    Mauer Done for the Year

    Star Tribune's Lavalle' Neal is reporting Joe is done for the season with pneumonia.

    Not like he has been great this year.

    Hopefully, he can start getting ready for 2K12.

    i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

    Mauer will end up being the biggest bust of a contract in MLB history. The favorite son that sinks the franchise for a decade.

      I think we're a long way away from making that assertion. It's much more likely that, upon finding a position at 1st base or in the outfield, Mauer ends up being a very productive but also somewhat overpaid member of the Twins. Todd Helton comes to mind as a comparison.

      Funny, though. Two years ago, almost everyone was very happy that Mauer didn't go to the Yankees and stuck with the hometown team. I bet plenty of people would love it if he was on the Yankees now.

        Of course, I remember how outraged the Minnesotans were when I suggested that signing Mauer long term to a contract with those dollars attached was monumentally stupid of the Twins and also said I didn't want the Yankees anywhere near the guy

          The man has some serious health issues. He has virtually no cartilage left in his knee having already has synvisc injections at age 27. He had some extended viral infection earlier in the year that then created bi-lateral leg weakness. Now in the middle of the summer a robust 28 year old in the prime of his life comes down with pneumonia???? Is he 28 or 82? Pretty sad situation

            He was far more interested in doing commercials that getting in proper shape to catch 130 games. He needs to cut the distractions, and get down to earning that 23 million a year, or the Twins will indeed suck for the next 5 years. He'll never be worth what that contract pays him, but he's a HOF level player IF he decides that he wants to commit to getting there. Catchers with a .323 career average and 3 batting titles are a rare thing indeed...

              He needs to increase his Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 intake.
