We Want Some Mauer..!

This week was a wild one in the sports world, I feel it's only right to start off with the King himself, LeBron James. After having a spectacular 38 point appearance, he hit the game winning last second 3 point shot off of an inbounds pass from Mo Williams to win game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Orlando Magic, he finished with 41 points.

Next, I am going to talk about MY Denver Nuggets. To be quite honest, they are playing extremely well right now and in my eyes they have looked better than the LA Lakers thus far in this series. Last night, upon having a spectacular TEAM game, the Nuggets tied the series at 2 games a piece and more importantly, they got their bench confidence back.

However, these sports stories are compelling this week but they just couldn't edge out the Twins and the winning streak they used to be on. The Twins are extremely hot right now, and the Metro dome has hosted the 2nd most home runs in a single stadium this season, behind the Yankees and their new hitter friendly ball park. Joe Mauer steals the show this week because he is hitting .444 right now with 11 HR and 31 RBI. This is huge because Mauer started the season on the DL, and since returning to the lineup he has hit ten home runs in fewer than 100 games, for the first time in his career..!
