It appears the Twins have taken it upon themselves to try the very approach on themselves that we suggested fans use for this team a couple weeks back. Though we don’t advocate using reverse psychology on yourself — really, who are you trying to fool? — the Twins are 2-0 since adopting their “We stink” philosophy. Our guy Joe C. had a beautiful game story today about the stinkers and about Joe Nathan catching Torii Hunter’s ninth-inning grand slam and tossing the ball off a fence in the direction of a heckler. Good times. Sadly, the story says Nathan was merely raising his arms in triumph as the ball sailed towards him; on the replay, we swore he was calling everyone off, which would have been even more hilarious. (Note: that picture has nothing to do with the game, except for the fact that we assume Mr. Met is heckling Condi). The Twins are now 60-60. “Well, my worst fears have been confirmed. We’re 60-60.” Hat tip to Marthaler for reminding us of that one.

Mystery link! Maybe Madden 2008 has a few glitches … (watch out for the language in the comments, kids).
