Irresistible Force Meets Movable Object

I didn't watch the Democratic rave last night. From the reports of the key note speeches that I've read today, it sounds like they must have had buckets of Ecstasy near the podium to fuel the lovefest. Al loves Bill. Jimmy loves everyone. Hil loves Bill. Bill loves Bill. And of course, now they all love John.

No, instead I was watching baseball. Watching your first place Minnesota Twins apply a little hurt to the White Stockings of Chicago by virtue of a 6-2 beating. A beating that was highlighted by Torii Hunter absolutely destroying White Sox catcher Jamie Burke in a collision at the plate in the eighth inning. This picture doesn't come anywhere near capturing the violence of the impact, and, to fully appreciate it, you need to hear the sound of Burke being knocked silly:




It was a beautiful thing. And after the play, Torii still had a little something left for the bitter South Side fans in Chicago:

Hunter was booed by fans after his play and jawed with a couple fans while standing in the on-deck circle in the ninth, leading to one fan being taken out of the park by security.

"Someone started talking about taking my life," Hunter said. "Don't be scared. I was hoping he would come on the field so I could whup his butt. That's a free butt-whupping."


Butt-licking in Boston or butt-whupping in Chicago? I think I made the right call.
