This Week In Twitter: 7/19-7/29

It's been a good week since I've posted anything and alot has gone on both in my life and in the world of sports (especially baseball). I think this is the first time I've even touched my laptop in the past 4 days and I definitely haven't had the time to post anything during that span; a lack of free time is the natural bi-product of working two jobs. I have a plethora of posts planned for this weekend but don't presently have the time to write them. For now I'd like to introduce a new feature on this blog: "This Week In Twitter."

I haven't fully embraced Twitter as a social networking site a la Facebook, but I do find it useful in my quest to be constantly up-to-date on everything baseball. Here are some of my favorite tweets (wow, that word makes me cringe) of the week:

Royals Authority: Father behind me is teaching his son how to play defense using Yuni as an example. Poor kid. A replacement level little leaguer

• In response to Yuniesky Betancourt's general suckitude.

Rays Index: Every time I read/hear "testicular contusion," God kills some of my sperm

• In response to Carl Crawford's unfortunate injury on an errant pickoff throw.

Rany Jazayerli: Not a shutout! In your face, Twinkies! In your face!

• In response to the Royals 19-1 loss to the Twins.

David Snell: Today the Royals' Jason Kendall became the 5th player in ML history to catch 2,000 games. 1,986 of them have been this season.
