1,231 In the news Shark for sale? A man has been trying to sell a small live shark on the subway, reported Gothamist yesterday. A source told the site that the entrepreneur had caught the fish at Coney Island after it tried to bite him and was now selling it for $100. Last seen on the J train, the man was carrying his little shark in a disposable cooler. PETA officials told Gothamist that the man may be “bitten” again after the Department of Environmental Conservation finds out about his fishy business ventures. METRO/DB

She’s the little spoon: Snuggle up for $60 Never underestimate the power of the human touch. At least, that’s the business model that Penfield, N.Y. woman Jackie Samuel is banking on. About a month ago, she launched a website that offers a solid hour of cuddle time in exchange for a cool $60. “I really just wanted to cud-

dle,” the upstate New York resident told Metro. On her site, The Snuggery, Samuel showcases herself as an advocate for the healing power of touch. With photos that show her in cozy, curled up poses dressed in pajamas, Samuel states that Americans are deprived of enough non-

sexual touch and that’s why she is here to help. Samuel said she has looked into getting certified for her snuggle sessions, but found that the only certification available was for people looking to host group snuggling parties. Samuel just wanted to do individual cuddling. When she

placed an ad for her snuggle services in the back of her local newspaper, business started to flow in. “There are different kinds of cuddling positions, but I typically always start out spooning. And I am pretty small, so usually I’m the little spoon,” Samuel said. METRO/CG

Billboard draws fury from Israelis WESTCHESTER. The Anti-

DNA recovered from padlock after subway stunt matches 2004 murder But law enforcement sources now saying DNA may be contaminated COURTESY OF NYPD

A DNA link that may have connected the Occupy Wall Street movement to an unsolved 2004 murder may now be the result of a lab goof, according to reports. On March 28, activists used chains to open the emergency gates at several subway stations, prompting free rides in protest of MTA fare hikes. A sample collected by police from a chain used at the Beverley Road subway station in Flatbush reportedly matched DNA gathered from a CD player that was found near the dead body of 21-year-old Sarah Fox in 2004. But last night, police sources told both the New York Post and the Daily News that the DNA may have been left by the same lab technician who handled both the CD player and the padlock. “It was a total screw up,” one anonymous cop told the Post. “What are the chances that the killer came in contact

Police released photos of the suspects chaining open gates at the Beverly Road subway station.

with this chain and left his DNA on it all these years later?” said another skeptical cop. Fox’s nude body was found after she disappeared near In-

wood Hill Park during a run. When Metro asked, Occupy Wall Street denied that it had anything to do with organizing the March 28 subway protest.

“After it happened, a lot of media gave credit to OWS, but we don’t actually know the people who organized it,” Occupy Wall Street press team member Linnea Paton told Metro yesterday morning. The activists who placed the chains at Beverly Road station were masked, according to police surveillance footage. The NYPD released the surveillance video earlier this year, which shows the masked vandals propping open the subway gates with padlocks and chains. When asked about tweets that Occupy Wall Street accounts made in March spreading the word about the subway protest, Paton responded, “A lot of people were excited to see that type of protest happen, but in terms of organizing it, we did not. It didn’t come from one of our working groups.” CASSANDRA GARRISON

MIDTOWN. Two stranded

window washers were rescued yesterday from outside a building in Midtown after their scaffolding broke on the 42nd floor, according to the New York Post. The workers, one believed to be in his 60s, were stuck outside 1177 6th Avenue for about an hour, according to the paper. Firefighters had to cut power to the scaffolding before bringing the men in through a window. The FDNY said they were uninjured. METRO/DB

Online post brags of stunt On March 28, OccupyWallStreet.org posted a release online crediting OWS protesters and local union workers with the padlocking: “This morning before rush hour, teams of activists, many from Occupy Wall Street, in conjunction with rank-and-file workers from the Transport Workers Union Local 100 and the Amalga-

mated Transit Union, opened up more than 20 stations across the city for free entry,” read the post. Transport Workers Union Local 100 spokesperson Jim Gannon said it’s possible union members were involved in the protest, but would have been disciplined if they were caught. “If they were there, they did it on their own without any encouragement from the union,” Gannon told Metro. “I haven't seen anything that shows any of our people were there.”

No arrests in case yet

Who was Sarah Fox?

No arrests were made during the March 28 action. No members of OWS were questioned by police yesterday, said OWS attorney Norman Siegel. When asked, police said they weren’t questioning OWS members. The lab worker who may have mistakenly tainted the DNA will be disciplined. METRO/CG

Officials want to ban sex offenders from kids’ libraries

AY PL +7 & Y -2 TQ A ; ST 6% ¯ ( TQ

Convicted sex offenders aren’t allowed on playgrounds, or near schools, but incredibly, they can stroll right into the children’s section of city public libraries. City officials are now trying to change that, proposing a law change yesterday that would ban sex offenders from children’s library reading rooms. Public Advocate Bill de Blasio and Queens Councilman Peter Vallone said the law is an attempt to prevent what they call an underreported crime against children. On Monday, a registered sex offender was arrested for allegedly fondling two girls, ages 6 and 9, at the Flushing branch of the Queens Public Library. Joel Grubert, 49, had a history of criminal sex abuse against young girls, according to reports. According to de Blasio spokesman Wiley Norvell, crimes like these are underreported because libraries are heavily used by immigrant families, who face a language barrier or fear deportation. “It is common sense that we

keep sexual predators away from areas where young kids congregate,” said Vallone. “Children’s rooms in libraries are really indoor playgrounds for growing minds, and our kids need every protection we can give them.” A law banning offenders from entire libraries passed the New York State Senate but did not pass the Assembly. This time around, Vallone and de Blasio singled out children’s reading rooms to get the law enacted. “The idea is the law would

act as a deterrent to sex offenders,” said Norvell. “It would become something their parole officer would explain to them as one of the places they cannot go.” Currently, offenders are banned from playgrounds and from living within 1,000 feet of a school or children’s daycare. In other states, sex offenders have previously been banned from parks, beaches, pools and even malls. DANIELA BERNAL

INHUMANE CHOICE TO GAS 750 CANADA GEESE TO DEATH Opinion

The cruel decision to round up and exterminate 751 Canada geese at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge on Monday morning was based on bad science, and counters the very definition of a “wildlife refuge.”

A

lthough the removal operations were funded by taxpayers, no prior public notice was given and transparency has been denied. Officials claim the roundup and gassing of these birds was conducted humanely, but our requests for documentation, even by the media or other third parties, have been dismissed. The roundups are not humane in any way, and carbon dioxide asphyxiation of these birds is especially cruel. The goose meat donated to food banks under the guise of charity is unregulated and insufficiently inspected — in other words, it is potentially toxic. The removals proceeded despite pleas from animal advocates, aviation experts, biologists, ecologists and public officials, who all agree that the removal of these birds will have no impact on the alleged risk posed to airplanes.

Actually, the removals could even prove counterproductive, as other birds can be expected to reoccupy the newly created vacant habitat.

On their website, the NPS confirmed that about half of the 1,500 geese in the wildlife refuge have been killed this summer, 751 geese in all. “The cull was as humane as possible,” wrote the NPS online. “Geese were herded into pen areas, crated and taken to a food processor in Duchess County. They were euthanized and their meat will be distributed to food pantries in New York State.” Hundreds of geese have been killed in New York City in the past few summers; no further removals are planned for this year, a federal official told Metro.

The gospel of heaven, Jesus’ prophecies of the New Testament, was preached in Europe to the West, and was testified to all the people of the world according to the prophecy of Matthew 24:14: “and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” This testimony is given to those who believe in the prophecies of the Bible and have been waiting their fulfillment. Having started in the Republic of Korea, the fulfillment will now go out to the ends of the earth.

Every month in Korea, more than 3,000 people gather to listen to the Revealed Word from Instructor Lee, and that number is growing rapidly. Pastors from 28 different countries who heard this news invited the instructor to come to Europe. Because of the high demand, Instructor Lee is returning to Europe on July 4 for the second time in the past 2 months. The fulfillment of the New Testament is the fulfillment of God’s purpose and the hope of all humanity.

Ponds in the rural area of Filadelfia, Brazil, have started to dry out.

Last year was among the 15 warmest since recordkeeping began in the late 19th century, despite a La Nina weather pattern that should have cooled global temperatures, according to an annual climate assessment. La Nina’s failure to cause significantly cooler global temperatures is one of many indications of long-term climate warming, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s State of the Climate report compiled by 378 scientists from 48 nations. La Nina was responsible for droughts in eastern Africa and North America, the scientists reported. Last year “will be remembered as a year of extreme events, both in the United States and around the world,” Deputy NOAA Administrator Kathryn D. Sullivan said in a

statement. “Every weather event that happens now takes place in the context of a changing global environment.” Texas had the hottest summer since data collection began in 1895 and extreme heat may be more common in the future. “Conditions leading to droughts such as the one that occurred in Texas in 2011 are, at least in the case of temperature, distinctly more probable than they were 40-50 years ago,” according to the study. It used as a proxy 2008, another La Nina year, in which it found extreme heat was about 20 times more likely than in the 1960s. Carbon dioxide emissions increased in 2011 and the yearly global average surpassed 390 parts per million for the first time since records started. BLOOMBERG

It’s sad.” The pair first acknowledged their romance in February 2010, and he popped the question in April 2011. Bower seems to be moving on, though, as on Monday he was spotted in Toronto holding hands with his “The Mortal Instruments” co-star, Lily Collins.

Comic-Con Our Hollywood correspondent offers an overview of what we can expect at the convention — one of the best places to learn about upcoming blockbusters

Between the megasuccess of this spring’s “The Avengers� — with a worldwide take of more than $1 billion — and the anticipated arrival of “The Dark Knight Rises� later this month, it’s quite the year for comic

book movies, making this week’s San Diego Comic-Con that much more exciting. Here’s some of the stuff we’re looking forward to most at the annual nerd-fest. Be sure to follow along on Twitter

Television “The Walking Dead�: The popularity of the zombie drama’s first appearance at ComicCon two years ago caught organizers off-guard, but by now they should be ready for the massive fan outpouring. And with the show’s third season debuting in October, we’re hoping to learn some juicy details. “Community�: The cast of the quirky comedy with a passionate — if small — fan base returns to Comic-Con on the heels of series creator Dan Harmon’s newsmaking termination this spring. We’re curious to hear what direction the show will take with new bosses — and a reduced episode order — next season.

bringing in some big guns for his follow-up to 2009’s “District 9,� including stars Matt Damon and Jodie Foster — not exactly a familiar Comic-Con face. We’re excited to hear about the class warfare sci-fi film, set for release next March. “Django Unchained�: While not necessarily the usual Comic-Con fare, we’re stoked to get a glimpse at Quentin Tarantino’s next flick, a revengefueled western starring Jamie Foxx as a freed slave.

he lineup for this summer’s House of Vans parties in Greenpoint reads like a carefully curated selection of bands from the Vans Warped Tour — plus a few stellar acts that would never quite fit on that annual punk-focused festival. Pulling together an eclectic bill was the point, with renowned promoters FYF enlisted to create the calendar. “We definitely wanted to reach out to the punk and hard-core fans that Vans has associated themselves with, but also … broaden it from the indie rock to the electronic,” says David Peterson of FYF, who serves as manager of the House of Vans. Acts as varied as punk veterans 7 Seconds (tonight) to garage/soul band King Khan and the Shrines (July 26) to Sub Pop electronic artist Washed Out (Aug. 2) will perform at the space this season. April Vitkus, Vans’ director of lifestyle marketing, sees the wide-ranging concerts as a natural extension of the company,

‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ The verdict is “yay!” for “500 Days of Summer” director Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spidey story, with Andrew Garfield taking up the Silly String and Emma Stone on task as the enchanting Gwen Stacy.

“New Yorkers are used to having all these free summer events, like movies in Bryant Park and the River to River Festival,” says David Peterson, manager of the House of Vans. “We fit in nicely with that.”

FYF started coming up with these awesome lineups. … So the crowd [at the House of Vans parties] is a mix of young and old. And nostalgia versus modern is what Vans is all about.”

Segel

Williams ALL PHOTOS GETTY IMAGES

rom recent reports it seems that actors Michelle Williams and Jason Segel have quietly crossed that line between playing with the idea of being exclusive and committing to being a couple. At a premiere party to celebrate Segel’s film “The Five-Year Engagement,” they were seen holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes. They are both known for taking their time when it comes to romance. It raises the question: How does a hopeful pair get from one point to the next? When do you actually become an exclusive couple?

Shrink Wrap DR. JANE GREER HEALTH.METRO.US

One of my patients was pondering this recently, and she asked me when it is appropriate to have the conversation and negotiate the terms of becoming a committed couple. I told her that in order to gauge that, you want to look at what is going on between the two of you.

Being exclusive is the exciting hill everyone wants to get over in a new, promising relationship. And there will be definite signs that you are successfully making that climb. There is the obvious: If you begin to refer to each other, and to introduce each other, as boyfriend and girlfriend. Other clues are when you start to show your affection in public by holding hands and touching, making the statement that you belong together, or the biggie: You start saying “I love you.” And the best indication of all is that you no longer want to date other people or even leave that

Government should help those trying to help themselves RE: “YOU’LL MISS MINIMUM WAGE WHEN ROBOTS ARRIVE”:

This is to Daniel Green: With all of your wisdom, I hope you also realize that there is a generation of 20somethings drowning in tens of thousands of dollars of crippling student loan debt and that higher education isn’t always an option. Maybe instead of criticizing those that do work those 2-3 part-time jobs, you should be thankful you don’t have to worry about minimum wage pay to begin with — at least that’s what it sounds like from the pedestal you’re preaching off of. We live in a society where these jobs are a gift

to the underpaid and underemployed — or someone like myself, trying to pay for college. The 10cent raise every year probably isn’t gonna break the big business piggy bank. KRISTI SENAT VIA E-MAIL

Don’t do the climb if you can’t treat the Lyme This is just friendly feedback: Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria, not a virus, and it’s called Borrelia burgdorferi.

Blame game played in the past — and future, too! RE: “CLINTON AND DEMS SOW SEEDS OF FAILURE”: Sorry, but

nearly everything Raymond Collins mentions is either incorrect or simply irrelevant to the original point. Yes, banking deregulation began under Clinton — but it was under Bush’s watch (and his encouragement) that Wall Street created and pursued the labyrinthine schemes that resulted in the 2008 meltdown. The subprime mortgage market (another Bush creation) was utterly tangential to the crisis. Further, I remind everyone of Senator Mitch McConnell’s on-record statement of the Republican’s single

The persistence of sheets in sheep’s clothing The KKK is not a civicminded group. It is a gang whose sole purpose is to hurt people — not help people. The State of Georgia was absolutely in the right not to allow them to post a sign. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech or any of their rights as individuals. The state does not support street gangs anymore than a gang in sheep’s clothing, which is what this KKK group is. The most shocking part about this is — they still exist?

It’s a three-hour playlist of the most hair-raising, spinetingling and blood-curdling scores from the most iconic horror movies ever made. There’s the sci-fi ooze of Bernard Herrmann’s score to “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” the classical eeriness of Howard Shore’s score from “The Silence of the Lambs” and we’re pretty sure you’ll get to hear Steve Jablonsky’s opening theme to “Friday the 13th,” which may even placate the esteemed Mr. Jason Voorhees. If that doesn’t work, he may have to go back to killing campers. Mwahahaha! METRO

They come with a bright, tangy mignonette sauce, but the oysters are so fresh and clean-tasting that you’ll want to eat them bare. “If you have a top product — if it’s perfect,” Malbequi says, “you have nothing to add.”

Hot Chef Prima, a one-room wonder in the East Village, starts serving coffee and pastries at 8 a.m. and stays open all day, to an indeterminate evening closing time. You’ll want to hang around. The pastries come from Francois Payard, and the coffee is from Ninth Street Espresso. At around noon, you can order a beer and a fried hake sandwich. “And then at 5 or 6,” says head chef David Malbequi, “you can start again with a cocktail and an oyster.” The centerpiece of Prima’s menu is its seafood, which Malbequi hand-picks daily. “We get fresh seafood every day,” he says. “Sometimes I 86 menu items if I don’t get the quality I want. … Fish has to be fresh. It’s nothing you can play around with.” On a recent visit, he brought out a dish of periwinkles along with a couple of pins stuck in a champagne cork.

Is it unusual to have a dining space that stays open all day? Chef David Malbequi reels us in with his fresh oysters.

The idea is to be open all day long — you can have it anytime: breakfast, lunch, dinner. What we want to do here is be like room service: You choose your food from the counter, and we assemble it in the kitchen, everything on one tray at the register. You eat, leave your tray and then go. … It’s easier to not have dining service — especially at lunch; you want to go fast. Does Prima’s all-day menu mirror how you like to eat?

Personally, I don’t eat fish. It’s not that I don’t like it — I don’t appreciate it. At the end, I’m empty. I have to eat something else. Something more heavy, like meat. I love to cook it, though! I compare fish to women and meat to men. Can you explain that a little bit?

Fish is very delicate, and with meat, you have to cook it, and then it rests — like a man, always resting. Fish, it’s like a girl; you have to be gentle, otherwise you’re going to break it. But meat is more tough. What I also like about fish is you cook it, it’s on the plate. You go right from the pan to the plate. You cannot play with it. Meat, you can always adjust it. If it’s not cooked enough, you can put it in the oven. With fish, it’s like 1, 2, 3 — that’s it. I’m a huge fan of sardines — it’s a very sustainable fish. What was your inspiration for the sardines rilletes on the menu?

The sardine, that is a classic thing. You know, when you are in France and you don’t know what to eat, you take a can, you open it, you crush it and you add stuff inside. I used to go to Morocco when I was younger, to Essaouira — it’s a capital for the sardine. And when they are coming back, from the little boat, you know, they take the sardines, fillet them and put them on a piece of grilled bread, butter, lemon juice and mint. Just like that — raw.

Discovering Puglian wine: A sleeper region wakes up The Puglia region has long been known as the “wine cellar of Italy,” but word of these world-class vintages has only just started to trickle into America’s wine bars. Puglia (pronounced “poolya”) is the heel of Italy’s “boot,” and is known for its diversity of terroir, which creates big, richflavored wines, similar to those produced in California. “We need to make people

understand the potential of Puglia,” says Niccolo Maltini, Brand Ambassador for the Tormaresca estate, which was founded in Puglia in 1998 by the Antinori company, one of the oldest winemaking families in Italy. “The wines that come out of Puglia are very different,” Maltini says. “It’s a much warmer climate, so the grapes get much riper than they do in the other

areas, which makes the wine juicer.” And Puglian wines, Maltini adds, are generally less expensive than other Italian wines of the same quality. At least for now. Next Thursday, La Scuola di Eataly’s monthly “Aperitivo with the Winemaker” class will focus on the wines of Puglia, featuring six varieties from the region. Mr. Maltinti will lead the class, which offers tastings of six Tormaresca estate wines paired with small dishes prepared by Eataly’s chefs. After class, head up to Eataly’s rooftop beer garden, the Birreria, for a sunset a grappa and dolci. REBECCA FINKEL

Finding his stride

GETTY IMAGES

French legend Thierry Henry didn’t know much about MLS before move But the Red Bulls forward learned fast Now he is a star in the US MIKE STOBE/GETTY IMAGES

High-profile international players coming to MLS have a certain stereotype associated with them. The thought is they’re advanced in their careers and looking for one final pay day before hanging up the cleats. Such has not been the case with Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry who, despite battling injuries, is tied for fourth in MLS with nine goals this season. “I’ve been involved 33, 34 years with high profile players before but that guy knows everything — the other players, the other teams — everything. He cares,” Red Bulls head coach Hans Backe said. “It is very unusual to have a player at that level that has won everything and still cares and knows everything [and] is hungry to win. It is not common.” Henry came to MLS with a pedigree unlike any ever seen in the league. He won a World Cup in 1998 and was France’s Player of the Year five times. When he came to MLS in summer 2010, he eschewed offers from top European clubs to come to New York, a city he had long been fascinated with. It would’ve been easy for the

34-year-old striker to rest on his laurels and still likely succeed in MLS, but ask any of his team-

mates and they will be happy to talk about his work ethic. “It was more difficult for me in the very beginning when I didn’t know the teams. Now let’s be honest, I have been here for two years; you don’t have to tell me how some

teams play and how good the players are and what they do,” Henry said. “By now, you should know how most of the teams should play.” KRISTIAN DYER sports@metro.us

Sources: Nets cut off talks for Howard NBAE/GETTY IMAGES

In the neverending saga of Dwight Howard to the Nets, yesterday’s news came in the form of Brooklyn reportedly pulling out of trade talks. ESPN and Yahoo! Sports both reported the Nets have pulled out of their pursuit for the All-Star center permanently and have signed Brook Lopez to a four-year, $61-million contract. Lopez, a restricted free agent, would have been the key component to any trade between the Magic and Nets. Talks between the two sides have been off and on for at least six months, with the NBA trade deadline coming and going without a resolution. Howard decided to opt in to the final year of his con-

Howard

tract, ending any chance the center would sign with Brooklyn in the offseason. But after a tumultuous end to the season, including the firing of head coach Stan Van Gundy, Howard demanded a trade again, with Brooklyn being the desired location. The Nets put a deal with Lopez, MarShon Brooks, Johan Petro and three first-round picks on the table, but after two weeks the Magic were still unsatisfied and the Nets decided to end talks yesterday once and for all. The Magic are still reportedly entertaining trade offers from the Rockets and Lakers, who would likely include young center Andrew Bynum in any deal. MARK OSBORNE

On the first day NBA teams could make free agent signings official, both of the Nets’ big deals were signed exactly as planned. Point guard Deron Williams signed a max deal — on his iPad — worth five years and $98.8 million, ending any speculation his choice might waver from last week’s announcement. Brooklyn also signed Gerald Wallace to a fouryear, $40-million contract. However, the team has yet to finalize the Joe Johnson trade. METRO

Nets also add Stackhouse While the Wallace and Williams deals were known for awhile, the Nets also added 17-year veteran Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse, who will be playing for his eighth team, signed for one year and $1.3 million. The North Carolina product scored 3.6 points per game for Atlanta last season in 30 games. He averaged just over nine minutes per game. METRO

Heat sign Allen, Lewis Miami’s addition of Ray Allen came as no surprise, but they also added recently released Rashard Lewis yesterday as well. Lewis and his expiring contract were traded to the Hornets in June, before the veteran was cut. Miami will only be on the hook for $2.6 million total — two years at the veteran’s minimum. He averaged 7.8 points per game last season. METRO

Metro’s Midseason MLB Power Rankings | by Mark Osborne GETTY IMAGES

4

TIGERS (44-42)

I make exceptions for records when they have the reigning Cy Young and MVP on the team (Justin Verlander) and the best 3-4 in baseball — Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder.

5

For now they are treading water until Matt Kemp returns, which should be fairly soon. He’ll be a huge spark to the lineup with Clayton Kershaw and Chris Capuano pitching well.

YANKEES (52-33)

I know it’s boring, but there can be no question at this point that the Bronx Bombers are the best team in baseball. The one team that is even in the hunt is Texas, but the Yankees are an impressive ten games over .500 on the road while the Rangers are just five over. If the Rangers hadn’t finished 2-5 heading into the All-Star break, they might be in this spot. When Andy Pettitte and Brett Gardner come back, it will be an added bonus.

2

RANGERS (52-34)

Texas has the best offense in the majors and a pretty solid rotation. How well that rotation holds up depends on how much you believe in Japanese rookie Yu Darvish — throwing on only four days rest in the United States — and Roy Oswalt — nearing 35 years old.

6

WHITE SOX (47-38)

Jake Peavy will improve and Chris Sale will regress (too many innings), but Adam Dunn is the key part of the team. If he keeps up this year’s pace they’ll be in the playoffs.

7

3

ANGELS (48-38)

We stay out West for a team that is already good and getting better. After the slow start for Albert Pujols it is amazing that they have the third-most wins in the American League. As weird as it still seems to say it, rookie Mike Trout may be the MVP this year as well.

REDS (47-38)

Cincinnati is the class of the NL Central, regardless of what Pittsburgh’s record is right now. They play the Brewers, Astros, Rockies and Padres four of their next five series.

8

NATIONALS (49-34)

Washington is a great story, but they are still a year away from being title contenders. Also, when you yank your best pitcher, Stephen Strasburg, out of the rotation in August you might miss the playoffs.

Tampa Bay gets caught in the numbers game as usual. They will struggle against the Yanks in the second half after blitzing them in the first. Their lineup is still awful too.

10

GIANTS (46-40)

If only they could get something, anything, from Tim Lincecum they might be ranked higher. Melky Cabrera, despite his All-Star MVP, will decline some as well.

11

METS (46-40)

That other New York team has had a Cinderella season, but it won’t result in a playoff spot. The offense isn’t there and the pitching is lacking with a brutal bullpen.

12

BRAVES (46-39)

New York and Atlanta are stuck in a similar position in the same division. Neither are playoff teams, but neither are terrible either. Though the Mets have more youth to build on.

13

CARDINALS (46-40)

St. Louis has the lineup to compete even without Pujols anymore, but it’s Dave Duncan they miss more. The pitching has been mediocre at best and Lance Lynn won’t keep up his Cy Young pace.

14

INDIANS (44-41)

People in Cleveland will be mad at me for putting the Indians so much lower than the Tigers and White Sox, but too bad. Your best offensive player is Jason Kipnis.

15

PIRATES (48-37)

Andrew McCutchen is for real. And that is just about it. The Pirates have a hitter for the future, they just need Gerrit Cole to get there and have the pitcher to match.

16

ORIOLES (45-40)

As you can tell by the last two teams, this is the Rodney Dangerfield portion of the rankings. Talk to me when your ace isn’t Jason Hammel, with his 3.47 ERA.

17

RED SOX (43-43)

Oh, former Yankee rival, how we miss you. To be in the playoff hunt they need both Jon Lester and Josh Beckett to turn it around. It just doesn’t seem likely at this point.

18

19

MARLINS (41-44)

If any team at the bottom of these rankings has a chance to make a playoff run, it is Miami. They just need Josh Johnson, Jose Reyes and Heath Bell to turn it around. Very fast.

20

ATHLETICS (43-43)

You have to give Billy Beane and the A’s credit — again. That being said, no way Josh Reddick keeps up his pace. Also, who’s Tommy Milone?

21

PHILLIES (37-50)

Is that record for real? Even if they don’t trade a pitcher, no way Chase Utley and Ryan Howard bring them back from this far down.

22

BREWERS (40-45)

If Milwaukee trades Zack Grienke then their season is really over. But hey, how about that Ryan Braun not being a steroid creation?

And the rest ...

BLUE JAYS (43-43)

Toronto is really wasting the talent of Jose Bautista to criminal levels by now. It’s not their fault Kyle Drabek is hurt and Ricky Romero has been tremendously disappointing, but it is still too bad.

No. 23 — D-backs (42-43) No. 24 — Royals (37-47) No. 25 — Mariners (36-51) No. 26 — Twins (36-49) No. 27 — Cubs (33-52) No. 28 — Astros (33-53) No. 29 — Rockies (33-52) No. 30 — Padres (34-53)
