Who's to say we'll win as many as we did last year?
10 reasons we might not win as many games this year
1. Dempster will remember he sucks
2. Kerry Wood is gone.
3. DeRosa will begin his decline after 3 career years
4. Rich Harden will miss the entire season with injuries
5. Z will be committed to an asylum.
6. Soriano is a year older will continue his decline
7. Fukudome will play like 2nd half Fukudome.
8. Reed will play like he did on at Toronto.
9. Derrek Lee will hit into 85 double plays and continue to decline in general
10. Theriot will remember he wasn't worth a shit in the minors
I don't think most of those things will happen, but we pretty much had everything go our way last season. Unless we upgrade our roster, I fully expect to win less games next season.
