Can someone help me in identifying this weed?

50% is a pretty high percentage of crabgrass. While the xlr8 isn't an organic option, it will kill the crabgrass.
Pre-emergent is the best solution. I would suggest pulling it by hand, or spot spraying with vinegar, but in your situation, I think that would be a difficult means of control.
Yearly and well timed pre-emergent ( corn gluten works well, and will feed your lawn, too!), high mowing (no more than 1/3 the length of the grass off, and Deep watering to encourage deep roots is the best plan of action.
Do you use your grass clipping for anything? I wouldn't for the next few months if you decide to go with a weed n feed type product.
