According to Jake Mauer, manager of the GCL Twins, Joe Mauer is still fighting off the lingering effects of a cold. As the elder Mauer told Sports Headliners on Tuesday, Joe has been suffering from this festering illness for “two weeks” and has been noticeably “slowed down.” We’ve certainly noticed that “slowing down,” haven’t we?

Joe Mauer is a great baseball player. I don’t think you’ll have very much difficulty convincing anyone of that. On the season, Mauer has hit ten home runs in just 23 games. He is hitting an insane 1 HR/8 AB so far in 2009. While his season started late because of his recovery from kidney [...]
Which No. 7 Should Be Leading the Minnesota Vikings?
Posted: 13th September 2008 by vacant in Humor, Joe MauerFrom Dan Wade, of Bleacher Report. After Tavaris Jackson’s game-ending interception, many Vikings fans were left wondering if they would once again be forced to watch a team with one critical piece missing: a QB that can lead a team. The question becomes: If not Jackson, who should captain the Vikings? Gus Ferrote? Please, surely [...]
Blackburn Roughed Up
Posted: 24th August 2008 by vacant in Alexi Casilla, Carlos Gomez, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Nick BlackburnI came into tonight planning an article on how Twins pitchers have gone above and beyond this series and what it might mean for this 14 day road trip. Then Blackburn started tonight. I guess the Angel offense that was brilliantly stifled the previous two days chose today to explode out of their recent poor [...]
Just Not Our Night
Posted: 19th August 2008 by vacant in Craig Breslow, Denard Span, Game Thoughts, Jesse Crain, Joe Mauer, Joe Nathan, Nick BlackburnFirst off, I apologize for the abbreviated posting these past few days. I have been really busy, which I’m sure will die down eventually. -Blackburn had a great night tonight. He did give up three runs on six hits, but managed his pitch count very well and lasted through the eighth inning. His pitch count [...]
Another Flip-Flop in the Central
Posted: 13th August 2008 by vacant in Adam Everett, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Nick BlackburnWhy is it that the Twins can’t hit against Mussina? I just don’t get it…well, here are some other thoughts: -Man these Yankee batters take a long time to get out. Blackburn threw a ton of balls early tonight and found himself with a pitch count of 102 with two outs in the fifth inning. [...]
Should Have Seen This Coming
Posted: 26th July 2008 by vacant in Adam Everett, Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Livan Hernandez, Nick PuntoI should have seen it coming. Livan away from home = ugly. Here are some thoughts: -The obvious story is the injury of Gomez. It was Hernandez’s goal to kill his outfielders tonight, but I’ll get into that later. Gomez slammed into the outfield wall while tracking a ball, and left a few minutes later [...]
A Loss That Stings
Posted: 20th July 2008 by vacant in Carlos Gomez, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Scott BakerI am once again experiencing a sour taste in my mouth right now, so let’s just dive into some thoughts before anybody gets hurt: -Baker was the obvious story this afternoon. He went a stellar eight innings against one of the most potent offenses in MLB, and limited them to only one run on two [...]
Offensive Outburst Led by Morneau and Mauer
Posted: 20th July 2008 by vacant in Alexi Casilla, Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Livan Hernandez, OffensiveWhat an offensive outburst tonight! The Twins picked up another win, and gained a game on the unusually quiet offenses of the Chicago White Sox. Here are some thoughts: -Forget everything I said about Gomez yesterday and today. He had two hits today and drove in one run. He needs to stay with Minnesota. Seriously [...]
Quick-Style
Posted: 13th July 2008 by vacant in Brendan Harris, Brian Bass, Game Thoughts, Joe Mauer, Scott BakerThree in a row! Minnesota has pulled off their third straight one-run game, but it still goes a long way to re-proving to me that the Boston series was a fluke. Baker had a very solid game, going seven innings giving up only four runs. Behind the hot bat of Brendan Harris, who went 3-3 [...]
