it is but the extension will likely wait untill after opening day

well i think the odds that they extend him now that they have him on their team
are extremely good

I would agree but if they wait untill the seson starts
it counts towards next years payroll, when they dump JD Drew and Papi’s salary

It would be hard to extend him if he wasn't on the team, but I'm sure SD would've appreciated them paying for it.

I was going to say this in the other thread but then I saw we got overflowed
so let me come right out and say it: zombies are my least favorite pop-culture monster/creature. They’re just so boring.
SO boring.
They’re just so dumb. They’re also crazy disgusting with the rotting skin and eating of brains and all that. On the other hand, I kind of appreciate that it’s still very, very clear that you don’t want to become one (as opposed to vamps).

I think zombies just click with some people, probably a psycological thing about it being you againt society or a large group of people.

so you'd want to be a vampire? because i wouldn't
i’d want to be something with no weaknesses, not being able to go out into the sun & having to watch out for every stray tree branch killing me would get old really fast
All I've got is a broken heart, memories & dreams that I can't drink away
oh, NO, I don't want to be a vampire - I do retain my mental faculties
I’m just saying that (and please, lord, let this not elicit any painful twilight quotes) pop culture has done a lot to make becoming a vampire appealing. No one’s trying to make zombies attractive (except Ed Helms).

yeah vampires are more...romantic than others or whatever
but they have always been that way, Lugosi had charm ect
and so did Dracula in the book IIRC
(granted nosferatu did not however)
i've seen 10min of twilight & i can't for the life of me understand why it's so popular
now True Blood i totally get, that show rocks. but sparkle fairies? come on,,,,
you are right, there’s nothing sexy about a dead zombie trying to eat you. it’s just fun though for me, i can’t really explain it.

yeah, they seem like vessels for guilt-free blood-letting to me
which is more fun in videogames than on a TV show. My fears all revolve around death, so I just feel like there’s not a lot of suspense in an army of corpses that have already died, and only so many interesting things to be done.
hmmm, interesting
usually in the things I end up liking or seeing
your “heroes” arnt bad ass stone cold killers just racking up head shots or anything
just mostly people who are kinda “f8cked” and on the run just hanging on tooth and nail
you know what else is boring? you faaaa
no, no, i just can’t do it, not you. even when you’re clearly wrong

"ghost stories" are fundamentally different
culture to culture. it’s so fascinating. the little piece of red thread that’s actually a tongue of a monster waiting for you on the roof. footsteps following you in the dark. strange lights. haunted trees. geckos that are the souls of the departed. Giant bird men things who used to be monks. Smoky dudes in lamps.

I don’t want to say best, but my ideal simpsons episodes are the best ones from season four—kamp krusty, a streetcar named marge, mr. plow, etc. The production value is great, there are some really inventive set-pieces, and the jokes and premises are always on target.
The Simpsons is one of the funniest shows ever written, that said it has never
made me laugh as loud or as consistently as Futurama or South Park does

Best Simpsons episode ever
is Last Exit to Springfield. It’s undisputed. Season 4 and season 5 were the best seasons of comedic television to ever air. Also undisputed.

TLR quote in P-D: Berkman bats 5th/4th
La Russa played down suggestions that Berkman may hit near the top of the batting order. Instead, La Russa believes Berkman a more natural fit as protection for Pujols and cleanup bat Matt Holliday.
“I believe he fits you best in the middle,” La Russa said. “I really believe we just got deeper in the middle of our order. You talk about a track record hitter in the middle and he’s got it. I’d put him in the top five or six in the league. I see him hitting fourth if Matt doesn’t play, fifth if he does.”
