Wouldn’t It Be Nice

If before Opening Day at Target Field, unannounced Joe Mauer stood in front of home plate and humbly addressed the fans.

His voice echoing throughout Target Field stilling the crowd, families at home stopping to watch their televisions. Moms and Dads hushing their kids, cats and dogs lying still while Joe spoke into the microphone. “Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on earth. I am here to thank all of you for making it possible for me to remain a Minnesota Twin for the rest of my career.”

“You’ll find your offertory envelope under your seats, please give what you can. For all of you who are season ticket holders. Please look for your box of offertory envelopes on the tables by Target Plaza and remember to please make sure you take the box with your correct number.”

“Finally, the Twins Men’s Club will be hosting their first annual Poker Night with a 75% cut going to pay for my contract. The Twins hope you consider attending.”

“Now Let Us Play…”

Hey Joe Mauer, if you’re reading this, when the heck you are going to finally sign the contract. No really…sign already…Please…

Go Twins!

No kidding

But is money the only issue? He wants to win the series and he seems to have doubts the Twins can deliver that.

You are playing right into the Pohlad family's hands

The taxpayers already put up a ton of dough for the stadium. Now you want fans to donate more to the team? The money is there, its just a question of whether the Pohlad’s will give it to Joe or pocket it.

Ticket prices are higher at Target Field. Attendance should be higher because of the new stadium. Luxury box rentals are higher. Everything will be fine.

eh...

let them… what will be, will be… I have to control over it and at the time I wrote this there wasn’t alot of Mauer contract talk for a few days so I thought I’d bring the topic up but w/ some humor.

I really think he’ll sign but it’s totally based on faith and not logic which I guess is appropriate considering we call him Baby Jesus
