Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Mauer

In this episode of Sports the NEMO Way we bring the best professional sports athletes of Minneapolis to the table for discussion. Minneapolis is usually a place where sports athletes go to just make a paycheck and retire. I say this because usually they don't want to really pay people they aren't really competitive, and they just really suck most of the time... Until recently the rise of Anthony Edwards for the Timberwolves, Justin Jefferson for the Vikings but still suck because they got rid of Sam Darnold who just won a Superbowl Last Season, and Twins always suck. With all that said there has been some big names that has gone through that city and we will tell you all about them in todays episode. Have a great day and we'll see you all next week... Peace.

Our friend Joe Schmit wrote a book with the Hall of Fame player from St. Paul, and now that book has been turned into a Musical! "The Right Thing To Do-The Joe Mauer Story," makes its debut this weekend at the Stages Theatre in Hopkins. How did all this happen? Former Channel 5 sportscaster Joe Schmit joined Vineeta to rundown the month long run that starts tomorrow night!

In the last 50 years, only four catchers, under the age of 21, had been handed a Major League starting catcher's job; Bob Didier, Johnny Bench, Butch Wynegar and Ivan Rodriguez. That is until Opening Day 2005, when a certain St. Paul, Minnesota prodigy took the reigns for his hometown Minnesota Twins. Joe Mauer would establish his legendary status while playing catcher and first-base for the franchise. His strong mid-west roots and dedication to his craft would help him become one of the most respected players of his era. Known or his sharp baseball instincts, exceptional skills with a bat in his hand and his work behind the dish. Joe left a lasting legacy, not only for his achievements on the field, but also for his positive impact on his community and his dedication to giving back. Whether it was amassing three batting titles, or winning league MVP honors; the hometown hero didn't just join the ranks of all-time catchers, he was a revolutionary at his position, and created a class of his own. #JoeMauer #MinnesotaTwins #CretinDerhamHallHighSchool #TonyLessman #JakeMauer #BillyMauer #BobbyBowden #ToriiHunter #JustinMorneau #JeffCarter #BaseballAmerica #HubertHumphreyMetroDome #TargetField

Dan appreciates Rocco's versatility in his use of pinch hitters and runners throughout the series, while David is furious Rocco didn't let Louis Varland pitch the 10th in game 3. Dan wants to know if this team is good again, while David wonders if it's time to bring up our resident Canadian, Eddie Julien.

A rainy start to the day…some sun later this afternoon. Today is Tax Day, so hopefully you got all the appropriate forms and remembered to put a stamp on that envelope.

Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, who won again but lost two key players against Montreal on Thursday. Can they stay healthy enough to be a force all season, and is the NHL the toughest league in which to preserve good health? And the Wild might not even be the hottest hockey team in town. That distinction belongs to Gophers men's hockey. 10:00: Star Tribune columnist La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for their Daily Delivery debate segment. They share opinions on the Twins' front office shakeup, disagree on the Vikings' most important player and try to identify the Wolves' No. 1 area of concern. 30:00: J.J. McCarthy reportedly bought Joe Mauer's old house; Gophers soccer begins NCAA play.

Jim is joined by Atlanta Braves reporter for 92.9 The Game and host of From the Diamond, Grant McAuley, to break down the hall of fame candidacy of former MLB catcher Brian McCann. First, Grant and Jim cover why McCann is not brought up in the same conversations with catching peers Buster Posey and Joe Mauer despite winning more silver sluggers and making the same/more number of all-star game appearances than both (8:40). Next, they discuss McCann's big postseason home runs during his rookie season, his all-star game MVP that did not result in a new car, and how he compares to Hall of Fame catcher Gary Cater (13:55). Finally, they debate the importance of framing and what to make of framing advanced metrics that highly favor McCann (28:15), before making a final call on whether or not McCann deserves a plaque in Cooperstown (37:10).

Mankato West High School's former defensive coordinator joins the show with honest answers on immigration, gun control, racist jokes... and the college-football playoff.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 111: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: Trump has never been truer to himself than after his solid but unspectacular victory over Nikki Haley in New Hampshire last night. His toadies like Marjorie Taylor Greene were whining within 10 minutes of the closing of the polls that the tally had been rigged against him. And he overshadowed his own victory by getting up and sweating through an angry, petty, vindictive "victory" speech in which he once again resorted to stochastic threats against Haley, this time promising he could reveal enough about her to get her investigated by "them." President Biden, meanwhile, won a non-primary primary in which he wasn't even on the Beauty Pageant Ballot, and he still got about 67% of the votes. And new polling in Pennsylvania - showing him up +8 over Trump there - was probably yesterday's REAL biggest presidential race story. Meanwhile it's Day 9 of Trump's Dementia Crisis. Not only are other Republicans noticing he's making less sense and seeming less present every day, but Trump is now blithering his way through teleprompter speeches and making sound effects on camera - all of which can be neatly folded into Biden Campaign Commercials. And while Jamie Combover's impeachment theater may be coming to the end of its run, there's a sudden revival of the Matt Gaetz Ethics Investigation in Congress. Plus why the President needs to federalize the Texas National Guard and arrest Governor Greg Abbott - today. B-Block (21:00) IN SPORTS: Baseball's Hall of Fame elects new members - one too few, or two too many? Beltre was a lock but I have deep doubts about Helton and Mauer. And look out, another MLB team will be forced to wear those horrific City Connect Uniforms. (25:57) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: How do the Oscars folks do this every year? You nominate Ken but not Barbie? You nominate Barbie for best picture but not its director? This is a tradition that dates back to "How Green Was My Valley" winning best picture in 1941 instead of say, Citizen Kane or The Maltese Falcon. One weird trick that connects Lenin and Benny Hill. And farewell to the greatest radio newscaster of all-time, Charles Osgood. (35:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Eric Adams plays Musical Chairs with actual chairs. Oklahoma's immoral School Superintendent gives a job to the immoral LibsOfTikTok witch. And Tiffany Cross finally breaks her silence on who knifed her in the back at MSNBC. The answer? Joey Scars himself. Joe Scarborough. C-BLOCK (43:40) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Since we're already in Trash-MSNBC-Mode, let me tell you again of the story of how Lawrence O'Donnell, kindly filling in for me in 2010 while my Dad was dying, used the opportunity to try to get me fired, or try to get all my producers to leave with him for his new show. Scarborough is always the worst - but O'Donnell is close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
