Reading Neil T’s post, isn’t he saying the Astros will have negative 90 wins this season?

97 I should check in earlier

  1. I like to aim low so I won’t be disappointed.

You know what – since we started late this year, I will grant everyone the negative version of their guess for this year. So NeilT gets 90 AND -90.

Now that’s some Solomon-level wisdom right there.

Getting rejected by the three-character minimum and having to edit our posts is another wonderful piece of RFTL tradition. Neil’s solution is the funniest, intentionally or not

It was accidental, I was trying to reacht the three characters, but when I saw it I thought that it was pretty good.

What’s the mean of these picks?

The mean was 87 and some change, the median was right about there too.

How about the standard deviation?

Also, how about win a game every now and then? Just to mix things up.

6.66

Can I still choose 73 wins?
