Joe Mauer Article

Joe Mauer is the face of the Minnesota Twins and that is why I believe with the article on Extraordinary Joe.  Joe has to be the king in this postseason for the Twins.  He has to put the team on his shoulders and caring them through the playoffs or at least past the Yankees.  I agree with this because the Twins have a great team and all the pieces put together, they just need somone to step up and lead the team.  Since  Justin Mornue went down in July many players have steeped up but now its time for Joe step up and play his best baseball of the season.  He knows the pressure he is under from his hometown fans who have enjoyed a wonderful season thus far.  Opening Target Field, winning the American Central Division Championship and having home field advantage against the Yankees are just some of the great moments this year for the Twins.  But now its time to show what we can do in the postseason.  We are ridiculed for being under achievers who can make the playoffs and then are three and done.  Which is a fair insumotion since they have lost there last 4 playoff apperances.  But now it is time to show everyone that the Minnesota Twins are for real and that they can compete with the best.  That they are no longer cursed against the Yankees and that they can beat them.  If Mauer is able to have the best three games of his life and carry the Twins I guarantee they win the series, and will no longer be called the team that can't perform in the postseason.
