Joe Mauer Loves Him Some Chevy

A Minneapolis TV station reported today that Twins All Star catcher Joe Mauer was about to agree to a 10 year contract with the club. This imminent land mark decade long deal was soon refuted:

A major league source told FanHouse's Ed Price that the club is "pecking away" at an extension, and the feeling within the organization is that a deal will get done eventually, "but [it] will be a battle."

On semi-related news, the following video should help personalize Mauer and reaffirm his status as King of the Twin Cities. Oh, it is pretty damn funny too.


Chevy should sign Mauer to an ad deal pronto.

More RAGE Please!!

The police pulled the plug on Rage Against the Machine's "Anti Unjust Wars" concert outside the Republican National Convention on Tuesday. Front man Zack De La Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello & company were not going to give up so they went to the streets for an acapella performance.





Man oh man, do I love this FN BAND!!!

Complete coverage can be found at Above the Fold.
Here is the full 10 minute long video of the 2 songs with the band's comments.

Rage did play a normal concert to a sold out crowd at the Target Center on Wednesday evening. The reviews are just like this band, BAD ASS! Of course, the arrests of a few idiots after the concert will dominate the media's coverage and mar any message of ending perpetual wars/occupations.



Rage Against the Machine came out wearing Guantanamo Bay hoods. Above is lead singer Zack De La Rocha.
