Late Tuesday night, some Phillies fans conspired to put a scare into an unsuspecting Hunter Pence:
Twitter traded Hunter Pence to the Red Sox Tuesday night
So, so cruel.


Ok, 1130pm we all start tweeting Hunter Pence to congratulate him on the trade to Boston.

...and it probably gave Pence a real scare, but he wised up soon enough:
Pretty good try everyone...kinda cruel, but well played.
— Hunter Pence (@hunterpence) July 31, 2013
Yeah, that is pretty cruel, but at least he took it in stride. These days leading up to the MLB trade deadline get very dark indeed.
