Jeffery Dean Morgan ties that, with Supernatural and Grey's Anatomy; it seems like he's been on a lot of other things, too.

The first movie by the filmmakers, Undead, was pretty darn good, IIRC. It seems to have taken a heck of a long time for them to make this second one, but I imagine that's how it works with ambitious indies.

I'm all for it. Granted, I personally find the nominations more worthwhile than the winner - a list of the year's best films is useful and interesting; singling one out often feels arbitrary. I also think that having ten nominees for Best Picture but not the other awards will have positive side...

I figure Fehr is like Scott Boras - for the most part, he does his job extremely well, and most of us would absolutely want him defending our interests should they need defending. He miscalculated a bit where drug testing was concerned, initially valuing privacy over public perception, but it's...

Ah, but is Nick Green a positive influence, or does Julio Lugo's presence just hurt everybody that much?

I don't think I've ever let that bother me. I just take it as a given that 2010 is set in "2010 as imagined in 1980". Heck, yesterday I watched a film that took place in an imaginary 1949; which is sort of pre-dated. It was still an entertaining fantasy; you just have to consider the perspective...

Baseball Reference. Everyone who likes baseball should have it bookmarked. I gather they have sister sites for inferior sports, too. I get a little suspicious of highlight-reel defense sometimes - diving catches just as often indicate poor positioning/range as excellent defense. Maybe...

Nick Green is having the best year of his career at 30. If he were hitting home runs, people would be making ugly accusations. And don't look, but Ortiz has an 1123 OPS for June as of now. The weird thing about short right now is that Lugo and Green are just about even, offensively...

Updated (and still not watching either)

See, I want more cold war sci-fi plots - I think that was a particularly brilliant move on Lucas's part, having Indy's adventures reflect the Saturday matinees of the period (swashbucklers for the 30s, implications of spy work during the war years, paranoid sci-fi in the 50s). It's among the...

It's called "selling high". As good as Saito's been, he's a one-year signing who is probably the highest-risk guy in the pen due to his age and the fact that he's coming off injury. Trading him wouldn't do anything to Boston's long-range plans, and short-term... Well, the shortstop situation...

Only stuff that's out; I generally make a couple Tuesday orders.

The writers had been signed with Fox since well before the rumors of Buena Vista syndiacting the show began, so it's got pretty much no effect.

It's certainly looking like they'll come out of this series against four division leaders (or, at least, four teams that led the division at the start of the series ) in pretty good shape, with the next really difficult-looking opponent coming when they face Toronto and Texas after the all-star...

It's Francona's new brainstorm - play Lugo once a week, and he'll cram a week's worth of production into that game. End, game, end. I've got a pile of screeners to review and this is the second night in a row where my plan to stick one in after the end of the movie has been foiled.
