MY BOY JUSTIN

I had a friend of mine call me the other night just to ask about my blog - remarkable as it may seem a few of my friends actually read this - now if I could just them to leave some comments (hint, hint, nudge, nudge) My friend was surprised that I hadn't made a big fuss over Justin Morneau winning the MVP - well, of course I made a fuss about it - I just forgot to write it in my blog - so HATS OFF TO MY BOY JUSTIN!!!

My kids (who really aren't into baseball) can even pick him out of a line-up. They usually say, "Hey, Mom isn't that the guy you like?" They always say it so loudly and at the worst times - like when my mother-in-law is on the other line . . .I had to do a little explaining there. The kids can also pick out my boy Justin's pal, Joe Mauer. At our house we call Joe Mauer "the make-out dude" because we have heard he is a good kisser . . . . if only I knew.

I mentioned a few posts back that there should be a grass roots effort to get Morneau voted as MVP and I would like to take some credit for his winning! It's fans like me that keep the Minnesota Twins in the spotlight!!!!!

There has been some icky talk that Morneau may not have deserved this MVP, but let's face it it's not a coincidence that the Twins' turnaround coincided with Morneau's emergence. After reading countless articles and seeing lots of interviews, the Minnesota Twins players and coaches all agreed . . . "there was no question they felt Morneau was their MVP. "

I'm from Boston and watched Derek Jeter carry the Yankees through their injuries last summer. He was the MVP, not Justin Morneau. Please pass this on. I'm flabbergasted. This is a total fluke. -- Charles D., Boston

Well, Charles don't be a sore loser and Justin Morneau is NO FLUKE!!! If you took Morneau off this Twins team, there is no way they made the playoffs. Can the same be said of Jeter? I don't think so.
