I really can’t describe how I am feeling.
I literaly had chills when I read it.

I’m getting them as I type this.

I haven’t been this excited since Beltran was signed.

;-( weeps a little, but thinks Jonah is pretty yummy too.

Where’s Shea, she promised me we’d track Gomez down if we had to cover the whole state of Florida . . . but … but …. but don’t the Twins train in AZ???

I’m sorry to say, I’m pretty sure they’re in AZ. We’ll find you another nice Latino boycrush, VMF.

There trying to say the Mets contract negotiations is holding it up. Its there way of not having to admit it right now, lol

I don’t think anybody has to worry about that. It may be for more money than Omar hoped but he’ll get him signed. It’s too late to back out now.

I do too. 100%, but till he signs its not done.

The parameters to the trade are agreed upon. Santana only waives his no-trade after they reach a contract agreement.

Fatcessa doesn’t care what it costs, and doesn’t care about the prospects. But we care about him… why again?

because it wouldnt be a geek thread without a tv post:

It’s official. Everyone in this town has heard from someone—their writer friend, agent or dog sitter’s ex-boyfriend—that the strike “should” end sometime this week (as evidenced by the comments to yesterday’s “Rumor Patrol” story).

I wanted to let you know that at this point, we TV fans should be cautiously optimistic—with a big emphasis on the word cautiously. Because despite the rampant rumor that “the end is coming,” a few inside sources report today that they have heard the latest WGA/AMPTP proposed deal has not been accepted. So, let’s hope for the best but…you know the rest.

What’s more, I’m hearing from a few show-runner types that it may already be (hope you’re sitting down for this) too late for some series to put together more episodes for the current season, including one particular show we fans adore: Pushing Daisies.

“Lots of talk has been going down this past week,” Daisies boss Bryan Fuller told me earlier today. “Essentially, even if the strike is resolved in the next week or two, we wouldn’t be back until next season. There was a preliminary conversation that involved a plan to hit the ground running and try to get episodes on the air as soon as possible, but it no longer seems like that’s going to happen. It seems most likely that we will have a very short first season and then come back in the fall for a proper season two.”

Ned and Chuck and Olive, we’ll miss ye.

On the flip side, other shows seem to be holding out some hope that they will be able to produce more episodes if the strike ends soon, such as Desperate Housewives honcho Marc Cherry.

“It depends upon when the strike ends,” Cherry told me Sunday at the SAG Awards, “but if it were very soon, I think maybe I could cram in seven episodes [before the end of the season]. It would take us about two weeks to get back into production. I’m chomping at the bit. The moment the starting pistol is fired, I’m off and running. I’m ready to go, I just need the okay [from the union].”
