mauermorneau.JPGJama’s off-topic meandering lead us right into The Commenter Talker Of the Day: Who is the Most Valuable Twin this year — Justin Morneau or Joe Mauer. Follow-up: If the Twins manager to win the division, should one (or both) be considered a frontrunner for AL MVP. The case for each is strong: Mauer is leading the league in hitting and could win his second batting title in three years. And despite all the folks who complain about his days off, Mauer has caught the second-most games in the AL this year. Morneau, of course, has 50 more RBI than any other teammate and has not had a day off all year. We side with the Canada Crusher, but we’re willing to listen to arguments.

Also: The Twins are third in the league in runs scored. Crazy, huh?

Finally: What would people think of an Oct. 6 Redactular? Find some place to watch the MNF game between Vikings and Saints?
