I say 85,its a tough division.

If the Indians play .500 ball from here on out, they will finish with 90 wins!

Wow. Pretty darned good. And NO ONE would have expected that without our best offensive player.

I predicted 150 wins, and if Loufla was managing instead of Toto we'd be on track.

You must think my managing skills are better than my predictive ones, I predicted 85 wins before the season started because I thought our division was so tough, we have actually killed in our division, go figure. But I like your 'tude

Well. If they don't win another game, Gaylord and I hit it right on the button.

That would mean we lose home field advantage.

Fact. And I'll be glad to share with Gaylord the closest to the bullseye.

But I gotta wonder if Tito is more worried about home field advantage.......or getting his rotation and bullpen set for the playoffs.

And after seeing the pic of kipnis laying on the hallway floor of the hotel room at 4AM.....I'd be surprised if the team is playing at 100% today.

Our first playoff game will probably be Thursday October 6. About 10 days for Kluber to take off if needed. Three days off from Sunday's last game.

So keep playing hard and stay sharp? And maybe get home field for a potential game 7 in the first 2 rounds?

Or chill, enjoy the last week without pressure, and get mentally ready for the playoffs?

The days off will help some. Lindor isn't used to playing all these games and he's been hitting like he's tired of late. Really struggling and no pop at all. I'd give him two games off now.

I win Wow!

OK, who picked 94 wins?
Anybody?
Bueller?

I hope you didn't bet any money on those predictions, JOE!

As usual, kenm nails it!

Well, I was wrong, but I said, "Barring injury to our pitching staff." So of course that made the difference
