Minor funny

OK you have to be a Twins fan to get this. But I thought it was kind of funny.


Pierzynski's's spin


Former Twins catcher A.J. Pierzynski, after watching Liriano on Sunday, had an interesting take. "They got Joe Nathan, Liriano and Boof Bonser ... for ME!" he boasted.

In November 2003, the Twins traded Pierzynski to the Giants for three pitchers, who became an All-Star closer and two top prospects. Pierzynski, who was released by San Francisco after one season and is now with the White Sox, playfully suggested it was an even trade.


I just thought this was kind of funny. I remember thinking back then that this was a dumb trade. I thought, why do we need another relief pitcher? I had no clue Nathan would turn into a top closer and this Liriano guy would turn out to be good. Does anyone know who this Boof guy is? It would be great if he’d make the team. Who names there kid Boof?

Anyway, 9 months are just about up. 4 days left here in FL.
