The Twins are now 3-19 in the regular season at Yankee Stadium since 2002 (and somehow 2-2 in the playoffs, a mark that could easily be 3-1 or even 4-0). It’s time to safely conclude that the Yankees are just a nightmare matchup in their home ballpark for your local nine — particularly this year’s version, which has no true stopper/ace on the hill and relies so heavily on the speed and chop game that is often negated by a powerful lineup built for three-run home runs. This sweep felt inevitable from the start, which is really pretty sad. Where does the Twins’ inability to function normally at Yankee Stadium rank on your list of local sports frustrations?

*Some quick numbers: 3-7 record. 19 interceptions. Three games with a QB rating of 56 or lower. A nightmare start to 2008 for Tarvaris Jackson? Nope. The last 10 playoff games for Brett Favre.

*Fasola-link! A reason to go back to college.
