Honorable mentions
Special award for the almost British-level use of understated sarcasm.
Looks just as good up close. #Dbacks pic.twitter.com/qUiVGBx8n2

@Dbacks My 16yr old is an organ donor.She says she also wants to donate her tendons to MLB for pitchers needing Tommy John surgery.

When watching parties go bad...
It looks like the watching party at Macayo's went pear-shaped, because nobody mentioned the venue was going to refuse admission to families. A lot of unhappy people on social media.
@Dbacks @MacayosMex so kids can't be in bar cuz of "free beer samples". Yet they are giving samples of shots in the dining area.

@Dbacks @MacayosMex hubby, son and I are in other room. Least we got our prizes. Son is happy with his glove

@Dbacks probably our worst experience at a dbacks event ever. @MacayosMex gave us so many different stories we just left. #NeverAgain
— Mikey (@BobbleheadMikey) August 16, 2014
Really disappointed in Mycayo's today. The last two #dbacks giveaway events here have been solid.

The Games in Diamondback Tweets
But first, the rain-out...
Pouring and I might need an ark to get out of this dugout well, but it could be worse I could be John the policeman pic.twitter.com/vC2cmJRmMn

Diamondbacks 2, Indians 3
Trevor Bauer just got Didi Gregorius to ground out so I guess the Indians win the trade.

The D sure as hell isn't for "defense" today.... #Dbacks

Diamondbacks 1, Indians 0
I guess this is the Cleveland equivalent of "Andre Ethier went to ASU".
Indians radio drinking game- drink every time Hammy says this DBacks pitcher went to Kent State. We'd all be drunk by now

I guess joining the wooooooo really helped there..... woooooooo #dbacks got the lead!!!!

Diamondbacks 3, Marlins 2
1 hour before game time here & there appear to be less than 200 people in seats. In fairness it appears the world is ending outside w/storm

Velocity on Cahill's sinker is a tad better tonight, mainly in the low 90's. It was averaging just under 90 mph for the season #MLB #Dbacks

Diamondbacks 1, Marlins 2
Here we go again with the stupid blocking the plate rule. Identical calls that went against Dbacks catchers just went FOR the Marlins. CRAP
— Laurie Laney (@laurielle628) August 16, 2014
That 3-error inning by the D-backs in which the #Marlins failed to score? Only 6th time that's happened in MLB over past 20 years (Elias)

So far Yard Work would have been the better choice for me this morning... #YardWorkvsDBacksGame @Dbacks
— SnakeBitDave (@SnakeBit4Az) August 17, 2014
Yard work. In Phoenix. In August. Gives you some idea of how much fun this game was...
We all know how you feel, @Dbacks. Sincerely, #2013MarlinsTwitter.

The week in McCarthy Tweets
forgetting to pack my wearable 'NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE WIRE' sandwich board before coming to Baltimore has proven to be disastrous
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) August 12, 2014
are Priceline commercials trying to sell us their services or William Shatner? Cause they make me not want either of them.
— Brandon McCarthy (@BMcCarthy32) August 18, 2014
Finally, even by McCarthy's high standards, this one is probably one of the strangest Tweets of all time, when read with no context. So I'll just leave this here.
@theyearofelan did a woman shit into your convertible or not?
