Around the Twitterverse: Vicious Towel Attack

It’s time for another installment of Around the Twitterverse! Those cruel Rays players couldn’t let David Price‘s towel attack slide without some clever swipes at him. Elliot Johnson got in on the act:

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes; I appreciate it very much.
Anyone know where to find neck-friendly towels? The ones we have hurt!

Former Ray Dirk Hayhurst was just surprised to hear how it happened:

Price hurt from a vicious towel attack. Hmmm, I suspected a towel whip to the no-no's (been there) shocked to learn it was self inflicted.

Good news for us is that David took the assault in stride:

Players and coaches taking low blows at me...I got something for all this though... http://t.co/aR9b0Zs1

Then he started dishing out the blows himself. Not to fellow players, but to beat writer Marc Topkin:

Nice word usage nerd RT @TBTimes_Rays: In today's @TB_Times, yes, #Rays @DAVIDprice14 really did hurt himself toweling off too vigorously

Moving away from Towel-Gate and onto March Madness. King David Price was proud to see Vanderbilt beat Kentucky for the SEC Title:

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:

Cut for the cure on Thursday. We have 25 guys lined up to shave their heads to benefit the pediatric cancer foundation#fortunefavorsthebald

Then he talks about walk-off wins. I’m sure we will all agree with his sentiments:

Walk off wins are fun no matter if it's pre-season, regular season, post-season, duck season, or wabbit season.

That’s all I have for you in this week’s Around the Twitterverse. Check in next week for some more tweets from your favorite Rays players.
