The Nationals announced that they acquired center fielder Denard Span from the Twins for minor league right-hander Alex Meyer. Alex Meyer is a 6-foot-9 right-hander selected 23rd overall by Washington in the 2011 draft. Twins fans should be excited. This guy is known to be a power pitcher with a lot of upside. Twins owners better check the height of their dugout though.

Last night was a crazy night for Toronto Blue Jays fans. Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie went ballistic after the ump called a couple of questionable strikes. Lawrie spiked his helmetoff the ground and it hit umpire plate umpire Bill Miller. Oops. The ump clearly needs glasses, but you can’t throw tantrums like that in baseball. Watch it here, before they take it down. Then try this link if the YouTube video is pulled.
The game got worse when a drunk fan threw a beer at Miller as the umpires were exciting the field after the game. Click image to watch it in slow motion.

Joe Mauer got engaged over the weekend, and rumor has it that he tore several ligaments when he got down on one knee to propose. The Twins catcher, proposed to fellow Cretin-Derham Hall graduate Maddie Bisanz who is a nurse, so I’m sure he’s in good hands.
So what do you get a baseball player with a $184 million contract? Here are some things that might be on his gift registry.
All kidding aside, Minnesotans are happy for you Joe. Hope you can make it past first base on your wedding night.
Shop Twins and Mauer gear here.
What else do you think is on his registry?
This Texas Rangers fan got a little overconfident. And when that happens, you tend to get a little ahead of yourself. This poor bastard was so sure his team would win the World Series, he had a “World Champs 2011” Rangers tattoo inked on his back. See story.
