BUCS!!! We ain't losing 100. They did it in grand fashion to. Away from home and 9th inning magic.

5 in a row. We may win out. :lol:

How about extending it to 90 losses or such Wildwood?

No problem Possum. Th bucs must get to 73 wins 73+89=162
They have 63. So we will now make the magic number 10

What is surprising is that no one picked 73 wins on the Projection thread

This magic number is iffy. Not sure we can get there.

On another message board at the end of April I posted we would not lose 100 this season. Most said BUCS will blow it and lose 100. I enjoyed telling all the naysayers I was right. Not going to say we will not lose 90.

25 to go and we have to try to squeeze out 10 wins. Going to be rough with schedule. Brewers, Braves, Phillies, Yankees and Cubs. All very capable of sweeping us. Maybe take 3 of 4 from a bad Nats team? Marlins and Reds maybe could be playing for something? I think except for Brewers we on road against the better teams.

Sorry but with that schedule only 90 losses will be very tough.

The 4-2 win over the Brewers places makes the magic number 9 for 89 losses
