Polls! Polls! Polls!

We have so much business on this off-day. Below, please find TWO EXCITING POLLS. The first comes from the comments a few days ago, courtesy of That's Rich. Batgirl found the question so stimulating she had to put it in an entry.

I need a ruling. And this is, I believe, an area that the Batlings are singularly well equipped to arbitrate. The current batch of young Twins is composed of a fine array of talented and attractive young men. But, my wife, poor dear, is having a difficult time telling them apart.

No, not in the traditional "Who's that playing shortstop?" or "What's number 27's name?" kind of thing. My wife is most excellent at that kind of object recognition. Rather, as I have attempted to spell out for her, some of the young Twins are hotties, some are cuties and some are just dreamy. Cases in point:

Joe Mauer - hottie
Nick Punto, Michael Cuddyer, Juan Rincon - cuties
Johan Santana - hottie
Jason Bartlett - dreamy

Alas, however, we have reached an impasse...

Which is Justin Morneau? Is it his cute smile that dominates? Is it his dreamy eyes and languid demeanor? Is it his hot, hot, hot power-hitter skillz? We can't decide.

It's up to you...

Justin Morneau: hottie, cutie or just dreamy?

Note: to all the boyz with emotional ages under 15 who are dismayed by this discussion - yes, I'm a male; yes, happily married; yes, I prefer the opposite gender; no, the foregoing analysis doesn't conflict with that; and I have no problem with it. Flame away if you must, but it says more about you than it does about me...

Dear Mr. Rich--we'll settle this once and for all!

Justin Morneau: Which is He?
Hottie
Cutie
Dreamy

And now, finally, the Chairman Mauer Slogan Contest! The winning slogan will appear on an official BatStore t-shirt. It was very hard to pick the finalists, there were many wonderful entries. Below is just a sample. And remember, we are in no way glorifying Mao, butcher of millions. We're glorifying communism.

The Chairman is a shining son in the heart of the people's line-up.
Mauer to the People OR Mauer to the Meople.
