Let's roleplay for a second and please not with those late night costumes.  It's 2 a.m.--are you sure no late night costumes?  Dude, no.  Anyway it's 2 a.m. over the weekend and you're in desperate need to pick up another guy for your playoff matchup when you see that Vidal Nuno went 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 2 BBs, 10 Ks in his last start.  "HOT DAMN," you think.  "Just what I needed!" as you decided to quote The Cars.  Not the Staples commercial jingle?  That's the same song, I wanted to imagine you random people as cultured.  Anyway, I wanted to get a chance to warn you fellas before taking the dive into the Nuno abyss.  Why?  Because Nuno is most likely returning to the bullpen as James Paxton returns this weekend.  But let's imagine that he gets a few more chances in the Seattle staff.  In his six starts this year, he's allowed at least 4 ER twice, and hadn't fanned over five batters before last night's marvel.  What I'm trying to get at is Nuno isn't anyone's answer, I want to make sure your late night self is still capable of resisting temptation, which definitely includes putting on that late night Jon Snow costume.
