Joe Mauer, not bunting (but one time he DID bunt, and Patrick Reusse wants to tell you about it).

Good day, Twins fans! Here are today's Twins links:

Tom Brunansky explained why he thinks Jason Kubel's spring training struggles haven't followed him in to the start of the season.

Mike Berardino of the Pioneer Press takes a look at what the Padres' extension of second baseman Jedd Gyorko means for Brian Dozier.

"It's kind of fun, isn't it?" Brian Dozier told Phil Miller in reference to his recent rash of first inning home runs.

Oswaldo Arcia provides an example of what the Twins medical staff is often dealing with.

FanSided recently ran a poll asking Tigers fans who their team's biggest rival is, and the Twins came in last (in the division). I guess 2009 was awhile ago...

Twins fans insist they still prefer 30 degree baseball over indoor baseball--just as long as they can stand under those heaters around the field.

isportsweb explains how the Twins will make the playoffs. (It's happening.)

In case you missed it, you have to read this adorable article about former-Twin LaTroy Hawkin's ridiculously dedicated fan club.

Jake Mauer is not Joe Mauer.

Patrick Reusse will not give up on the "Step It Up Mauer" campaign.

No, really. He even wrote a whole new piece about The Bunt.
