PECOTA has Rays at 89 wins

[GatewaySnayke]

I'm still not sure I can get used to a world where the Rays are good. It seems weird that they aren't the doormats of the league anymore.

If the Rays win 89 games, I will wash everyone in this thread's car, every week, for a year. I'm tempted to bring it down to 80.

80 they'll probably reach, but I don't see 89. I hope I'm wrong, because that means the Yankees probably didn't make the post season, and I hate them.

I hope you're wrong, because my car reeeeeeally needs washing.

If you guys don't mind driving your cars from St.Louis to Brooklyn, NY every week, then we're still on.

Going in a different direction here, PECOTA has been updated, and has the Rays winning 89 games in 2008.

greenback mentioned this in the brawl thread, I thought I would lift it and start another thread. It's pretty big news, a team just mired in low attendance and fan apathy following a steady plan, making good draft picks and building one of the best young teams I can remember in a long, long time.

"Steady" is right - it took them 11 years of total futility to reach this point (this is a team that's never won more than 70 games in a season, and has only finished out of last place once in 11 seasons).

I doubt whether our fans would wait that long; we can't even wait 11 days.

They don't have any fans(yet) so they didn't have to worry about the waiting.
