Next up on the October baseball calendar: a big, tasty serving of Pinstriped Schadenfreude!
The dong-happy Twins - Rico Baldy's "Bomba Squad", the first team in history to top 300 home runs in a season - will attempt to reverse some dismal history when they open one of the ALDS against the Yankees tonight (7 PM, MFY time).
Previous postseason incarnations of the Twins turned rolling over for the Yankees into an art form, going down to defeat five times in fourteen years (2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2017). The Twins won only two of 15 postseason games against New York in that time period, including 10 of the last 10.
