It strikes me as rude to use a blog just to tear a journalist down. Typically, I don’t get too annoyed with what paid journalists write, or for that matter, what paid broadcasters say. A lot of times, you can tell that certain professionals parrot the company line, but in all honesty, this is part [...]

On Joe Mauer, .400, and the MVP
Posted: 20th August 2009 by vacant in StatisticsTags: Joe Mauer, MVP, non-baseball
If there were a Twitter trend page* specifically for the Minnesota Twins, Joe Mauer and his quest for .400 would undoubtedly be at the top. Terms have been coined for the chase, and there are very few baseball fans who don’t want to see Mauer eclipse that elusive .400 mark. *Unless you live under the [...]

This article was first featured on Bleacher Report, your first stop for the best Twins’ content on the Web. One of the worst interviews the state of Minnesota has ever seen is also one of their most valuable assets.

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?

- Tuesday’s 7-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers has been labeled by Twins’ fans as the ugliest game of the year. The offense was decent; against a below-average National League pitcher and bullpen seven runs is expected. Joe Crede committed his second error of the season, but the Twins’ defense was not what made this [...]
Should Morneau Bat Second?

Ed. Note: First off, my apologies for the lack of updates lately. I’m spending the week at my grandparent’s house filling up the “cousin time” that is allotted annually. Maybe I should consider bringing on another writer? If you’re interested shoot me an email and I’ll let you know. The Twins once again sit with [...]
Thursday Linkage
Posted: 4th June 2009 by vacant in LinkageTags: Anthony Swarzak, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau
Following a 10-1 loss at the hands of the Cleveland Indians, the last thing I want to do is throw together a half-hearted summary filled with cliche one-liners about how close the Twins were to winning. Sure, they “tried hard.” But there were many mistakes to go along with a poor start from Anthony Swarzak [...]
Spring Training Week 3 Recap
Posted: 18th March 2009 by vacant in UncategorizedTags: Joe Mauer, Spring Training
The dominant story of the week, far bigger than anything that happened on the field, was Joe Mauer’s back. The longer Mauer stays off the field, the more important Jose Morales and, to a lesser extent Drew Butera, becomes to the Twins. Mike Redmond is one of the better backup catchers in the league, but [...]
