, bourbon, and model glue sniffing in one
..........................shot.... until he completes his mandatory...(OOPS) court ordered
..........................stay...all moves and roster functions will be assigned to his 7 month
..........................old son....."
