Normally in gamethreads we use some stats, trends, or a sabermetrical approach to explain why our Twins are in a rut. Well when it comes to playing the Yankees, it has become obvious that there is some other kind of dark force at work and we must take a more drastic approach. The Twins are cursed, and we need to do something about it.
Now I am no expert in the black arts. Every time I've ever asked a magic 8 ball if a girl liked me I always got a "Most Likely No" answer. I assume it was defective, even though invariably it was right.
So as a novice in the curse business I turned to the best source of information available on how to conquer the unseen.....WikiHow.
They lay out an easy step by step guide which I narrowed down to three steps. I assume if we all follow these steps we will finally be rid of our Yankee masters curse.
STEP 1: Figure out if you are cursed

Do bad things happen to you all the time? Does milk spoil in your refrigerator? Has your favorite team gone 42-100 in regular season games since the year 2000 vs the New York Yankees? Then you are probably dealing with a curse.
STEP 2: Breaking the Curse

1: Find some strange plants and bathe with them, or burn them. Preferably both.
2: Babble incoherent things to made-up Deities and hope for the best
3: Consult professional help. I'm not talking about a therapist. No, hire real witches like at this site HireAwitch.com
STEP 3: Enjoy a Curse Free Life

Live your life to the fullest. Gone are the days of hiding in your basement prior to an upcoming Yankees series. No longer will a Twins-Yankees playoff series require months of rehabilitation therapy. The curse is over.
