Riley-ism “Deal” Rubbing Off on Media, Fans, etc.

Over the past three years, I've seen a lot of fans and media using the word "deal" in their comments, reporting, etc.

Today Cliff Kirkpatrick fell victim: http://cliffkirkpatrick.mvourtown.com/2012/03/28/spring-preview-lb/

"That’s a common deal for all teams."

We use it here as a joke, calling his failures a "neat deal", but fans and media have been using it in droves and in a serious manner. It's my duty to make people aware that they're repeating the coach's Mayberry lingo, and it's highly annoying. Job done. Carry on.

He's close but needs one more year. I can't see an NBA squad taking him in the first round.

Beavs showed resiliency and fight in game 1. Those are intangible trademarks of good teams. First win like that for some of these younger guys, so that will help build their confidence to the level of the veterans. Beavers have a better offense than in years past. When Jake Rodriguez is hitting 9th, you know the lineup is stacked.

Game 2 starter, Dan Child, has quietly pitched to a 1.65 ERA in 32 innings this year. The team ERA dipped below 4 tonight, which is a promising sign. Usually the arms are ahead of bats, but this year might be the other way around…

Game time is 2:05PT.
