Minnesota Twins get swept by New York Yankees

I don’t think I will be posting mid game anymore (see my previous mid-game Monday night entry). I thought maybe it would be lucky, but I was wrong. The Minnesota Twins were swept by the New York Yankees –swept! There is definitely a Yankee Stadium curse. In fact the Twins are 3-19 at Yankee Stadium since 2002 – ouch. And they weren’t just regular run of the mill losses (don’t question me if there is such a thing), these were fluke losses where guys just didn’t play like they usually play. Pitchers sucked on the mound, batters sucked at the plate, fielders sucked on the grass. It just plain sucked.

Ok, enough grumbling. Ron Gardenhire has promised a “come to Jesus meeting” with the Twins players before they start the Cleveland Indian series so let’s hope that can inspire them to turn it around before we get too far behind the White Sox. The White Sox will be at the Dome next week. It will be crunch time for sure. Ugh.

This was definitely a bad series for our hometown boys - hopefully they'll be able to pick up the pieces when the Yankees are in town in a couple of weeks!
