espn/mlb execs orioles poor offseason

Was the wager on wins and losses for the year? If so, you would have been a woeful loser with your horribly inaccurate prediction of 65 wins. My prediction, as you may have heard, was the most accurate of all the predictions.

In any case, I wouldn't want anyone to leave the board, even those who have difficulty with predictions. You can benefit from the board and that's all to the good.

The bet was 95 regular season wins and they fell one short, so no you'd have been the loser not me.

C'mon Ken, leave him alone. He waited years to be close to correct. Let him enjoy it in an "even a blind squirrel" sort of way.

Ken, you're amazing in a "weird" sort of way. I predicted 95 wins and was off by one and my remarkable prediction was the most accurate on the entire board.

You predicted 65 wins and missed by 29. Out of a total of 39 predictions, you were 8th from the bottom which is about as bad as it gets. You can thank slidemaster, NYCbird, larsanderson, bazooka joe, snafu, thinking man, and weird-O for saving you from the worst predictor booby prize.

Anyway, keep chiding to your heart's content - your envy is obvious.

By the way, the O's 2013 record will be 84-78 and they'll miss the playoffs. I authorize you to jump on the bandwagon and use that prediction for 2013.
