What seems like two season's ago the good readers of Twins Daily were asked to make the following predictions going into this fine season:

 

Twin's Record
Playoff Position/Results
Offensive POY
Most HR
SP of the Year
Reliever of the Year
Rookie of the Year

 

Seems like a good time to revisit how we all did...and who we have to root for to do better in hopes of confirming what we all know already...that we are fantastic prognosticators when it comes to the great game of baseball and our local nine

 

Pessimism? Not at the start of the year

 

Who ever said TD readers and writers are pessimistic must not have been around at the start of the year as pollsters predicted a banner year:

 

Twin's Record: 91-71

 

Playoff Chances: 27 of 30 had the Twins in the playoffs (Parker & Jeremy had them missing the playoffs, Dante just didn't answer that part so take that how you will  

 

Offensive Player of the Year: Dozier, Sano, Buxton top three vote getters, I'd say we got that one right

Most HR: Sano...thank goodness there's still time
SP of the Year: Berrios
Reliever of the Year: Reed...at least he didn't get traded...yet
Rookie of the Year: Garver...if only he got to play more

 

Here's a Summary of the predictions:

Rub.It.In.

This is why I try not to make predictions anymore. We can all make educated guesses, but guessing what's going to happen in the future is a total crapshoot, even based off past data.

Every time I predict they'll be good, they end up being bad and vice versa. Whoops.

I must have really been drinking from my Twins Souvenir Mug as only Dante and me had the Twins at 100-62

 

Which cleans up the only peeps to predict no playoffs for the Twins...Parker and Jeremy

I guess one out of seven ain't bad...

 

Every time I predict they'll be good, they end up being bad and vice versa. Whoops.

so for future reference... just predict 50 wins every year...

This is just plain cruel

Only 35-4 the rest of the way to reach my prediction.  Who's with me?

I was equally optimistic until loss number 63 occurred and my dream prediction died

I avoided this thread back in the day because I thought you all were on crack.
