2010/11 Phillies Offseason Thread

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

No one said this was only the regular season. I like SunMo's chances.

[SunMo]

hold on, you said $20 they win 100


so I get 100 and over, correct?

[ice grillin you]

correct

[PhillyPhreak54]

Money in Sunny's account.

What else you wanna lose on, Havas?

[BigEd76]

Not saying it can't be done but 100+ is tough because even if each starter wins 15 games, you would still need 25 more from the bullpen, and if Lidge has more than 5 decisions, they're in trouble.  The only way they're breaking 100 is if two guys win 20+, the other three win 15-17 each, and in close games, the bullpen holds on long enough for the offense to do their thing.  The Seattle team that won 116 got 86 wins from starters, including 20 from Moyer.  The 98 Yanks that won 114 only had 79 wins from starters.  The thing about both of those teams is that their 8th inning guys had 8-10 wins because their offenses found ways to rally.  If the Phils do it, I think it's only gonna be in the 101-103 range...

the question is what minor, inconsequential event propelled him to start the hate train up again.

i say ciff lee's minor, possibly not even existent soreness.

[ice grillin you]

normally i make stupid bets that i know im gonna lose but i think 100 wins for the phils is about as close as you can get to a perfectly even bet this year

not sure how thinking they might not get to 100 is even close to hating...even homertastic easy is being level headed...congrats for passing him and being right on j's heels for biggest homer ever

[Eagles_Legendz]

Vegas o/u on Phils win total most places is set at 97.

Baseball Prospectus has them at 91, though they normally tend to avoid extreme win and loss totals in their preseason forecasts.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Again, if you're including the postseason, you have to really like the odds for them getting 100.

[phattymatty]

there is no chance anyone is including postseason in the total dummy.

[ice grillin you]

yeah either ff took his retard pills today or its now an 0-2 count on that joke

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

ff took his retard pills today

I stopped taking them for a while. It oddly coincided with a hiatus from .

[Rome]

they won 97 last year without lee and with the entire offense having an off year.

they might win 110.

get him, sunny.

[Don Ho]

Exactly.  97 wins with most of the lineup spending time in the MASH unit and sucking shtein when healthy was very impressive.  100+ or bust, do it Sunny.
