76-55 as of today.
92 wins would be 16-15 to finish out the year. You'd be surprised if this team bettered .500 for the rest of the year?
Games remaining against teams that are out of it (drawing the line after the Cubs, who are 5.5 back, and above the Brewers who are 8.5 back):
Brewers: 9
Pirates: 3
Astros: 3
Reds: 3
Nats: 1
Total: 19
Games against WC contenders:
Braves: 3
Marlins: 3
Cubs: 3
Rox: 3
Total: 12
92 wins is a minimum, unless they really pull of the gas.
3 games at Houston, where we typically play much worse against the Astros than at Busch, a bunch left against the Brewers, etc.
Do I think they're going to win the division, yeah. I just don't think we're gonna blow everyone away a la '04 and win 95+.

Yeah, I'd love for this team to race to 95 wins or so, but 9 games against the brewers? 3 each against the stros and flubs? Those will be tough games, as will col and fla and atl.
At this point, I just want us to make the playoffs and get everyone right for the playoffs.
