Joe Mauer Tattoo

[Ray McKigney]

Hoping for 4-2 in the last 6 games.

^That is a leap of faith for sure. 

Do you have any other tats or will this be your first?

This would be the first.

Damn, son.  Rough way to pop the cherry.  I vote for Mauer with mustache, just like your profile pic

[arch stanton]

You should have held out for Kirby Puckett

[ABC]

Do the temp tat, take a photo to immortalize it and pay him $200.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

You made a bet, go through with it!

Cool story behind it, too.

Maybe Mauer will get wind of it if we make it big enough on the internet and reimburse you.

56-102 now.

Not looking good.

 

[Tank]

should have held out for the kent hrbek.

Went to the game tonight with about ten former coworkers. It was gut-wrenching, but the Twins pulled it out. So it's still not over. Just need the Twins to sweep the WSox in a series absolutely nobody (players included) cares about.

Watched a few innings of this game tonight while eating dinner.  Saw the Twins pull ahead after being down 2-0.

My wife, who is somewhat baseball savvy, questioned why I would be watching Twins vs. Royals with practically zero playoff implications.

Actual dialogue:

"Well", I replied, "there's a guy on the Angels board who will have to get a tattoo of a Twins player if the Twins lose."

Wife: "He bet a tattoo on a single game?"

Me: "No, a season."

Wife: Starts to say something, stops, then shrugs and walks away.  I couldn't tell if she was more bewildered by your bet, or the fact I was watching this game.  I didn't ask.

For the record, I was rooting for the twins

 

[ELEVEN]

Go White Sox!

[Stradling]

So Don, what's new?

[wopphil]

Any half decent person wouldn't hold you to this bet. But if he tries to do so, tell him "sorry dude, I can't go through with it," and throw a couple bills his way.  That should solve your problem.

[Schildog]

might as well turn in your man card when handing over the money too.

[the dude abides]

Sorry dude.

 

[Don]

I'll follow through with it. There's a whole office behind this at this point, so there's no getting out of it.

[Spirit]

You could go with caveman Joe Mauer. 

 

 

 

 

 

[BaseballMom]

You should facebook live that shit too.  Just sayin.

Just imagine it as Mauer, on Don's chest.

Go double or nothing next year.  You win, and you can have it removed.  You lose, and it's a Gary Gaetti face tat.

Don, when you made your bet, did you agree to PAY for said tattoo, or just agree to get one? 

[gotbeer]

Ok @Don.  Since you look like you will be getting a permanent tattoo.  Maybe one of our tattoo experts can chime in.  Maybe get Mauer in Yellow mixed in with a very light bllue, with no black.  Because I would think that those colors would be easier to conceal after the fact.

How about a miniature Joe Mauer the size of a freckle?
