Game 11 Recap: Minnesota Twins 3, New York Yankees 8
After Monday night's victory, I was a little concerned that the Mayans were right about this year. Order has been restored, and all is apparently right with the world: The Yankees beat the Twins again tonight.
Despite actually scoring some runs against Sabathia early in the game, both leads they earned were promptly lost by Liriano who continued his struggles. Once Sabathia had a lead he mowed the Twins down like he seems to do every time they face him. I didn't really have my hopes up since, well, it's the Yankees. Add in watching Span & Gardy tossed by an insecure umpire, and it wasn't a terribly fun baseball game.
Win tomorrow and the series win is still in order. With Jason Marquis on the mound I have no fear!

Josh Willingham: Awesome baseball player.
Greg Gibson: Terrible umpire. Oh wait, that's redundant. Umpire.

Okay, so CoC beat me to the punch, but Nirvana's Nevermind was a watershed moment for music, and had an incredible impact on my taste. I threw out all the crappy glam rock I stole from my brother and dove headlong into the grunge movement. Yeah, I owned a lot of flannel. A couple more of the greatest hits from my early teens after the jump. Continue reading Nirvana – The Man Who Sold The World

It is a little early in the season to read too much into anything but there is one thing I can say for certain-- the 1991 Minnesota Twins did not win their third game of the season until their twelfth game.
Chew on that one for a minute.

There do not appear to be any major league players with connections to the Minnesota Twins who were born on this day. However, this is the birthday of Deolis Guerra (1989), so perhaps that will change at some point.

I figured the Twins for one win in this series. I just didn't know it would be the first.
Game 10 Recap: Minnesota Twins 7 – New York Yankees 3
once again, sorry, you guys, i wasn't able to keep a solid eye on the game. the small percentage of eye that did see the game is wondering how often the twins of this monday night will show up to other games. pavano pitched a great game (most likely out of spite). the inverted W and W and inverted W boys did great. clete thomas continues to show he is the answer to all twins' problems (and is apparently a great home base coach). also, i've always had irrational hopes for casilla; and if he can keep making plays like this (and maybe hit a little please?), i'll continue to be happy he's on the team.
anyway, please pretend that i thought up an an awesome way to recap these twins actually beating the yankmes, and then comment accordingly. danke sehr.
