Each year we ask you to make pre-season predictions, this year was no different.
Today we find out if we have a psychic witch among us. First let's look at the final NL West Standings and records.
Now take a moment to review our 2011 Padres Predictions.
Can any of us see the future? The answer is no. Actually after looking at all of our predictions, I don't think any of us know a thing about baseball. Myself included.
Only 5% of those who took the poll predicted that we'd win between 71-75 games. Undoubtedly we were all too optimistic, probably because of how we overachieved in 2010. No one predicted under 73 wins and the vast majority of us picked a win total in the 80's.
Not one of us predicted the the Diamondbacks would win the West. Nor did anyone predict that the Padres would finish in last place.
The only thing that we really correctly guessed was that Heath Bell would be an All Star.
Let's do better next year. The Padres too.
