I say no. Don't trust the bullpen and the gloves.

How and why am I wrong? Discuss.

Put in replys yes or no. We finally naming names on something. :lol:

Are you yes guys expecting Peavy to play a meaningful season?

Over 85. They will be around or above 90.

Kind of.

I think he'll be good but get hurt at some point.

I expect Peavy to last for two months. May and June and back to the 60 day DL. :(
He will not be ready for Opening Day.

I think they win between 87-91 games.

Don't know why. Endless optimism maybe.

The biggest weaknesses of last year's team was the lack of DH.

Last year's team won 88 games.

They have incredibly upgraded the DH between Dunn and Konerko.

Yet they will win fewer games?

I'm not buying it, and you shouldn't be selling it.

No.

Under .500

They'll easily win more than 85 games.

I'm not sure what to think about Peavy. I didn't really expect him to play at all this season, but he seems on track to start before June.

I can see them winning 86-90 games with Peavy, but from what I understand you're still counting on Sweaty Freddy to get you a bunch of wins he had last year and I am not sold on that. Plus, Peavy gone, and I don't expect Sale to continue at last years ridiculous pace.
If Peavy starts 20+ games, which I really doubt, maybe I'd take the over, but for this year, and because I like to talk shit, I'll take the under with the stipulation that I'd take 85 games if 85.5 was the o/u

You shouldn't be. Besides, Freddy is stoneroses86's problem now.

They had an incredible run before the All-Star break. That was unthinkable, but yes it did happen. They will not make a run like that this year and be an average team.

Add donspiracy to the White Sox haters list.

I'm going to rub it in your face when you are proven wrong.

People better get to the window, or call their guy!

And I didn't look it up when setting the number.

I would think 85 is setting the bar low for a team that is "All in?"

Yes I think they will. I would say they will be at 87-88 wins.

I'll be disappointed if the team doesn't win 90 games.

They could still win the division.

Looking at the scehdule...
4/18-4/28 road trip
4 @ Rays
3 @ Tigers
4 @ Yankees

5/6-5/15 west coast trip
3 games each at M's, Angels, and A's.

The Sox will win 8 of those 20 games. Digging a hole only a 25-5 run can overcome. Not again this year Sox fans. :(

90+

It's a lock. What's the bet, here? Nothing sexual.

Ok, a little sexual...
