Ryan Zimmerman still doesn't have a contract extension with the Nationals despite his self-imposed Saturday deadline. The third baseman isn't preoccupied by the talks because he is signed through the 2013 season. "If it happens, I'm thrilled," Zimmerman said. "If not, I've got two years left here still. I'm excited for this year. We've got a great team. We've got a chance to do something special, something we've done with this organization. I think all of us are kind of ready to get to work and get going. "It's not like this is the last year. It's not make-or-break. Getting this done would obviously make them not have to worry about it this year or next year or next offseason. It gives us a core group of guys in place for a long time. They could forget about me and start taking care of the younger guys that are going to need to be taken care of."
