Standings (and League Restructuring!) - May 24, 2012

The League has reached a regrettable but necessary decision to cancel the Red Sox' 2012 season. Sure am gonna miss Foggy Bottom. The plan is:

1. Red Sox roster will remain frozen until the 2013 draft. If there is a viable plan to bring the franchise back at that point, then they will pick up there. If not, Red Sox roster will be released into the general draft pool.

2. In 2012 each team will now play each other team ten times, for an 80-game schedule. At the 2012 Commissioner Dog night, we will draw by lot to establish three three-team divisions. 2012 playoff participants will be the three division winners and the wild-card best second placed team. In other words we'll be doing the same thing as when we had nine teams previously.

3. We'll need to come up with a regular schedule to replace the every-other-Monday Foggy Bottom meetings we've been having over the last several years. Suggestions solicited!

4. Half way and three-quarters marks back at 40 and 60 games respectively.

On to the standings (and note the Mets' seven-game winning streak to get from 9-14 too 16-14!):

1. Reds (21-12), .636, 0 GB
2. Yankees (19-16), .543, 3.0 GB
3. Mets (16-14), .533, 3.5 GB
4. Rockies (13-12), .520, 4.0 GB
5. Cubs (16-15), .516, 4.0 GB
6. Giants (17-17), .500, 4.5 GB
7. Cards (14-16), .467, 5.5 GB
8. Pirates (14-20), .412, 7.5 GB
9. Athletics (9-15), .375, 7.5 GB
