Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Royals - DFAed Ramirez
Kansas City Royals - Designed P Horacio Ramirez for assignment.
The original plan was to put Ramirez adrift in the ocean and let God sort it out, but upon further reflection, the Royals realized that simply releasing Ramirez back into the wild could possibly result in their hitters getting to face him at some point, a shot in the arm that the 13th-ranked Royal offense sorely needs. Also, the MLB CBA does not allow contracts to be assigned in this manner, a clause reinforced when baseball foiled Woody Woodward’s plot to have Greg Hibbard garroted at an In-N-Out Burger, his corpse then being deposited into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

1. The Keith Law Blog Blah Blah (battlekow) Posted: June 06, 2009 at 11:34 PM (#3208951)There are no In-N-Out Burgers in Washington.
Which makes it all the more plausible that Woody Woodward would have made this plan...
I think you're confusing In-N-Out with Red Robin. A Lounge search for In-N-Out finds very few references by him and those that do exist say things such as: "The [Five Guys] burgers are very good, but the fries, while copious, do little for me. It is better than In-N-Out, though, although my INO experience is limited to the Bay Area and Vegas and I’ve heard it suggested that it’s different in the Bay than LA. "
On the other hand, Mugh has a spreadsheet of every single Red Robin he has ever visited and several of them are in fact located in the state of Washington - several of which are even in his hometown of Seattle.
Seriously? This is the best thing ever. Does he rank them or what?
Seriously? Red Robin?
Mug is a little eccentric. Plus, he REALLY hates being told he can't have any more fries.
In-N-Out is pretty much the only burger I'll eat. They're great. I didn't used to like the fries until somebody told me you can ask for them "well done", to get them nice and crisp. My standard order at In-N-Out is double-meat, no cheese, grilled onions, no tomatoes, with fries well done.
I'm sure I've described my standard order in the lounge on multiple occasions, and now it's on the mainland, too.
Mug raves about In-and-Out, though there are none in Washington.
Mug visits Red Robins in various places he travels, though I don't think I'd call it a passion, much less an obsession.
Mug is a native of the Spokane area, not Seattle.
Greg Hibbard was quite useful in 1995.He was the guy who the M's erplaced on the postseason roster with Bob Wolcott, who then won the first game of the ALCS with the Indians. I believe it was the first use of that silly rule that lets you replace someone on the 60-day DL with someone who wasn't on your 40-man.
Gold.
He's never gotten to the tri-state to activate our plan to visit the Clifton, NJ location.
That level of adoration for the Whiskey River burger cannot be faked.
I'm a Five Guys guy. Who doesn't love when an order of large fries gives you enough awesome fries to fill up a garbage bag?
People who like good fries?
My question about Mug now: was he a big fan of REM or Crowded House?
I remember he's the resident Lounge Zeppelin superfan, and everyone of course remembers all that time he argued that Wings was a much better group than the Beatles. He even convinced a few people I think.
Perhaps, Nasby's subtelty has been his undoing.
I was in Wooster all last summer and evidently I missed this place. :(
It's a high-quality burger, but the fried chicken basket is the waitress's mother's favorite.
