Padres Owner: "81 Wins May Be Enough"
Talk about low expectations: Padres majority owner John Moores thinks the NL West will be won by whichever team wins 81 games:
"Yeah, 81 wins may be enough to win the division, but I think we're going to do better than that," John Moores, the team's majority owner, said on Sunday as the Phillies scored seven runs in the fifth inning before recording an out on the way to an easy 8-3 victory. "But I don't care how many games we win as long as we make it to the World Series."That's not beyond the realm of possibility, either. Since the Wild Card, the three-division format and the three-tiered playoff system in each league were instituted in time for 1994 season, the greatest nightmare of traditional fans has been some team with a losing record winning it all.
...
"Never in my wildest imagination did I figure that this team would win less games than last season," Moores said.
