(This is my first time around here in months.  I hope you don't hold it against me.)

I went back and looked at our pre-season predictions.  We have a winner, mjschaefer, who correctly guessed the Indians final record of 69-93.  The only prize is smug satisfaction that everyone else was wrong.  

Interestingly, Mr. Schaefer's guess was also the lowest guess in the competition.  If the Tribe had lost one more game, they would've been worse than everyone (on this blog) expected.  Surely this was the obscure promise that kept them striving through the soggy salad days of September.

Honorable mention to LeftyCatcher who was only one over on season wins for Carmona.  He predicted a 82-80 record though.  Hopefully, the Carmona prediction is comforting in this bitter postseason.

Full list of predictions after the jump.
