    Indeed.  Rizzo.  So what do you think?  Should the Cubs' put a 44
    flag in the outfield and build a statute outside Wrigley this year? 
    Or should they wait until next year?<br>

                  <div>   I do not know what algebraic formula you used,
                    but my best advice to you is to retain your players
                    that will "load" your team next year, or so you
                    think.</div>
                  <div>   You put too much stock in the DL players on
                    your roster. Heck, if all of them perform as you
                    expect, you would not need to solicit a dump deal
                    now, wouldya? Feliz will be a middle reliever,
                    Santos will be lucky to set-up, Danks likely won't
                    pitch again this season and Markakis is well,
                    Markakis--modest power, modest BA (but certainly
                    better than that Pearce fellow you spent $16 to
                    acquire).  That said, if you can acquire about 15
                    new players through your dump deals with the Bombers
                    and AYM you very well may not need much from your DL
                    guys.</div>
                  <div>    I also am offended how your "math" subtracts
                    the Red Hots, Daddies and LMC from the pennant
                    chase. Each of those teams can follow your lead and
                    point to injured players who soon will lead them to
                    the Promised Land. And, each of those teams can
                    point to various cheap keeps to offer in deals, as
                    can the Nukes and Brats.</div>
                  <div>    So, don't try to restrict trade or intimidate
                    those of us (in particular, the K-9) who carry the
                    goods you seek to purchase at discounted prices. We
                    don't "owe" you anything or anyone, no matter how
                    you calculate the ways to manipulate us.</div>

                      <br>
                      I've done the math and I encourage you to do the
                      same.  Short of a significant and unlikely turn of
                      events, this league will be won by one of three
                      teams this year:  Brats, Nukes or Berliners.  I've
                      sent out feelers to those of you who aren't likely
                      champions and the lack of response suggests that
                      either you disagree with my assessment, you're
                      biding your time or you're willing to settle for a
                      finish somewhere other than first without having
                      improved your prospects for next year.<br>
                      <br>
                      Despite the tales of woe spouted by my good buddy
                      Brad Lee, my title prospects remain strong.  Wil
                      Myers will be recalled soon.  Nick Markakis, John
                      Danks, Neftali Feliz and Sergio Santos should
                      return shortly after the break.  And sooner or
                      later Hosmer, Youkilis and Moore will heat up to
                      the extent they haven't already.  And yet, I sit a
                      mere three points behind the Brats and only 2 1/2
                      points behind the Nukes.<br>
                      <br>
                      Hosmer, Cabrera, Doumit, AJax, Santana, Plouffe,
                      Moore, Nova and Peavy are all sure to help a team
                      next year.  And prospects like Myers, Machado,
                      Lindor, Buxton and Walker will provide help for
                      the future and/or trade bait.<br>
                      <br>
                      If there's no interest in a deal beyond the
                      nonsense that Brad Lee has been sending my way
                      lately, then so be it.  I'll see if my team has
                      the cojones to pull this off without any outside
                      help and then come back next year loaded for a
                      repeat.  But if you want to get a head start on
                      the 2013 Damon - you know where to find me.<br>
                      <br>
                      That is all.<br>
