Just realized that I have overlaps in this poll. Should have been 61-70, 71-80, 81-90,91-100

I say 80 wins in 2011. The last season out of contention in the next 6/7 yrs...

They'll never be out of contention again. Starting next year.

We just need to repeat that line every spring, right?

Looks like we have one optimist!

I thought it might be a trick question so I included Spring Training wins....

That quote feature is nice. Could come in handy when replying to a post when there are several others intervening.

Just for the record, that 100+ prediction is mine

We're now 11-4 on April 17.

For those of us who tossed 90+ up for fun, 79-68 from here out will get us to 90.

.537 ball.

That's the advantage of a fast start we never had in the Wedge-Shapiro years.

Don - you are a deranged man.

I like it!

Better hope this team has some of the strong finishes that the Wedge-Shapiro years had.

Point taken. But it would have been nice to have had the strong finish continue into the last week of September of 2005 with the playoffs on the line.

That team choked, not the management.

80-90 would be good and at this point possible.

90 games give or take 2 or 3 games. I don't know if that will be enough to win the Central but the Tribe will play meaningful baseball in September.
