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.

I need my boy Big Al to translate or actually I have no interest in their words at all.

Big Al's translation:

Since I can't watch this at work, I just listened to the first part. Someone asked a question if people hook up at the Olympics. She gave an answer that people are focused etc on the sport, but things go down.

Mentioned that it's a great ratio for guys. Five girls to one guy. Said that the guys have their pick of any type of woman: Japanese, Egyptian, blondes, tans etc. Said that there are tons of twins. Then they started talking about each others' stomachs and I had to stop watching since I'm at work.
