Rangers get a 21 year old reliever named Mark Hamburger.

Also DFA by the Rangers because of the move, dear friend Jason Ellison. I had no idea he was down there, considering the Rangers have such a glut of outfielders.

Random thought: What headlines would you make for a newspaper for a game started by Strasburg and closed by Hamburger? Extra points for puns.

I like the fact that Eddie was traded for a hamburger

Let's get Ellison!

We need him now that we lost Willie!

And Ichiro likes him!

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

I'd rather they bring up Saunders

They had to send back Hamburger

Eddie would’ve eaten him.

Stras-Hinden-Burg's epic gas ignites collapsing Mairners team; but Hamburg-lar steals win.

I fucking hate you Mariners

I'm happy for him.

Some guys just belong in a certain uniform and Eddie was always a Twin (except when he was a Mariner, Red and Ranger).

Great move for Minny...

Guardado’s not quite toast, yet…

This signature space for rent.

Silva is jealous

If Minny wants him back, they can have him

They won’t, though.

Silva just wants a hamburger of his own

It’d be great if Mark Hamburger took just one appearance and walked 12 guys, took ages between pitches, mixed in a home run or two, threw Eephus pitches, screwballs and then got ejected for throwing a spitter. That would be the best allusion/ode to Neil possible.

Headlines?

“Strasburg Agreement Broken as Twins Fatten Up on Hamburger”

“Strasburg Turns Safeco Into a Cathedral for 8 Innings; Hamburger a Helper”

“Strasburg in Agreement – Rookie’s Poisoned Pitches Produce Pasting of Powerless Pachyderms. Mark Hamburger earned his first save.”

“Strasburg leads Parliament of Dominating Young Starters, Moving to 9-1 on the Year. Mark Hamburger gave up 2 runs, but still earned his 3rd save.”

It’s tough to get both into one; puns about Strasbourg don’t seem to mesh well with puns about hamburgers.
