The line on wins came out this morning (last night, actually), and for the Bucs it is 67 1/2.

Do you take the over or the under? I'm not talking the cynical you, or the optimistic you. I'm talking about the you that has $100 to drop on a bet on the Bucs.

That's a hard one. 67-95? The position players are starting to look pretty good, but the bench is thin and Cedeno will always be a puzzle. And the pitching just isn't there.

On the other hand, 68-94 wins the bet. And any team with Alvarez, McCutcheon, Tabata, and Walker at the top of the order has a decent chance to win 68 games. And Hurdle strikes me as a Leyland type of guy, a player's manager who nevertheless won't tolerate LOSING, regardless of the effort.

Hard-eyed me still takes the over. I think they'll beat it easily, I say the Bucs are going about 72-90 this year. My friend here at work thinks that's nuts, he's on the under. He figures 100 losses again.

What do you say? Not cynically, or rosy-eyed. Looking hard at it (and I think 67-68 is a good place to make the split), would you BET the over, or under?

Over. 90 wins this season. The rotation is slightly better and we are starting to find some offense.

I'm taking the under. I also see another 100-loss season. They just aren't good enough to do much more than that. Thank ownership for that.
