Bags Drunk?

So I'm scanning some more cards, going through my traders so I can update my wantlists, when I come across this little card. It's one of about 80 or so Topps Black cards I have for trade.
Nothing to special about it, unless you're an O's fan... until I flipped it over and read the back. (yes. I read the backs of my cards...)
"George inherited a bags-drunk/no outs situation..."
Bags-Drunk???? Seriously? Couldn't we have gone the "Sacks Full", or "Ducks on the pond" route instead of some ridiculous hip hop Bags Drunk analogy.
Baseball cards are still for kids, aren't they????

    What the hell... I understand it means bases loaded, but I've never heard the term "bags drunk." I've heard "no, you're drunk," and "not right now, I'm drunk."

    I just lost a little respect for Topps...

    When was the last time you saw a kid buying baseball cards? ;)

    I have heard the term "bags drunk" before, but it is a really awkward phrase to put on a baseball card.
