SG published the first projected standings for his CAIRO projections (version .3) yesterday. They make a lot more sense to me than the early Oliver projections.
| TM | W | L | RS | RA | Div | WC | PL |
| Brewers | 92 | 70 | 700 | 646 | 52.5% | 14.3% | 66.7% |
| Cardinals | 90 | 72 | 708 | 648 | 36.8% | 19.3% | 56.2% |
| Reds | 84 | 78 | 724 | 704 | 10.1% | 10.8% | 20.9% |
| Cubs | 74 | 88 | 649 | 727 | 0.3% | 1.1% | 1.4% |
| Pirates | 70 | 92 | 656 | 758 | 0.4% | – | 0.4% |
| Astros | 60 | 102 | 569 | 759 | 0.0% | – | – |
The Oliver projected standings gave us a slim chance to contend, but this paints a very different picture.
******************************
The Cubs are interested in Coco Crisp according to MLBTR. He’s been worth 5 rWAR and 5.5 fWAR over the last two years. The Cubs reportedly want him to play left field. The Cubs already have Soriano, but the Cubs are interested in moving him, but whether or not anybody is interested in taking him is another issue altogether. Bill James projects a .330 wOBA from him in 2012. Crisp made just under $6 million last year and would probably make about the same in 2012. If he stays healthy he would more than likely be worth it.
The bidding for Yu Darvish ended at 4 pm today. The Cubs apparently did bid, but they aren’t believed to be the highest bid. No surprises there.

that said god bless the troops and go america.[/quote]Yeah, the jingoism and exceptionalism gets old even for me. You’ll notice 99% of the military stuff I post on FB concerns veteran’s rights and the ways in which vets get fucked by the government. If people want to support the troops, look at the voting records on IAVA and DAV, and if your rep has a shitty voting record on vet’s rights (*cough*McCain*cough*), then call them and tell them to unfuck themselves.
It is an all-volunteer armed forces in theory; however, when you begin to look deeper into the socio-economic makeup of the military (and especially combat troops) and the way in which these men and women are recruited, you begin to wonder what “volunteer” might be taken to mean. So while I agree that this is largely a question of what sort of stresses might be entailed by the choice one makes, I also think that issue is far less cut-and-dried than most would think. And that’s largely because most people don’t really think about veteran’s issues. They slap a yellow sticker on the car and think they’ve done enough. But the veteran isn’t a real person to them. The faces of the men and the women don’t show up for them. So it’s easy to look at this in stark terms because it’s being engaged on a superficial and wholly uncritical level. But when you see the vet as a human, well, then you begin to realize that, just as with all things where people are involved, this issue is far more complex and layered than one might have thought at first.

Actually, it’s doubtful he’d even move a half pound. Breaking 1000 pounds into half pounds would be 2000 packages. No way. The smaller quantity you sell the more likely that quantity is to sell. He wouldn’t even be selling 1 pound packages. Maybe not even 10 pounds ones. After giving it more thought I’d guess he sells it in 100 pound packages.

[quote name=Recalcitrant Blogger Nate]Dammit Aisley, get your head on straight. Baseball players who have gotten hurt playing baseball should no longer play baseball because that’s how they got hurt in the first place. It threatens their careers as baseball players and they are under contract here. We don’t want them not being able to play because they got hurt playing.[/quote]
Sorry. I was thinking about cats again.

When did he hurt himself taking batting practice?
Aisle424Quote Reply
The theory is that his 2009 back injury was a a result of his torque on his back from hitting batting practice home runs. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2009-08-21/sports/0908201167_1_wrigley-field-normal-babe-ruth

great expense and at the last minute.

The issue was that a new client for the company we use slipped those ads in the rotation.
