Those who are about to choke salute you.
Urrgghh. Again.
Dear Minnesota Twins,
You are now 3-22 in Yankee Stadium since 2002, thanks to three more losses over the weekend in each of which you had the lead and then decided it would only be right to give the game, through a host of hideous scoring squanders, pitching mistakes and fielding errors, to your aging, average opponent (despite its having spent 400 million in the offseason) which needs only your presence to feel good about itself again. Since you seem incapable of rising above the standard of gutless incompetence which characterizes all of the sports teams in your city, we would very much appreciate it if you immediately disband and allow professional teams to take your place. You know, the ones which don’t fall on their swords the minute they see a pinstriped uniform.
Sincerely,
Every other team in baseball
P.S. Oakland Athletics: please see above.
Mwa ha ha ha ha.
Whoa. Hold up a minute, the Twins merely needed the weekend debacle at the Yankees to properly focus their chi. Yes, the Yankees beat’em, but it wasn’t really blow outs, the Twinkies were in every game. And now they are mad enough that they are about to wreak some serious havoc on the craptastic A.L. Central. Like 20-1 smackdowns on the Pale Hose.
Don’t despair.
Now the Timberwolves, there is a squad that should disband or be contracted…
