Ms. Gizmo, thank you for the link. I stand corrected. You are one of the three elite posters who predicted the O's surge in 2012. I apologize for grouping you in with the likes of weird-O, bmore Ken and Ivanbalt who totally blew it with their predictions. I've been promoting my 2013 prediction of 84-78 and no playoffs so that some folks can adopt it as their own and progress toward elite. It's been lonely at the top with only three of us (including you ma'am) and hopefully we can help others progress up the ladder from the outhouse to the penthouse.

I wouldn't use the word "expecting". But there were moves made in Feb. 2012, so the possibility more than exists. and now to broaded your narrow scope. it's not only a question of who they may add. there are other factors like injuries or players who have unexpectedly impressive springs and earn a spot on the 25 man roster to go north. there is also the possibility that an established player falls apart. then there's the developments of the other teams in the division.

there are many variables that will shake out over the next few weeks. they all have an impact on an intelligent assessment of the team and their 2013 season. none of which you care about, because your prediction isn't about being interested in the team. it's about being foolish and getting attention. well here you go, here's my attention that you so desperately crave.

as trolls go, you're more entertaining than some, but don't ever lose sight of the fact that you're nothing more than a jester flailing about in his own puddle as he tries to gain the attention of more noble men.


if I offer a prediction, it will be when all the teams break camp for the regular season, as opposed to your prediction which first appeared during last season and is little more than an elementary school math problem of 162-X= Y.

I eagerly await your prediction which will be rendered after you thoroughly study hot streaks, cold streaks, and injuries that occur during spring training. You make it sound very scientific. You must be a genius working with a flawed computer model based on your extremely inaccurate 2012 prediction.

After you finish your complex analysis, go with 84-78 and miss the playoffs.
