Well... I lied.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Twins All-Star catcher Joe Mauer has cleared waivers, according to a report by Fox Sports. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/83...rs-report-says

I guess that at 6/142 the risk that the Twins would say "Fine, he's all yours" is just too great.

**Cris** · 08-29-2012, 10:23 PM

So... does anyone want to claim Vernon Wells? He's got a mean right hook (to wipe down the bathroom mirrors with).

**E.H. Munro** · 08-30-2012, 08:05 AM

Real Madrid?

Crunch time. WIN METHOD time. The time when they separate the contenders from the pretenders. Wins and only wins will carry the day and each team to the playoffs if they win. Absolutely nothing else matters.

I am tempted to introduce an extremely punitive sports cliche infraction on this thread

C'mon now, you're not giving him enough credit. He's also a great token black guy to have in the clubhouse to cheer and give high fives to the white guys.

He always seems grumpy and pissed off whenever the camera zooms in on him.

Bryce Harper with another home run. He is heating up at the right time.

**E.H. Munro** · 08-31-2012, 11:16 AM

Apparently some AL GM is terrified of the Red Sox yard sale and wants to stop the rebuild because Lester got claimed and (maybe, conflicting reports here) pulled back.

Open question to Yankee Fans in a non-troll sort of way. Are you worried?

**Cris** · 08-31-2012, 10:05 PM

FACT: @Trouty20 has scored 106 runs in 109 games. Ian Kinsler is next, with 91 runs in 127 games.

I was from the start of the season. After CC and Kuroda would be there 3rd starter in the playoffs? That pitching staff will always make me worried

Also was a little bit worried about the lineup but Jeter, Swisher and really surprisingly Eric Chavez have really step up. I do wish we put a claim on Mauer we could use him at the #2 spot in the lineup even if he is a singles hitter that is making so much money
