		<title>An Early Look a the 2012 Blue Jays Offense &#8211; ZIPS Projections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard a lot of people complain this offseason that the Toronto Blue Jays didn&#8217;t do enough to improve their team for 2012. Of course, these people tend to be those who believe the Jays should have thrown $300M at Pujols, $250M at Fielder, and $100M at Buerhle, but do they have a point that, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; Wizards Beat Raptors in OT</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1-17 when I cover. This is getting ridiculous. I should have been betting against the Raptors every time I was assigned coverage, I&#8217;d be a rich man. Anyway, the Raptors battled back from down 18 to force overtime, only to end up losing anyway. My post-game analysis is long-winded. Check it out.]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; Raptors Play Worst Game Ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The count is now at 1-16. The Raptors are 1-and-fricken-16 when I cover their games for RR. They lost by 36 to the Celtics even though Rondo sat out and The Big Three combined for just 66 minutes. Shoot me. But still&#8230;.check it out.]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; Another Win for Milos, Another Loss for the Raptors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Raptors got hammered in an ugly one against the Hawks, but Milos Raonic was in attendance with his plastic girlfriend! Not much to discuss in terms of actual basketball, though Ed Davis is looking better. Check it out!]]></description>

		<title>E-Mail Exchange: Trev and Blake on Raptors, Celtics, and Lakers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As is becoming semi-regular of late, Trev Smith and I went back and forth on some NBA items via email, and I’ve tidied it up to pass off as an actual piece of writing! We touch on the Raptors in the face of the Andrea Bargnani injury, how to build the team from here through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; Raptors @ Jazz January 25 Pre-Game</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Doing pre-game for a change, to see if we can maybe avoid the Raptors terrible 1-14 record in games I do post-game coverage for. Still, I&#8217;m thinking the frontcourt dominance of the Jazz is too much for the Raptors to handle, even with Bargnani back. Check it out!]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; Raps Lose to Kings as Cousins Goes Beast</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Raptors are now 1-14 when I&#8217;m covering games for Raptors Republic. If they ever get competitive, I should probably quit, in the best interest of the team. Anyway, the post-game report is there. Check it out.]]></description>

		<title>Raptors Republic Article &#8211; (The Other) José and the Raptors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got a puppy, named José. He is awesome but frustrating. Much to the chagrin of commenter John, I used his training as an analogy for this young, inexperienced, and frustrating Raptors team following an embarrassing loss to the Nets. Check it out.]]></description>

It started to get detailed, so we formalized it a bit and decided to turn it into a piece for the site. 7500 words later, we thought it was time to split it into two [...]]]></description>
