Great score.

Roch discusses the hot corner
Link here. Interesting non-tender candidate: Kevin Kouzmanoff. Terrible OBP, very good glove. I know, that sounds like Cesar Izturis.

I completely agree with this. The Yankees fans and brass seem to love Gardner/Granderson/Swisher and I’d even guess that Granderson wouldn’t be a Yankee, either.

Yea, that’s my thinking. Crawford would have been snatched up quickly and the Granderson trade would have never happened.

DUCK I KNOW YOU'RE HERE SOMEWHERE
and I need your opinion on Iron Maiden. I’ve got a report on the progression of metal from the 80’s to now due on Tuesday and they seem to be some of the most prolific guys out there that people will recognize. more specifically, what’s your take on the Brave New World album?
this is open to anyone by the way, not just duck…

Progression since the 80's?
I’m pretty sure metal hit it’s peak in the 80’s. It’s all been downhill since.

well see that's part of the point I'm making
what’s changed since then and why? that’s kind of the thing I’m getting at.

Never bought Brave New World
I kinda stopped with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. My fave IM effort is Powerslave, and nothing else is close.

not so fast.
it’s gonna be a tie with MNF deciding.
i did not predict one single late game right today.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
and one more correction
If WAS wins tomorrow night, it will be a 3-way tie for first, instead of 2.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
IF Washington wins, o' course.
Secretly, I’m hoping that happens, but I picked Philly. I’d rather there be a tie. I’d hate to see JB walking away with all of this weekly money, then win the grand prize on top of it.

i'm confused.
when i looked last night, J Britt has 7 points, and had taken PIT in the night game. Now somehow, he has 8 points.
So just ignore everything I wrote above.

Question for those who have read the Walking Dead comics....
Yes or no, will we be introduced to Michonne during Season 1?
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man." ~ The Dude
I think not
it’s 13 episodes and we’re only on 3, but not too much has happened and all of this added stuff has slowed down the pace considerably. not that I’m complaining, but I think the season 1 finale will be them reaching the, ahem, “area”

First season is only 6 episodes, not 13.
…..and y’all probably already know this, but Walking Dead’s second season was picked up earlier this week. And that one will be a full 13 episodes.

even more reason to believe
that Michonne won’t be in season 1. I heard about season 2 being 13 eps, that made me think 1 would be as well I guess. I’m super psyched for the next one though

bummer
When I was watching the previews for next week and they said that there were only three episodes left I was so sad. But when I turned off the episode from the DVR, the channel my TV was on was showing a rerun of Grey’s Anatomy and I saw a very handsome man in a hospital bed saying, “I wanted to go wine tasting in Napa!” and I was immediately cheered.

I’m resisting the urge to go and read too much about the characters online, so as not to spoil anything for myself as I did with The Wire. I had heard about M and was wondering if she may be introduced soon.
