Joe Mauer regrets being able to play only 82 games last season. He must also regret his career-low .287 batting average and three home runs. That’s to be expected.
But in an interview Thursday on FOXSportsNorth.com’s livestream of KFAN’s “Paul Allen Show,” Mauer revealed another regret: He wishes he and his team had been more up front about the causes of his struggles in 2011. – Continue reading

MINNEAPOLIS – Joe Mauer has heard all the conspiracy theories surrounding his prolonged absences from the Minnesota Twins last season.
The concerns have run the gamut from legitimate to outlandish, all generated by the lack of clarity offered by the team and Mauer. With that in mind, the star catcher met with reporters on Friday in hopes of alleviating some worries, dismissing some rumors and ensuring the fans that he will be ready to go next season.
“I’m healthy, I’m happy,” Mauer said. “I can rule out crazy things I’ve heard like Lyme disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus. I think we’ve heard it all. I don’t have any of those things.” read more
I apologize for the lack of updates. There hasn’t been really all that much new news to post, but that will change the closer it gets to spring training!
I will do a mass update with articles and post some new pictures of Joe that are really cool
So check back tonight!
I haven’t updated in over a month because there hasn’t been any media to really update with. Plus I did miss the 2 year anniversary of the Joe-Mauer.org. I will do a post about that follow this. Anyways, on to the update. There are a 2 new Anytime Fitness videos and a local appearance.
First up the videos:

Last Saturday, Mauer was dining in St. Paul at Green Mill when he was approached by UST volleyball senior captain Ashley Maher. The Toms were on site celebrating their MIAC co-championship earned with a 3-1 win over Bethel. Maher — whose last name is almost spelled the same as Mauer’s — asked Joe if he would pose for a photo with the team when he was done with his meal.
Mauer obliged, and when he walked into the back room where the Tommies were sitting, he was greeted by applause.
When I first heard the news, from the MLBnetwork ticker, I was a bit shocked and sad as we all know that Joe wants to be out there and play ball but being diagnosed with pneumonia is serious and requires lots of rest and care. Get well soon Joe and have a good off season, we look forward to seeing you out on the field in February
