February 11, 200521 yr This is from the Mpls. Startribune -- Sid Hartman's column. Twins outfielder Torii Hunter said he only can imagine his first time at the plate against the White Sox with former Twins catcher A.J. Pierzynski behind the plate. "I would expect A.J. to say, 'Torii watch out for that slider, Torii watch out for that fastball.' The only way to get A. J. taken care of is to take him out at the plate." Bring it!
February 11, 200521 yr A good way to get Hunter, other than beating his team of course, would be to drill him right in the ribs. Next time, in the back. Next time, below the waist. Etc. If you yap to the press about wanting to take another player "out", you're fair game.
February 11, 200521 yr It's kinda cool having AJ on the team now b/c it gives us a bit of an attitude. Hunter can kiss my ass if he wants to though, b/c if he goes after AJ, AJ will DEFINITELY get back at him.
February 11, 200521 yr Mike Jackson Pussed out the first game back.. Its over and done with IMO.. The Sox had a chance to make a statement.. and instead laid down.
February 11, 200521 yr He takes one guy out at the plate and he thinks he's Pete Rose! Give me a break!!!
February 11, 200521 yr Torii vs. an unsuspecting 6'0" 220 Jamie Burke or a wary 6'3" 245 AJ Pierzynski?

Ozzie should have pulled him as soon as he didn't stick up for his teammate, friend or no friend. He's now gone.

February 11, 200521 yr best way to shut him up is the way the Yankees always do it -- beat his butt. Jose is gone. We could do without the yappers.
February 12, 200521 yr I'm sure AJ will have something to say about it soon enough. Just as I'm sure more than one such play will occur in 2005. I find it reassuring that Tori has us on his mind considering all the analysts have CLE as the real threat to the Twins
February 12, 200521 yr i thought it was a good play by Tori and Ozzie would agreed i just wish it wouldnt of happened to a guy like Burke stand up guy. He should of ran into Ben Davis.
February 12, 200521 yr Well, atleast noone within this thread has yet to reply: "Twins are three time division champions. Until someone beats them, they have the right to say whatever they want." I hope Guillen has conditioned his players not to issue similar statements in the media. Last few years, Koch and Valentin (especially) have spouted off about Minnesota's "lucky bounces."

February 12, 200521 yr QUOTE(El Piervizdyeguchansodnik @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 08:06 PM) LOL Minnesota starts the fireworks this year. I guess you could say that's a good thing. We always were the first ones to say something. It seemed like the thing that worked for the Twins in the past was that they didn't worry about us. If Torii wants them worry about us this year, fine by me.
February 12, 200521 yr Well we know there's gonna be a brawl in the first Sox-Twins series this year. Bank it. Somebody save this thread so we can recall the start of the brawl. GO SOX.
February 12, 200521 yr I always love brawls, especially with the Twins. I like wathin baseball and I'm in the Twins viewing area but 2 years ago they were in brawls with the Sox, Royals, Tigers, Indians, Devil Rays, and I believe the Brewers. Even though most are/were divison rivals, a lot of the teams don't really like the players.
February 12, 200521 yr Yea, I love brawls. I would give anything for a brawl between the Twins n Sox. I want us to finally show some fire.

I doubt there will be any brawl but I hope so, this new team needs to come together and believe in each other. If that happens that would be great, no matter by how much their losing they should always believe they can come back like in 2000.
