100 wins possible?

gonna be really hard. i figure we'll see a four game losing streak as soon as this current winning streak ends to get things back in line. that's the way they've been going and i don't see why that would change now.

117-45 would look pretty good.

That number looks crazy gaudy, but then I remember the 2001 Mariners were only one win shy of that... geez, that team was dominant! But even that team lost to the Yankees, so I'll take an inferior record and a hot team headed into the postseason any day over 100+ wins and an early playoff exit. Had plenty of those during the streak, anyway.
 
So we have to go 32-17?

Yeah its very possible, but I doubt it bc once we clinch the division, doubt we will win enough to get 100.

Our toughest road trip left is at St Louis in a few weeks.

That said, I'm sure we'll have a 4-6/3-7 skid at some point.

The Cards are the best team in the NL. They have a 149 +run differential. They have all the pieces to be a successful playoff team.

Dodgers are better.

Much better rotation, pens are close.

Cards lineup is better however.

What rotation do you take in a playoff series.

Greinke, Kershaw, Ryu, Nolasco or Waino, Miller, Lynn, Westbrook.

Nice stats though.

The thing is though that the Dodgers have improved their rotation as the year has moved on. So the aggregate numbers of the year don't really capture what they are now. Sure, its close but itt doesn't account for everything.
 
I keep hoping that the Pirates keep on rolling, and the Cardinals have to fight just to make it in.

...and if they get screwed over in the Wild Card game, well, I wouldn't exactly be shedding any tears. :icon_biggrin:

So yeah, it's the Dodgers I'm more worried about. They have plenty of time to cool down and slump, but then again, so do the Braves.

I had 95 wins (the most of anyone) in the pool at my barber shop before the season started. I am feeling good about it now.
 
One thing that is pretty cool is that we won the season series with the Pirates and Dodgers. Pretty good chance we win the season series against the Cardinals as long as we win 1 out of the last 4. I think if the teams are tied its a head to head record for home field.
 
Not really sure where to put this but this is from a fangraphs chat today:

Alex Wood drawing Chris Sale comps… Fair?

Jeff Sullivan: Not unfair
 
Subtracting the 30 would still leave them with the best run differential.

You know what? Screw it, I do want 100 wins. I'm not saying we should start Teheran on three days rest to make it happen, but while we've been a good team the last few years we haven't really been an elite sort of team since...gosh, 2004? 2003?

So, yeah, gimme 100. We're going to re-gain our position atop the division, we might has well rewind the clock to the 90's as much as possible.

I'd say 2003 was our last truly elite team. The 2004 team was great, and the 2nd best team in the league, but I consider 100 wins the bench mark for being an elite team.
