Predict the Mets '15

bmfc1 Mar 29 2015 11:21 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 05 2015 10:55 AM

Just the Mets, just the Mets. Step right up and predict the Mets: 1--Mets record for 2015 2--Where the Mets will finish in the NL East 3--Whether the Mets will make the playoffs and if so, how far they will go. To encourage more participation, I'm posting this a week earlier than last year. As always, don't be a J.J. Putz and write "162-0."

78-84 3rd place. No play-offs.

Benjamin Grimm Mar 29 2015 11:58 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

Didn't we do this already? 84 wins. 2nd place. No playoffs.

dinosaur jesus Mar 30 2015 12:11 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

91. 2nd. Lose in the second round.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 30 2015 12:29 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

I'm not JJ Putz but I'm constitutionally unable in March to write down anything but my brightest scenario no matter how flawed the team. 102-60, 1st place, all the way!!! (92-70 is more like it, but they also go all the way in that scenario too)

Edgy MD Mar 30 2015 01:57 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

105-57 Parade.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 30 2015 04:50 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

88-74 2nd Not quite. But, hey, meaningful October games!

Nymr83 Mar 30 2015 06:06 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

87 wins, 2nd in the division and the 2nd wild card spot. they lose the 1 game playoff to San Francisco.

bmfc1 Mar 30 2015 10:47 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

81-81, 3d place. No playoffs.

Gwreck Mar 30 2015 11:50 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

83-79, 3rd place, no playoffs (narrowly miss the second wildcard)

86-Dreamer Mar 30 2015 12:40 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

89-73, 2d place, winner of wild care game, divisional round loser

MFS62 Mar 30 2015 01:31 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

88-74 Second Make the playoffs. Win it all. Later

themetfairy Mar 30 2015 01:42 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

84-78. Just good enough to make the playoffs. Not yet good enough to win the World Series.

Ceetar Mar 30 2015 01:47 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

90-72. 1st place. I'd put in the sick day for 10/29 now if I were you. See you in downtown Manhattan.

G-Fafif Mar 30 2015 01:58 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

84-78 (can imagine anywhere between 78 and 94) 2nd Place (strong ST has elevated them above MIA in my mind) But no playoffs

sharpie Mar 30 2015 02:27 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

86-76 2nd place, 2nd wild card Win play-in game, lose next round

82-80. No playoffs. Outside of starting pitching, this team has no depth. Better luck next year.

TransMonk Mar 30 2015 07:09 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

I will say that, while I'm sticking with my 84 win prediction, the Mets offense has been very impressive this spring. Spring stats don't mean much to me, but if the guys can bring the bats north and be as consistent as they have been over the past three weeks for long stretches of this season...then the sky is the limit.

Vic Sage Mar 30 2015 09:13 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

85-77 3rd place no playoffs (late run for the 2nd WC comes up short)

Ashie62 Apr 01 2015 01:57 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

94-68 1st place makes world series.

Zvon Apr 01 2015 04:35 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

I'll go w/ JCL's under 92-70 All the way.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 01 2015 12:58 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

91-71 Second place Playoffs!

HahnSolo Apr 01 2015 02:11 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

83-79 Second No playoffs

Well... 88 wins, no playoffs.

metsmarathon Apr 02 2015 01:53 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

90-72 2nd place lose nlds

batmagadanleadoff Apr 06 2015 10:42 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

This is the first time in the Citi Field era that I'd say the Mets have a shot at the playoffs. Still, too much has to break their way. 84-78.

This thread is probably worth bumping right about now.

There's no egg. I expected this to be a disappointing season with good pitching and very little else. After the events of the last 2+ weeks, I feel like I'm playing with house money, and am just enjoying the ride.

G-Fafif Oct 05 2015 05:58 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

Congratulations Ceetar nailing the 90-72 record and the first-place finish. The prediction will be perfect if he's chilling on Lower Broadway a few weeks hence. metsmarathon also called 90-72, but said it would be good for a second-place finish (and an NLDS loss).

I gotta say, I love his longer works, but sometimes all you need from Greg is one line.

Farmer Ted Oct 05 2015 06:52 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

I somehow didn't get in this poll (prolly because I HAT all of you!). In any case, my best case scenario was 81-81. 2016 was going to be the "Harvey and Parnell are all better now" year. Little did I know Sandy had the keys to a spare stack of cash. But I NEVER doubted Terry. Good golly I love Terry. Lubba wubba.

Ashie62 Oct 05 2015 09:38 PM Re: Predict the Mets '15

Well done Ceetar!!! Kinda swept in by the last week lol. LETS GO METS!

Lefty Specialist Oct 06 2015 01:09 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

My certainty about the 82-80 record was based on 3 things: 1) Good pitching. 2) Inept hitting. 3) An unwillingness by the Wilpons/Sandy to go for it at the trade deadline. 1) was true all year 2) was true until about July 25th 3) totally surprised me when they did. Had this team remained on the same trajectory as they had been for the first 3 3/4 months of the season, they'd have limped along to the end as a barely .500 team with occasional flashes of brilliance. That they actually made moves to change that trajectory (and that the moves actually worked) is the real story of this season.

Zvon Oct 06 2015 03:18 AM Re: Predict the Mets '15

Gratz Ceetar! Predictions on the post season please... I think Edgy's optimism deserves something. This is more than likely the closest I've ever come to winning this thing.
