    Should be a public poll.

    PECOTA says 74, so rather than pull a number out of thin air, I'll go with that. Under 82 at any rate.

    Man that is what I call parity. No clear favorite prediction, but how can you pick a random number between 1 and 162 without really knowing what we have yet?

    If our guys play to their potential, I still have no idea what that says about the success of our team. I can't vote!

    I wouldn't say they will suck but I do agree they aren't very good. With all pieces together they can win a lot of ball games but far from making it to the World Series again.

    i said 85/86...the Astros lineup "should be putting up some major runs this year...on paper, they should be dominating opposing picthers...

    i don't think it'll be enough to win the Central with the Cards pitching the way it is...

    24 people voted either the same or less wins as you so you are kinda open to crap if you make off-statements like that.

    66-96 bullpin is worse then last year, so is the defense
    the worst part of this Season is Oswalt will probaly have an ERA over 4
    but it is not hopless next year if we get 2 new starters and two new relief
    pichers we could win 90 games

    under 70 is my vote at this stage. Not willing to change it without a major trade for a quality starting pitcher or unless I see a 3 week run of solid pitching from our starters.

    Seriously, why are you so infatuated with your predictions of the future? Is there a prize awarded later? Try commenting on what happens on the field, maybe?

    There isn't much happening on the field.

    Not much good, anyway.
