My new game

It's a sloooowww day at work, and still no baseball for another 40 minutes, so I've been entertaining myself with a new game. The rules are simple: paste some text into the Google Translator; translate it to German; translate the output to French; and finally translate that back to English. Loads o' fun -- it's like a game of Telephone, for people with no friends. People like me.

Here's the translated first paragraph of an earlier post of mine discussing whether Mariano Rivera should get the Cy Young:

There is recently a quantity of conversation on of Mariano Rivera that the boy receives ALCy this year; p. e.g. here, here and on BBTN. It seems ridiculous on its face. For a thing all the supports Harold Reynolds is stupidly jumped to be. Moreover, MOS on the stage aiming to deform it 72 Inn-Ing rights which is really really weak. More this one, a bad year for Al-Choke is not; * while none solid mass standouts, Roy Halladay and one to mark right Buerhle to dominate (although Halladays to wound), and Barry Zito to leave late unstoppable (8 profit and an ERA 2,33 in its last 8 beginning). Lastly, there is the obvious problem that it is a jug of relief. Eric Gagne received boy Cy 2003, but there were two special circumstances, year: (1) was it a bad year for of NL-Pitching, only Prior marking and Jason Schmidt which has even a probability; and (2) Gains it had 55 stores (10 more than its naehster competitor, John Smoltz) and zero stores puffed up. It was more this band which all, received to it him Cy. the MOS on a stage for 44, but Wickman, Hermanson, Nathan and Guardado would have on which stores also maintenance much. He two stores more obviously roasted.

Damn, that's like 100 times better than the original. And the phrase "there is the obvious problem that it is a jug of relief" may be the single best thing I have ever written. Maybe I should start writing like that all the time.
