Yah, keep complaining about him. I know everyone thinks he is a [me] and not a great catcher, but guess what? He is one of the top 2 or 3 catchers in the league both offensively and defensively. I will admit at times he can be a little soft though.

I know everyone loves to take the Barrerio route and rip "Baby Jesus" to no end, but really other than a few media members, I think Mauer takes more heat from the fans than anyone in this state as far as professional ball players go.

People got too excited early when all we ever heard was that Joe was going to develop into a power hitter, he was a #1 pick, etc, etc.

Fact is, he is young, is a great hitter and defender and is signed for the Twins long term. He is a guy I want on my team if I am playing I will tell you that. Also if you were to ask any MLB player or coach who is among the top catchers in the league and I will bet Mauers name comes up more than most.

Be aware my laughing Twinkie friends that the area surrounding Geno's beloved Cubbies is fondly known as "boys town" you will have to ask Geno why but I have heard that there are many fellas up there who are a tad light in the loafers, if you get my drift! None of that Nancy-Boy stuff on the south side!

Hitman,

My two favorite baseball teams are the White Sox...And whoever is playing the Cubs!

That being said, I could not disagree with you more. The Cubbies would fill that bandbox of a park if the Little Sisters of the Blind were on the field playing! LOL

The Cubbies are notorious for overpaying for talent that is past its prime and for signing huge long term deals. I think they might still be paying Slammy Sosa, is that right Geno?

The idiots who attend games at Wiggly Field are just there until the bars open up in "Boys Town" and then they are off to a night of "fellowship" if you get my drift. They could care less who is winning and most of the time probably could not tell you if you asked!

Geno,

Even a broken watch is right twice a day! LOL

Don't make me pull the stats out of the Cubbies vs Pale Hose with winning records in the last 20 years, it won't be pretty for you. Now getting back to Hitman's question, have the Cubbies finally paid off ole Slammy or do they still owe him a year or two at 30 mil per? I think they still got a while to go on Nomar as well!!!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
