Joe Mauer Finally Hits a Homerun

Joe Mauer hit his first home run of the season tonight, finally! He must have read my Minnesota Twins blog and dug out that old dusty quickswing! It was Mauer’s first homerun since a September 29, 2007 game vs. Boston Red Sox. That’s a span of 217 plate appearances between home runs – oh my! I had been slamming Joe Mauer the past couple of weeks (much to my sisters dismay) – I guess I will have to let up a bit now that he broke through the fence.

Joe Mauer needs a Homer

Last night, my boy Justin Morneau got to be a hero by hitting the homer to win the game, but his pal Joe Mauer has yet to hit a home run this season – what is going on with Joe? How many games will it take? It’s been over 50 games…will it be 60? 70? I should put a poll up. Come on Joe, show us what you got. Perhaps you need to bring out the old Quickswing!
