Twins Beat Yankees in New York AGAIN!!

The Twins have not beat the Yankees in a series there in over a decade. IF they win today, that will all change. Going into this series the Twins have been 7-34 there (including playoffs) since Gardy became manager in 2002.

Just beating them twice in one series is pretty cool. The Twins haven't been very good so far this season, but you know what? Neither have the Yankees.

Jason Marquis looked just awful in the first, and I'm thinking, "Oh no, not another worthless pitcher." But the Twins had an even bigger first themselves, so that that point it was still good. Marquis settled down. Morneau hit TWO more homeruns. Mauer and Carrol both had doubles and Willingham continued his hit streak.

If the Twins are going to be bad for a long while, I'm going to have to learn to celebrate the "big wins"(or what passes as big wins) as they occur.

I'm celebrating. If the Twins win this afternoon, I'll be celebrating even more.

It's weird. I'm forcing myself to enjoy something that a little over a season ago was second nature to do. Last night's win was fun, just like baseball is supposed to be.

So hoping for more of that in the coming weeks.
