JOE MAUER

 

ok what the heck is going on

[TwinsCD]

It's like a damn Oprah Christmas Show...

 

YOU GET A HOME RUN

YOU GET A HOME RUN

AND

YOU GET A HOME RUN

[bighat]

Mauer to the opposite field, gets in on the dong parade.

[Blake]

Okay, I get Dozier, Sano and Buxton, but Mauer? 

[ashbury]

Mauer, lol. The A's have no pitching.

[Bark's Lounge]

WTF? Is it steroids night or something? I Looooooovvvvveeeee It!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

Mauer to the opposite field, gets in on the dong parade.

Phrasing

[bighat]

This A's manager is just letting Valdez wear it tonight. 

[David HK]

Geez, even Joe got one---  Yikes, this game.  

 

Valdez..... whew....  Thanks, man.

[Guest]

I.Q. Test: if you just gave up homers to Buxton and Dozier, and first base is open, would you pitch to Sano or walk him and take your chances with Mauer?

[USAFChief]

Mauer really tagged that'n too.  Over the flower pots and completely into the first row.

[Head 1st into 1st]

Joe Mauer's slugging percentage just doubled

[70charger]

 

Now we know there was something in the pregame meal. Hope they don't all get tested for PED's tonight.

 

They all had extra cream in their coffee? They're now worried about whether the tests will come back clear?

[nicksaviking]

I haven't been able to watch much baseball recently. Guess my minimal free time scheduled me a fun one tonight!

shades of Chargois last year?

[Riverbrian]

 

I'm assuming you worked in radio?

 

No

 

I just walked up to him holding a hairbrush and started asking him questions while I pushed the hairbrush closer so he could talk into it. 

 

I thought my career doing that was over. 

[Guest]

Ok, now Joe hit one. Something's up.

Not the career of Mr. Cesar Valdez.

[David HK]

 

What the **** is happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crapforks]

Valdez last pitched in the bigs in 2010 for the diamondbacks.

[D. Hocking]

 

MAUER

 

As expected.

[BoofBonser]

I take complete credit for the dinger parade this inning, thank you very much.

[Aggies7]

Valdez last pitched in the bigs in 2010 for the diamondbacks.

You could have stopped after the first three words of that post

[Circus Boy]

Happy for Buck, happy for Joe M., happy for Miggie, happy for Rosie, happy for Erv, happy for El Comandante, happy for Bull Dozier, happy for Herr Kepler. It's nice to be happy. Maybe now we can have nice things.

[BoofBonser]

The fact that Buxton homered makes me so happy, there's no one else I want to see succeed more than him

[Aggies7]

May 27 is when we earned our 13th win last season

[D. Hocking]

I am pretty sure we have scored more runs and probably won more games than all of last season now.

[Oldgoat_MN]

 

Man I'm pretty sure I'd give up less than three HRs in one inning

Me too, but only because they would never leave me in that long.

[amjgt]

Mauer really tagged that'n too. Over the flower pots and completely into the first row.

Well....

 

Actually....

 

It hit the top of the wall, so it didn't technically clear the flower pot

[Joe A. Preusser]

WTF? I leave to wipe my daughter's butt and Mauer hits one out???? Uncool guys.

[Aggies7]

Me too, but only because they would never leave me in that long.

I could always throw strikes. Granted it was low 70s. I had a knuckle. I feel like I could throw ONE inning one time.
