Joe Mauer talks about his off-season. It involved a trip to Japan, commericals, a new workout, the flu, and two breakups:
Q: Your pal Morneau is trying to adjust to all the attention after winning the AL MVP. Have you given him any advice?
A: I’m not too worried about him. I think he’s handled the MVP about as good as you can.
Q: He won’t be your roommate this season.
A: No, he got his own place. But he’s still pretty close to my (townhouse in St. Paul), across the river in Mendota.
Q: Will you miss him?
A: I don’t know if I will. (laughs) I won’t have to clean up after him.
Q: Oh, one last thing. You still dating Miss USA?
A: No, that’s over. That ended in, I think, November. I’m single. I’m young.
i never understood the difference between miss usa and miss america.
I think the Miss USA pagent is more straight-forward in being about beauty. Miss America tries to come off as being more of a well-rounded person who happens to look nice. Miss USA is also gets to go on to Miss Universe, or at least Miss Known Universe.
You knowledge of pagents is remarkable. Even moreso than Cosmo Kramer.
