May 17th, Twins vs. Yankees

A great date overall (it is, after all, my birthday), but not a great date for the Twins to play the Yankees.

  • 1998 David Wells throws a perfect game against the Twins.
  • 2002 Jason Giambi walk-off grand slam with the Yankees down by 3 in the 14th.
  • 2009 Walk-off homer by Johnny Damon makes the third straight walk-off win for the Yankees against the Twins.
See what I mean? You just know what's going to happen when these two teams meet on my birthday. Which just makes this birthday e-mail I recieved all that much better:

Dear DCTwinsFan,
I hope you had a wonderful birthday experiencing yet another gut-wrenching, yet altogether predictable Twins loss to the Yankees.
Sincerely,
The baseball gods

Ahh...so you were the one to blame yesterday? I see!! :)

Hope you had a good birthday otherwise! Too bad Crain couldn't work off the horrible way he's been pitching lately.
