Joe Won't Go

Why do Red Sox and Yankees fans think that Joe Mauer is going to be playing for them in 2011? There is no way the Twins would let Joe go. He's an icon in Minnesota and has been there his whole life. His favorite team is the Minnesota Twins and he has indicated that he doesn't want to play anywhere else.

There are some people who think that we should trade Joe, but they are obviously out of their minds. Twins fans know how good of a player Joe is and would poke their eyes out with a fork if they ever saw Joe in a different uniform. I just hope that the Twins give Joe the contract he deserves.

And if Joe leaves, who is going to play pogs with Morneau?

Go Play Video Games, Nerd.

Baseball season is upon us. Baseball's Opening Day is a little over a month away and this year's baseball video games were released today. Being the nerd that I am, I went and got my copy of MLB 09: The Show for PS3 last night at midnight. I was the only person at Gamestop that wasn't there to pick up the new Halo Wars game. This makes me feel much less nerdy. Now that I have MLB 09: The Show, I can get the Twins to the World Series and get Morneau another MVP award. Hopefully this same scenario will play itself out in real life. I have my work cut out for me so I'm going to continue playing video games the rest of the night while directing my attention to the Grizzlies/Lakers game every once in while (which, going into halftime, is a 5 point game).
