How I would rank the most likely to be traded: 1 Crain 2 Lindstrom 3 Peavy 4 De Aza 5 Rios 6 Ramirez 7 Viciedo 8 Danks 9 Dunn Ultimately, I think it's all of the first three and one of the next three.

Since this is from Rogers I'm not buying it, but in theory, Crain could have a couple rehab appearances, get traded while still on the DL, and then the Braves could still have him some more before coming back.

Are you on LinkedIn? That's a pretty good way to network professionally. Some job postings on there, too, but not a ton. Also, Indeed.com is a good site for job searches.

Yeah, it's bad that Texas is out as a suitor, but that's one more arm off the market with 9 days until the deadline, so it could be good, especially if the Cubs got a good haul.

When did Schilling come out of retirement?

Yes, it was the same guy.

Got a call last week to set up a phone interview for this week. Since I work until 5, I asked if there was any day I could do the interview after 5. I got told, "No, that isn't possible, I can't stay later than 5." Since this seemed like a pretty promising lead, I took 1/2 vacation day this morning to do the interview, and one of the first questions I'm asked is, "I just want to be up front in telling you that this is not a 9-5, 40 hour/week kind of place. We all go the extra mile here to get things done. Do you have a problem with weeks that are regularly 45-50 hours and sometimes 60?" I actually hung up on him.

Wait, players who play for Urban Meyer got arrested?

So ESPN has hired Olbermann and Silver. Does that mean Soxtalk has to merge the sports and politics boards?

That sucks that Strzalka was signed by the only team that doesn't put the names on the backs of jerseys.

That reminds me of when the Hawks won the cup and were passing it around, my wife, who knows absolutely nothing about hockey, asked, "Why does the black guy (Emery) have to wait until last?"

Wow, what an amazing back 9 by Phil to win it, and nobody deserves it more.

Princess Kate in the hospital in labor. I think they send up black smoke every few hours if there is no baby yet, and then white smoke when there finally is a baby.

They can sell back their houses and hotels for half price, and mortgage all their streets, or have they already done that?

If you go purely by population in the metro area, then yes, Saint Louis is definitely one of the 10 smallest. 2012 pop estimates in millions: Milwaukee 2.0 Cincinnati 2.2 Kansas City 2.4 Pittsburgh 2.7 Tampa 2.8 Saint Louis 2.9 San Diego 3.2 Denver 3.2 Cleveland 3.5 Minneapolis 3.8 Phoenix 4.2 Seattle 4.4 Detroit 5.3 Toronto 5.6 Atlanta 6.1 Houston 6.4 Miami 6.4 Dallas 7.1 Philadelphia 7.1 Boston 8.0 San Francisco/Oakland 8.4 Washington/Baltimore 9.3 Chicago 9.9 Los Angeles 18.2 New York 23.4

This ^^ Facebook is very useful if you want to keep in touch with friends and know how to filter out the crap you don't want to read. I have friends b****ing about getting 500 requests to play Candy Crush, when all you have to do is disable Candy Crush requests after the first one and you never see the other 499.

Complete it, yes. In anything close to the time that Armstrong et al used to complete it, no.

His first name should have tipped you off that he was probably born in the US.

Sochi is 9 hours ahead of EST. So if they have the US/Canada primarily playing late evening games local time that's going to be mid-late morning games in North America.

If you can hit .250 during your "slump", that's not bad.

Froome pretty much has this locked up, but they are going up Alpe d'Huez twice today.

If I understand correctly, the major European leagues have at most a 1-2 week break in the winter. Clubs aren't going to let their best players off for a month, are they?

Most of my web searches are for naked women.

OK, one formula I just looked up included reaching on error in the formula, but excluded intentional walks. I'm not getting that.
