TORII HUNTER IS A BABY

During last night's dome debacle, which we needn't get into, Bonser couldn't keep the fastball low, Garland threw I think a total of maybe 17 pitches all night, the Twins hit more grounders than a coach doing infield practice, etc. Torri Hunter caused the stir of the game when he pissed and moaned after the game after being plunked by Juan "Headhunter" Rincon.

"Maybe, maybe not," Hunter said when asked if he thought Rincon was throwing at him. "I kind of have mixed feelings. When he came [to the Twins], we clicked pretty good. Maybe they had a bet on who would hit Torii first."

OK, let's get a few things straight here. Firstly, you're not George Foreman, so if you ever refer to yourself in the third person again, I'm going to show that play where you blew Game 2 for us against the A's on loop. What a classy move, come back to the place that gave you a career, get plunked, and act like a martyr about it. Torii's probably thinking the Twins did this to take the bat out of his hands, but the way he's swinging, we might as well do that Rookie of the Year "float it" pitch to him.
