			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s time for another installment of Around the Twitterverse! Those cruel Rays players couldn&#8217;t let <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/priceda01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">David Price</a></strong>&#8216;s towel attack slide without some clever swipes at him. <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsel02.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Elliot Johnson</a></strong> got in on the act:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes; I appreciate it very much.Anyone know where to find neck-friendly towels? The ones we have hurt!</p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/178313326726623232" data-datetime="2012-03-10T02:56:24+00:00">March 10, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Former Ray <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hayhudi01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Dirk Hayhurst</a></strong> was just surprised to hear how it happened:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Price hurt from a vicious towel attack. Hmmm, I suspected a towel whip to the no-no&#8217;s (been there) shocked to learn it was self inflicted.</p>
<p>— Dirk Hayhurst (@TheGarfoose) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheGarfoose/status/178182605315899392" data-datetime="2012-03-09T18:16:58+00:00">March 9, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Good news for us is that David took the assault in stride:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Players and coaches taking low blows at me&#8230;I got something for all this though&#8230; <a title="http://lockerz.com/s/190977994" href="http://t.co/aR9b0Zs1">lockerz.com/s/190977994</a></p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/178183046988697600" data-datetime="2012-03-09T18:18:43+00:00">March 9, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Then he started dishing out the blows himself. Not to fellow players, but to beat writer Marc Topkin:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Nice word usage nerd RT @<a href="https://twitter.com/TBTimes_Rays">TBTimes_Rays</a>: In today&#8217;s @<a href="https://twitter.com/TB_Times">TB_Times</a>, yes, <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%2523Rays">#Rays</a> @<a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14">DAVIDprice14</a> really did hurt himself toweling off too vigorously</p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/178119825594388483" data-datetime="2012-03-09T14:07:30+00:00">March 9, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Moving away from Towel-Gate and onto March Madness. King David Price was proud to see Vanderbilt beat Kentucky for the SEC Title:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>yessssssssssss!!! Who ya with?? That&#8217;s right!!! Go Vanderbilt!!!! hahaha I&#8217;m pummpppeedddd</p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/178921617433432064" data-datetime="2012-03-11T19:13:32+00:00">March 11, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Congrats fellas!!!! Good luck in the tourney I&#8217;ll be rooting y&#8217;all on!!@<a href="https://twitter.com/StevieThunder33">StevieThunder33</a> @<a href="https://twitter.com/fezzyfel">fezzyfel</a> @<a href="https://twitter.com/JohnnyCashVU23">JohnnyCashVU23</a></p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/179184356454178816" data-datetime="2012-03-12T12:37:34+00:00">March 12, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>BJ Upton wants to help Rays fans in their bracket pools:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Check out my NCAA Bracket &#8211; if you want to win your pool I got you &#8211; <a title="http://atmlb.com/zPja8u" href="http://t.co/aoyLrkQl">atmlb.com/zPja8u</a></p>
<p>— BJ Upton (@BJUPTON2) <a href="https://twitter.com/BJUPTON2/status/179331449307136001" data-datetime="2012-03-12T22:22:03+00:00">March 12, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>I will leave you with a couple tweets from Elliot Johnson. First, he tells us of the Cut for a Cure fundraiser going on Thursday:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Cut for the cure on Thursday. We have 25 guys lined up to shave their heads to benefit the pediatric cancer foundation<a href="https://twitter.com/search/%2523fortunefavorsthebald">#fortunefavorsthebald</a></p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/179245442800959488" data-datetime="2012-03-12T16:40:18+00:00">March 12, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Then he talks about walk-off wins. I&#8217;m sure we will all agree with his sentiments:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Walk off wins are fun no matter if it&#8217;s pre-season, regular season, post-season, duck season, or wabbit season.</p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/178937638890377216" data-datetime="2012-03-11T20:17:12+00:00">March 11, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s all I have for you in this week&#8217;s Around the Twitterverse. Check in next week for some more tweets from your favorite Rays players.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring Training officially got underway last Monday, but the first full squad workout was Sunday. The twitterverse was alive with tweets from Rays players on their first day of workouts. Matt Joyce bestows a high honor on <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodrise01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Sean Rodriguez</a></strong>:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>First day down, awesome to finally have all the guys there and have a full workout!I think Sean rod won player of the day award..</p>
<p>— <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/joycema01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Matthew Joyce</a></strong> (@sweetswingin20) <a href="https://twitter.com/sweetswingin20/status/173924120382287872" data-datetime="2012-02-27T00:15:16+00:00">February 27, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/longoev01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Evan Longoria</a></strong> is counting down the days until the first spring training game on Saturday:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>1st day of spring training down! Few more practice days before we get to strap em on for real for the first time.</p>
<p>— Evan Longoria (@Evan3Longoria) <a href="https://twitter.com/Evan3Longoria/status/173915805740838912" data-datetime="2012-02-26T23:42:13+00:00">February 26, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lobatjo01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Jose Lobaton</a></strong> says this is the year for the Rays:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Good afternoon. Today was a great day, the team look good, everybody work hard. This is gonna be a good year for the rays, BELIEVE IT!</p>
<p>— Jose Lobaton (@JLobaton21) <a href="https://twitter.com/JLobaton21/status/173913592813453312" data-datetime="2012-02-26T23:33:26+00:00">February 26, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Moving on from Sunday, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsel02.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">Elliot Johnson</a></strong> was all a-Twitter this week. Johnson had a good assessment of the Rays pitching staff, from a batter&#8217;s point of view:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Day 3 of live BP from our pitchers and let me tell you, if your jersey says &#8220;Rays&#8221; on it, then you can really play. These guys are good!</p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/174597961219715072" data-datetime="2012-02-28T20:52:52+00:00">February 28, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Johnson&#8217;s very useful fantasy baseball advice:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>“@<a href="https://twitter.com/kyty111">kyty111</a>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9">ElliotJohnson9</a> expecting big things this year for my fantasy baseball squad&#8230;&#8221;Pick up Longo and you&#8217;re off to a good start bro</p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/174619758640103425" data-datetime="2012-02-28T22:19:29+00:00">February 28, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>One final tweet from Johnson, giving props to Pirates pitcher AJ Burnett:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Props to AJ Burnett for taking care of McCutchen for giving up his #34 and starting a college fund for McCutchen&#8217;s soon to be born daughter.</p>
<p>— Elliot Johnson (@ElliotJohnson9) <a href="https://twitter.com/ElliotJohnson9/status/174618684277530626" data-datetime="2012-02-28T22:15:13+00:00">February 28, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Finally we arrive at the Rays Twitter king. As usual, <strong><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/priceda01.shtml?utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_campaign=Linker" target="_blank">David Price</a></strong> had things to say on Twitter this week.</p>
<p>First up, an interesting tweet from Price. If you were in Florida today, you know what he is talking about:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>The sun was not playin today!! Out there Willie Beamin&#8230;turning me from caramel to light chocolate&#8230;don&#8217;t burn and don&#8217;t get crunchy</p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/174558351366172672" data-datetime="2012-02-28T18:15:28+00:00">February 28, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>We have some good news on David Price&#8217;s arm-it hasn&#8217;t fallen off:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Its still attached so im happy!! RT @<a href="https://twitter.com/DJPeltz8">DJPeltz8</a>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14">DAVIDprice14</a> how&#8217;s the arm feeling this spring?</p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/174558447575109632" data-datetime="2012-02-28T18:15:51+00:00">February 28, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Tune in next week for more tweets from your favorite Rays players. I will leave you with David Price&#8217;s positive outlook on life:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>If im breathin im smilin&#8230;everyday is a good day for me!! <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%2523lovinlife">#lovinlife</a> RT @<a href="https://twitter.com/pankow22">pankow22</a>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14">DAVIDprice14</a> Hi David!! how is your day going?? : )</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of Rays players have had things to say about the start of the 2012 season this week on Twitter. I think David Price says it best:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>And it&#8217;s here&#8230;.baseball season has arrived</p>
<p>— David Price (@DAVIDprice14) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAVIDprice14/status/171929101437894656" data-datetime="2012-02-21T12:07:46+00:00">February 21, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Evan Longoria says it in a bit longer form:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Really good to be back in PC for spring. Excited to meet new teammates and catch up w guys from last year</p>
<p>— Evan Longoria (@Evan3Longoria) <a href="https://twitter.com/Evan3Longoria/status/172435514056646657" data-datetime="2012-02-22T21:40:04+00:00">February 22, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Matt Joyce is ready for a new season:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>So I&#8217;ve landed in port charollette, just saw a couple of the guys&#8230; So pumped for big year!</p>
<p>— Matthew Joyce (@sweetswingin20) <a href="https://twitter.com/sweetswingin20/status/171738681462366209" data-datetime="2012-02-20T23:31:07+00:00">February 20, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Jose Lobaton also is pumped, but I can&#8217;t understand half of his tweet:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>In port charlotte. Ready to start spring training tomorrow. Voy a mi! Porq DIOS esta de mi lado&#8230;</p>
<p>— Jose Lobaton (@JoseLobaton31) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoseLobaton31/status/171707293015097344" data-datetime="2012-02-20T21:26:23+00:00">February 20, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Now moving away from the Spring Training hype, Sam Fuld has a reaction to the new &#8220;Maddon Rule&#8221; I talked about this morning:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Sadly no more pitching auditions I suppose.RT@<a href="https://twitter.com/Pincus25">Pincus25</a>: @<a href="https://twitter.com/SamFuld5">SamFuld5</a> u made the rule book! <a href="https://twitter.com/search/%2523Rays">#Rays</a> <a title="http://sbn.to/xtrQP7" href="http://t.co/MiCBhux4">sbn.to/xtrQP7</a></p>
<p>— Sam Fuld(@SamFuld5) <a href="https://twitter.com/SamFuld5/status/172454035419439104" data-datetime="2012-02-22T22:53:40+00:00">February 22, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Finally, I leave you with three tweets from Dirk Hayhurst. Hayhurst has high praise for Joe Maddon:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>I&#8217;d like to be Maddon&#8217;s personal assistant, just so I could learn his gift for finding positive mental angles selling them on others.</p>
<p>— Dirk Hayhurst (@TheGarfoose) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheGarfoose/status/171815651781001216" data-datetime="2012-02-21T04:36:58+00:00">February 21, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Watch the Maddon/Friedman blurb and listen to the control and poise. That&#8217;s a skipper, speaking real words that make sense. So rare! — Dirk Hayhurst (@TheGarfoose) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheGarfoose/status/171817575867617281" data-datetime="2012-02-21T04:44:36+00:00">February 21, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Hayhurst&#8217;s take on DJ Kitty:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Rays new mascot&#8230;. Oh lawdy, JP Howel is going to love this! <a title="http://yfrog.com/oc82808724j" href="http://t.co/2zfkOW1s">yfrog.com/oc82808724j</a></p>
<p>— Dirk Hayhurst (@TheGarfoose) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheGarfoose/status/171781366944514048" data-datetime="2012-02-21T02:20:44+00:00">February 21, 2012</a></p></blockquote>
<p>That was this week in the Rays Twitterverse. Tune in next week for more tweets from your favorite Rays players.</p>
