IN: There has been some talk that the Dodgers may go after a Varitek or a pitcher - oriented catcher , which would free Martin from behind the plate and take his athleticism to third base , where the coaches feel he could also be an All - Star , a move Torre , Todd Zeile and Craig Biggio all made successfully . Let 's put this out here plain and clear : Jason Varitek is cooked . Toast .
What is meant by Varitek being " cooked toast " ?

OUT: He wo n't be promoted most likely .

IN: I look over my shoulder and the man is sweating like two rats in a wool sock ; very Flashdance - esque . Finally he and his stench leave . I look over at the treadmill . It 's covered in sweat .
What might be a fact about the person in this situation ?

OUT: They were waiting on equipment that someone else was using .

IN: I have to find a place by October 1st . Every spare minute I have is put into filling out applications , calling places , doing research , and emailing prospects . Between my appointments and apartment hunting , I do n't have enough time or energy to do it all .
Why do you need to find a place by October 1st ?

OUT:
I have to find a place by October 1st because I need an apartment to stay by then .
