On the same day British royalty announced the name of their newborn, some of Minnesota's own royalty announced some exciting birth news. Minnesota native and Twins All-Star catcher Joe Mauer and his wife Maddie announced the birth of twin baby girls earlier today (Wednesday).

The Minnesota Twins have lost 11 times in their last 12 games, and losing 90 games for a third straight season looks like it is in the bag. Yet the season is not over for the Twins, and I say that because they can still better themselves for next season right now, and by doing that they need to do these things.

Don't look now but the Minnesota Twins just swept the Chicago White Sox, okay well that is not very hard because the Sox are in last place in the American League Central, but still it is very impressive feat for the Twins who haven't swept the Sox since 2010. What is more impressive is that yesterday you saw the bottom third of the Twins lineup homer, and not to mention Justin Morneau hit is first

Don't look now but the Minnesota Twins are only three games back of the Cleveland Indians for first place in the American League Central; but on the other side it is only mid-May, but at this exact same time last season the Twins were 10 games back. But hey for how horrible the last two seasons have been for the Twins we should throw them a victory parade down Nicollet Avenue for only being one ga

Do not look now but the Minnesota Twins are in first place, yes first place. Yesterday they beat the Detroit Tigers to win the opening series at home, and let's not forget that all of last year the Twins won five series's at home. It is funny how just some competent starting pitching can change the outlook on a season...

It has been almost 22 years since a Minnesota professional team won a championship (1991 Minnesota Twins), sorry Minnesota Lynx...I know you won a championship in 2011, but this list focuses on the Twins, Vikings, Wild, and Timberwolves. The list will go from least likely to the most likely to win the next championship...

Through his high school career, Joe Mauer showed he was a true athlete. Mauer played baseball, football, and basketball for Cretin-Derham Hall in St. Paul. Many of his all-around athletic abilities have enabled him to become one of the most recognizable faces behind a Major League home plate today...

No other player has received so much hatred in Minnesota other then Joe Mauer. What can I say about 2011 that hasn't already been said? Bilateral leg weakness , playing only 82 games, and having a batting average of .287 which was a career low. Not to mention Mauer made $23 million that season.

While baseball fans are soaking up All-Star week, David Letterman decided to feature some American League All-Stars as a part of his Top 10 list. Among the players featured in the Top 10, Joe Mauer made an appearance, delivering number 9 on the list.

The Major League Baseball All-Star rosters were announced yesterday, and while the Twins and Brewers are having a bumpy 2012 season, both teams will be sending a player to be part of this year's festivities in Kansas City. Joe Mauer makes the alternate list for the American League after staying healthy this season and swinging a hot bat lately...
