Posted on August 29th, 2011This video is adorable and very well done. I enjoyed it and I hope you do too – especially the part with the kitten!
Two articles about the criticism that Joe is receiving.
Posted on August 29th, 2011A few updates and lack there of.
Posted on August 27th, 2011I apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy with work and some family time. It has been hard updating the site where all I find in my news feed for Joe are negative articles about him or the team. I won’t post them because it is one thing to be negative it is another thing to “beat to a dead horse”.
We all need to support Joe, even if the situation is not positive or if we are disappointed, nothing is perfect and things happen. Baseball players are humans like all of us.
With that said, the only news to post is the MLB article about Joe and his neck, as well as various Twins updates.

Joe Mauer playing RF for first time as a pro

Prior to this season Mauer had never played anywhere but catcher and designated hitter, but he’s been seeing significant action at first base since returning from the disabled list and will now give the outfield a try. And unless Hughes shows up during the game, Minnesota will face the Yankees with zero healthy players on the bench.
