Never tried one of these poll thingies before, but....

I'll take B please.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 18 2005 01:25 PM

Was tempted to vote B but voted C instead.

CC OE: --- Strangely, I wasn't allowed to post just the letter C.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 18 2005 01:35 PM

C

Benjamin Grimm Jul 18 2005 01:36 PM

I couldn't either. But when I typed a space before the C it allowed me to save. And it stripped the leading space.

It doesn't allow you to post any single letter. I tried to type B (tho' I voted C). This is, of course, outrageous as one-letter posts are vital.

Wait, does this mean we can't avi?

There's a big gap of what could happen between A and B. I abstain, courteously.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 18 2005 03:13 PM

I have no idea. I don't think we're going anywhere in the standings without adding something; but even if we don't add a thing I think a collapse is even less likely. I'd like to see some creativity at the deadline; perhaps moving Looper and Glavine for guys who help next year, but I'm not predicting that. I also abstain courteously.

seawolf17 Jul 18 2005 03:18 PM

I'll say B... I'm still figuring Carlos will get hot, and they'll make a little run, but nothing substantial; and there are just too many obstacles between them and a playoff run this year.

I've said it before I'll say it again - .500

Frayed Knot Jul 18 2005 07:52 PM

Gut Check Yeah, I've got a bit of one. What of it?

bump

Benjamin Grimm Oct 02 2005 09:13 AM

I guess the correct answer turned out to be a combination of C and D. The Mets started September with a 4-13 stretch. Had they merely gone 8-9 over those 17 games they'd still be very much alive.
