Imagine Yogi Berra staying out of a game because he had a sore leg!!

With the next injury, it will be time to shut Joe down until after the All-Star break.

Suck it up Mr. $20mm/yr.

All you Mauer bashers have no clue how bad his leg is....it's easy to sit on here and criticize his every move.....How about a little more positives on here????????????????

Why is there a picture of Josh Willingham above this article about Joe Mauer's health?

@bolock54 "How about a little more positives on here????????????????" You're right. We need some positives about Mauer, so here's one. At least with him out of the lineup tonight, he couldn't add to his league leading 14 GIDP's this season. People are going to post comments that you don't like. If you don't like them, don't read them. While I agree about not knowing the severity of Joe's injury and posting criticizing comments about it are foolish, posting comments criticizing those peoples' opinions are just as foolish.

3 years in and we're still asking people, our own players no less, to tell us how nice of a stadium we have.
