Dallas Morning News reporter tweets “Darvish through 15 bitches,” spawning a meme

Typos happen to the best of us, but Evan Grant found a particularly embarrassing one Monday. Grant, the Texas Rangers’ beat writer for the Dallas Morning News, was covering Yu Darvish’s first full-mound session since offseason Tommy John surgery, and tried to tweet about the 15 pitches Darvish threw. He tweeted…something else.

Darvish through 15 bitches off before mound felt good

Grant’s tweet quickly went viral, and he had the good sense to own it rather than deleting it:

Darvish threw 15 pitches off mound. No female dogs were harmed. I am terribly sorry. Can I blame Siri?

The only time I'm funny is when it is completely unintentional

For me, apparently speaking is even harderer. https://t.co/dWEnfv6lo5

This is the best part, though:

And … it's become a meme. #blessed Thanks @mycoskie pic.twitter.com/jyliHVWTli

No dogs were harmed by Yu Darvish or anyone else in the making of this post.
