Invalid poll is invalid because...

 

A. There's no rally monkey option.

 

B. It won't allow me to predict 75 wins.

 

Scrap it and start over.

88 wins. A weak division gets them into the playoffs, but I think they get they're butts kicked whichever first round they wind up in. Still the playoffs are a step in the right direction.

 

Btw, I assume no one will ever dredge up these numbers in mid September? :)

No, we wait until the end of the season for that.

96 wins this year for the Twins!

 

Just like everyone was too optimistic last year (me included), I think this year people are too down on the team. There finally seems to be some chemistry and team unity I haven't seen for a long time now. Pitching might be a little weak but some of this takes a little luck too.

 

Go big or go home.

twinsporto for the win!

No, but we will in late September, Platoon (aka “84ish”)

I wish someone had dredged up these numbers in Sept. Early Sept. that is. . Well, makes no difference. I was mis-quoted, if I actually gave an estimate. But I don't think i did. But if there was one, it was likely someone using my stolen password and ID. Maybe you had me confused with 'Spitoon'? All I know is I was positive the Twins would exceed 100 wins. I just wish I had remembered to post that week!

See! "Ish. Makes the prediction which I know I did not make, much more accurate! Although I will conced that if I had actually said "84ish", I should have spelled it "84iiiissssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

 

91. On pace for 87 and then get MadBum at the deadline and go on a roll. Besides, I like to use the numbers '87 and '91 any chance I get when talking about the Twins. 

 

 

Well, I was closer than most of you!

 

Since I was under by about 10 percent, I'll predict 10 post-season wins and hope they get 11. 

 

twinsporto for the win!

I think I win a pair of Twins seasons tickets for next year correct?

I was in Vegas this time last year and my plan was to put $50 on the Twins to win the World Series this year but then got lazy and it was a whole fifteen minute walk to the sports bettor so I stayed poolside instead. #regrets, I think the odds were like 30 to 1 or something.

 

Full disclosure, I was going to put $50 on the Vikings to win the Super Bowl too. I am not a sage.

I'm glad this thread got pulled back up. Hilarious reading some of the pre-season predictions. As they say, "hindsight is 20/20."

162.

You were closer than most.

When do i get to find out what i voted for?

Actually you can. Write down the vote totals, then click “delete my vote.” See which one goes down one....

Well...

 

Technically um, no. At least if we are limiting it to this season*.

 

I think only those that had 42 wins or fewer were further off.

 

But you were right in principle, which goes a long way!

 

 

* different question: how many games does it take to win 162. Do we make it by the trade deadline next summer?

Viewing it on a desk top, there's a little view link by the percent, and it pops up who voted.

 

Not sure if that just changed because i'm not lookin' at it from a mobile device, or because someone changed the settings on the poll to make it viewable between then and now, but...

 

"Who voted for: More than 95

twins1095, sampleSizeOfOne, twinssporto, lecroy24fan"

 

But i give credit to ashbury for the antijinx earlier in this thread that made it all possible.

136 made predictions. 65 preseason posts. 14 post season comments. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Vote early. Vote often.

Is it cool to vote now? I feel that after several months of deep thought I have a pretty good idea on how many games they're going to win. I feel confident they will break the century mark.

You must have missed it, AlwaysInModeration is down for 95+ too. Easy mistake.

I did. My humblest apologies.

Maybe not on the cellphone/mobile version, but in the full version there should be a little bitty light-blue dot next to the choice you voted for.

Anti-whozit-lolwhut? ... I mean, yes, that's totally what I was doing.

I’m just glad there is no time stamp on voting.
