Are you aware that Tiant got 25% two years ago? Do you really think he'll be elected? Do you really believe that Bobby Bonds will jump from 5% to 70%?

I don't mean to make fun of you, but come on. Are these "predictions" really what you think will happen, or what you think should happen?

As we know now, no one got the magic 75%. Seems to me the prediction in the first post wasn't too keen on the realities of the current VC.

Joe Torre - 74%

There wouldn't be any bias in that, would there?:laugh

I heard on the news that Santo got closest, 5 votes short.
