JOE MAUER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Remember when you didn't like Joe Mauer?
There's an interesting line that splits the heroes and the villains in baseball. That line is marred - much like the chalk that lines the territory between fair and foul on a ball field - with the smudges of players crossing back and forth. Even more interesting, this line is crossed almost without decision by the players. The decisions on who lands on what side of the...

Twins Monday: Mauer's slump is unprecedented
Even batting champs have their struggles.
After going 0-for-4 in Monday's loss to Detroit, Twins catcher Joe Mauer is now hitless in his last 20 at-bats. That's the longest hitless streak of his 10-year career. It surpasses the three-time batting champion's 0-for-17 slump during mid-August in the 2007 season.
