Not to worry, Mauer's got this.

Chief is the only person allowed to post from here on.

I don't believe what I just saw!

[twinsnorth49]

Crickets......

 

 

[Mike Sixel]

gamecast just had some kind of data error "mauer homers to left". That can't be right, can it?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Mauer LOL can anybody figure this guy out?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer LOL can anybody figure this guy out?

Just so long as it isn't an opposing pitcher...

[formerly33]

 

I don't believe what I just saw!

Neither can I. It's rare enough to see a Mauer home run, but a called Mauer home run?

 

Inconceivable!

[mickeymental]

crazy as hell.

[Circus Boy]

Well played, Mr. Mauer. The Chief had your back.

[Halsey Hall]

Great time for that, Joe!

[USAFChief]

I tried that exact reference when Mauer hit his HR in extras in Pittsburgh.

 

Nobody got it then, either.

  He's got a young wife and 2 daughters. I know from personal experience...his life is not his. He just hasn't adjusted yet.

[twinsnorth49]

Mauer, washed u.........oh wait.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

walks will haunt!! (they apparently didn't just stop the game when Mauer went to Oppo di Boppo for a late lunch)

[Halsey Hall]

Why on earth would the pitcher walk poof?  He's wild, I tell ya, he's wild. 

[Hrbowski]

Hopefully the Cardinals lose.

Three? When did he get another one?

[Gibby]

 

  Hannah looks oddly posed in most of these commercials.

Succinct, yet highly descriptive. I like it.

[Gibby]

  Freudian typo.

[Halsey Hall]

Pelf is at 103.  Somewhere Bert is saying leave him in.

After that last inning, I'm not sure I disagree.

[Ultima Ratio]

If Mauer's 2009 was an aberration due to PEDs, I'd suggest going back to it -- because either you don't get caught and smash 28 hrs/season again, or you get caught, have to sit, and this removes the tough decision of pulling him from lineup.

 

Win/win right?

 

/kinda snark but kinda serious

 

 

<<<ducks head>>>

[Hrbowski]

We need a walk-off.

[smackle]

Shooooot. 

 

Dear Universe, I take back one bad thing I've said about Joe Mauer.

 

That was fun. 

 

[clank2000]

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[tobi0040]

Mauer Power

  Boyer is in, all is well.

Perhaps not. When I look it up I just get references to The Princess Bride, and since the Sicilian was wrong, then Inigo must be right.
