I like to call him Crapps...

Think what you want but I'll never understand it. And don't pretend it's about the money. This garbage was going on before he was making $23 million a year and it continues to go on now.

The simple fact is there's no evidence that Joe begs out of games. There's no evidence that Gardy plays him less than he should. And there's no evidence that he's fragile.

I don't understand what some people want from Joe Mauer. Every summer it's like I'm watching "The Life of Brian" recast with even less appropriate accents.

I guess I don't understand what's wrong with being critical about a man who makes millions and is the face of the franchise. He should be producing and he is not, which makes him sitting out even more frustrating.

And Matt Crapps with the loss...

Anybody think Pavano could have gone back out in the 9th? He told Anderson and Gardy 'no' according to FSN.

This team is lacking heart...and it's going to be a long year.

I know its early, but this year just has a weird vibe so far. Thx for playing closers.

You just get that "bad feeling" so far. No power in the lineup, no good starting pitching...

Bi-lateral leg weakness....What the F is that?

Apparently winning more batting titles than any Catcher in the history of the game (3), 4x all-star, 3x gold gloves, 4x silver sluggers, and an MVP isn't enough production for some.

"All right! I am the Messiah! Now, bugger off!"

Sorry, but its not enough...You don't think its fair to expect more from a guy who makes the fifth most money in all of baseball?

Are you related to him or something? I guess I don't get why you are satisfied with him being just above-average.

Like I said, I love Joe Mauer and am glad he is a Twin..However, I expect him to play the game at a higher level.
