As many of you undoubtedly know by now, Juan Rincon was picked up today by Cleveland, which inked him to a minor league contract. It’s been quite the fall for Rincon, who gave the Twins some solid years of set-up work and one very unfortunate moment in the 2004 ALDS against the Yankees. Game 4, Ruben Sierra took him deep. After that blast, Rincon was quoted as saying: “It’s tough to blow a four-run lead in the eighth. No one wants to be in my pants right now, let me tell you, but you try to get the job done.” It remains one of our favorite quotes ever.

To send things beautifully into the night, we would like to ask you dear readers to create some new expressions that we might laugh at and ease into casual conversation. Something like, “She’s three gravy ladles short of a trumpet.”

Do it for Juan. Do it for the pants.
