For fuck's sake, Twins. It's Joe's birthday! Not cool.

Post from May 23, 2016 on the other place from wintwins: "Most Mauer dingers don't clear the fence by much because he doesn't want to show off or anything weird. #MinnesotanMauer"

Went looking for some old posts on the other place and was reminded of the post I had pinned for years which reminded me of that time I learned about a Joe Mauer dinger because @haydena51.bsky.social reposted it.

Good times.

Happy Birthday to.... JOE MAUER!!!

Liking all the posts in thisi thread or most of them because welp.

Amazing that this link still works, including the groovy dance beat version of Gardy going off about Hunter Wendelstedt wanting showtime.

They could be challenging so many calls. (It's Joe Mauer's birthday and you know Joe would've challenged some things.)

LOL at Cory saying he doesn't open or respond to texts from Hall of Fame broadcasters. 😂

Cory Provus asked Glen Perkins what he'd get Joe Mauer for his birthday and that led to this exchange:

Perk: "I sent him a nice text."

Cory: "Did he respond?"

Perk "Not yet. He will. He's better at responding to texts than you are."

Now they're bickering about texting response times.

Ope, must be time again for creepy cow umpires.

My thread of STrib coverage of Joe Mauer's high school career from the old place, but when imported the alt text didn't come through (alas). Maybe I'll redo it one of these days.

LOL at this thread from April 3, 2019 wherein Justin Morneau talks about Joe Mauer's bats . . .

(I'm glad to have some of my old posts here, because this is important stuff obviously.)

Happy birthday to our homegrown, first-ballot Hall of Famer, Joe Mauer!!!!

What is your favorite #7 moment?

Happy 43rd birthday to first-ballot Hall of Famer Joe Mauer!

This heads-up play will always be legendary 😤

This is no average day, and the first catcher to win three AL batting titles is no average Joe.

Join us in wishing Hall of Fame catcher Joe Mauer a happy birthday! 🎉

Get out the hard stuff* it's time to celebrate Joe's birthday.

I truly believe that if this happens (or the inverse) this weekend it will cause a seismic shift in vibes

I may have posted these a lot back in the day at the other place.

Whoever designed the typeface for the 5 needs a stern talking to.

The Twins and Tigers really don't play each other again until June? So weird. Still not sure I'm wild about how the schedules work these days but maybe I'm just old.

I still have that text replacement thingie set up.

Also I should remember to do my sports posting from this account not @windowseat.bsky.social.

Uh, Twins, what are you doing?

Ladies and gentlemen…

2014. (Looking at old posts, trying to figure out how many years Kevin & I joked about Vlad breaking the moon. Pretty much every year since that commercial came out probably.)

From 2011. Have I mentioned that old commercial featuring Vlad senior yet on this app/site? I did it a lot back on the other place.

LOL. From 2018. We were both staunch Byron Buxton defenders.

Searching my old posts is kind of funny. I've posted about Byron Buxton a lot over the years.
