All the teams reached the 54 game mark this past weekend. Not only is that the official 1/3 mark but it's also the first good time to start projecting full season stats.

Never mind.

Edgy DC Jun 05 2006 08:46 PM

I was quizzical also. They're 162-game projections, for the next quizzical poster to stumble into this thread.

Yeah I should really read the posts before responding.

That projection of Adam Dunn puts him near Jim Thome territory. Fun stuff. Later

Willets Point Jul 05 2006 02:05 PM

We're at the halfway point, so I'm bumping this for when Frayed Knot is ready.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2006 02:43 PM

The remaining teams should hit their 81-game mark tonight.

Man, the NL sucks this year.

Willets Point Jul 06 2006 10:52 AM

- 22. :)

Frayed Knot Jul 06 2006 11:02 AM

Check out the fact that the ChiSox are projected to nab the Wild Card ... with 106 wins!!! That likely won't happen as the Central-vs-Central contests were where the AL really gained their edge during the Inter-League period. Now that they'll have to play each other more often over the next 3 months some more losses will get tossed in there ... although it still could take an upper-90s win total to get the WC in the AL this year while the West winner sneaks in with 80-something. The NL WC, on the other hand, prolly won't require even 90 wins.

Willets Point Jul 06 2006 11:12 AM

The Fickle Finger of Fate will see to it that the NL wins the All-Star Game and the World Series.

TheOldMole Jul 06 2006 01:35 PM

How will the Braves finish ahead of the Marlins with 4 fewer wins? I knew they were evil.
