Hey, Jacque, Next Time Keep Your Eyes Open

Batgirl's close personal friend Sid Hartman has this juicy tidbit from Sweetcheeks:

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."

What else might AJ say to various Twins when he's behind the plate?

hmmm - i seemed to have lapped and gone back to the beginning of last season...

...not that last season wasn't a good one, but I was looking forward to THIS season...

...though I could CRUSH on the wagering front... can you bet on Sweeney taking one off the back?

"Nice A$$"

Hey--he was in San Fransisco!
Kidding, I loved AJ when he was here.

AJ (while at bat) to Mauer: "I'll foul it off to the warning track behind you and you see if you can get it."

OK, that might be too mean, even for AJ.

Yours,

While I loved AJ when he was here, I'm still very bitter about him going to the Bitch Sox of all teams. I say, go ahead and take him out at the plate, Torii!

It's too bad they've got the DH to deal with....I would love to hear the banter between AJ and our pitching staff while they were batting.

AJ: Matt, have you lost weight?
LeCroy: [watching a low fastball] ...
AJ: You look great, buddy! Really fit and trim!
LeCroy: [taking a cut at some high heat] ...
AJ: Everybody's talking about it. That and your wife.
LeCroy: [fouling one off] ...
AJ: And your tapeworms.
LeCroy: [accidentally bunting to the mound, and getting tagged out by the pitcher] Tapeworms!?!

To Lew Ford: "So, you're a little guy . . . want some flaxseed oil that Barry Bonds gave me? He says it's done wonders for him."

Aj to Mauer: Since i was in the National league last year i didn't hear how you faired? Oh..you missed practically the entire season? Thats why they call that the mauer death strip...I didn't know cuz i was to busy playing for the team i got traded to.

Aj to Torii: I saw what you did to the bitch sox catcher last year...so...did you hear about what i did to Conte? That could be you...Don't attempt it.

I understand that these things are bitter...because i am still somewhat bitter that we got rid of him in the first place...I loved and still do love ajp dearly...He got me into watching baseball..

AJ to Torii: "So, has Batgirl said anything to you about me lately?"

AJ to Mauer: "Wanna know how to get on Gardy's good side?"

AJ to Cuddyer: "Cuddy Bear! They found a position for you, yet?"

AJ to Jacque: "Start your swing now, JJ. Slider, low and away."

AJ to Castro: (looks puzzled)

AJ to LeCroy: "Oh, I've been dying for you to come up to bat, man. I got a can of worms in my locker and 50 bucks that says you can't eat the whole mess of 'em in the parking lot after the game...."

AJ to Rivas: "You still here? Huh. OK, call your pitch, hombre. Here it comes."

AJ to Stewart: (respectful nod), "Hey, man. 'Sup? You know Sooz and Batgirl, right? Have they been sayin' anything about me since I've been gone?"

AJ to Mauer: Future of the franchise, my ass. You're too quiet to be a superstar catcher.

AJ to Morneau: I knew Dougie. I played with Dougie. You, sir, are no Dougie. (As Morneau smacks one in the upper decks.)

AJ to Torii: You're still here? Those must be some great photos you have of Mr. Pohlad with a midget, a pony and a jacuzzi full of jello.

AJ to Punto: So, did you hear the one about the midget, pony and a jacuzzi full of jello? The punchline is, the midget gets eaten.
