Wow, James has them down for 108 wins this season.
I like Paul's prediction
although I think that he's likely to be wrong about Schmidt
added up, Paul assigns responsibility for 52 losses to the pitching staff
but that's a bit pessimistic
does anyone REALLY think that the Yankees are gonna lose more than 7 or 8 games this season?
