Joe Mauer, making his fourth All-Star appearance Tuesday at Angel Stadium, will be the lone Minnesota Twins representative on the 2010 American League Midsummer Classic roster.

The top vote-getter described the first half of the season as being a little "frustrating" Monday morning in Anaheim:

I don't know about you, but Mauer doesn't need to hit a bunch of bombs to impress me. Although, more than 35 RBI after the break might be nice. Anyway, check him out saving the day in his mom's kitchen...

Well played, Mauer. Enjoy the All-Star game everyone -- especially if you're hitting it up at the New Hope Cinema Grill -- and feel free to email me anytime!
